CSDM : Business application and application service naming convention

[MoeBacht]

Hello, 

Is there any standard to follow for naming convention regarding business application and application service in CSDM ?

Thanks

Name them after what they are. These shouldn't really need a naming convention. Application services I tend to suffix with the environment for easy identification (e.g ServiceNow Prod)

The business applications should be named as they are understood in the business. This MIGHT slightly differ to what the vendor calls it.

Hi - It's worth taking a few moments thinking about - How do your users / service desk identify biz apps (App services)? Do they have app IDs (that people use) or aliases? Consider how the naming convention impacts search in the CI field in I/P/C

Although in the CI field you can enable searching on multiple fields, this is slow and only works on fields that are on cmdb_ci.

Do your I/P/C users need to search non-prod envs? If not, these could be removed via a reference qualifier
