Given IBM has spent great deal of time in
investigating the right name for the collection engine,
for consistency purpose, we will be
adopting this naming convention unless anyone screams.
For acronym, we do not want to use just
DCE (Data Collection Engine).
It will be confusing to existing acronym
for Distributed Computing Environment.
As a result, we will prefix it with Hyades.
The new acronym will be HDCE (Hyades Data Collection Engine).
We will update all our documents and
proposals accordingly.
In summary, HCE will go away. HDCE will be
its replacement.

Subject: [hyades-dev] Re-naming
the "Agent Controller".
Re-naming the "Agent Controller".
History:
There
are numerous terms floating around in the UI, docs, & service names
that
are being used to describe the data collection engine that is a part of Hyades.
Some
of these terms include:
Agent
Controller
RAC
Hyades
Data Collection Engine
Hyades
Collection Engine
Hyades
Data Collector
A
number of defects have been opened to track this problem in the UI & the
docs:
70551,
71463, 71592
The
inconsistent terminology also causes problems downstream for any products
that
want to build on top of Hyades.
After
much consultation with the usability team, editors, & development,
the
following solution was proposed:
A
generic term will be used throughout the UI & docs.
Term
to be used in the UI & in the docs: Data
collection engine
The
windows service name: Data Collection
Engine
Name
to appear on product installations: Install the data collection engine.
(sentence-style)
We
are going forward with these fixes for Hyades 3.1 i2.
Please
let me know if you have any issues with this change.
Thanx.
