Control > Maintenance > Permanent Name (Apex/Summit)The Control > Maintenance > Permanent Name command establishes a permanent canonical name for a subsystem or a directory enclosing a subsystem. The name of any object created within an enclosing object with a permanent name uses that permanence name as it prefix. This command displays the Permanent Name dialog box.
A permanent name is a fully qualified UNIX pathname that is used to permanently identify a file-system object. In UNIX, files may have many names because of links and NFS mounts. Apex requires that all objects have a permanent canonical pathname that can be used to access them anywhere on a network. You can use any pathname that resolves to an object to access it as long as there is some permanent name. If you create a permanent name for an object that goes through a symbolic link, you can move the object (even to another file system) without affecting clients that import the object.
You can also use this command to reestablish the location of a subsystem if its location as specified by the .Rational_Location link is accidentally deleted.
To see an object's canonical name, select Control > Reports > Properties (Apex/Summit).
