[hyades-dev] RE: Naming of the Agent Controller/Hyades Data Collection Engine

All,

This issue was discussed during the TPTP coordination meeting yesterday 
and last week's marketing group meeting. The final decision is that the 
component is to be called the "agent controller".

To summarise the key points of the discussion, the term "data 
collection" was felt to be too narrow in its scope, as the component 
will eventually encompass execution as well as collection capabilities. 
Some concerns regarding the current over-use of the word "agent" were 
raised, but the majority vote went to the term "agent controller".

Many thanks once again to all who participated in this discussion, and 
in particular to Nellie for all her help and advice to the marketing 
group on this matter.

Best regards,

Melanie

Andy,

Given the discussion at the face to face, the outcome will not be HDCE, 
but the Marketing group will have to meet to discuss various 
higher-level things before guidelines can be given for these kinds of 
subcomponent names.

Iââ'¬â"¢m not sure whatââ'¬â"¢s happened with this since the original 
message 
was sent.  We talked about it last week at the data collection meeting, 
and it didnââ'¬â"¢t seem like there was much support there for the name 
Data 
Collection Engine.  As Hoang pointed out, the acronym DCE just 
isnââ'¬â"¢t 
useable for this, using the full name isnââ'¬â"¢t a very good option 
either 
and I personally donââ'¬â"¢t particularly like HDCE. 
 
Whatââ'¬â"¢s the current state of the name change?

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". 

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.
