I’m not sure
what’s happened
with this since the original message was sent. We talked about it last
week at the data collection meeting, and it didn’t seem like there was
much support there for the name Data Collection Engine. As Hoang
pointed
out, the acronym DCE just isn’t useable for this, using the full name
isn’t
a very good option either and I personally don’t particularly like HDCE.
What’s the
current state of the name
change?

Re-naming the "Agent Controller".
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.
Regards,

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.
