Warning
Internal names are used to reference configuration elements. The internal name of an object in a process instance is specified in the AT_OBJNAME_INTERN object attribute.
Internal names begin with a letter and consist of capital letters with no special characters (A-Z), figures (0-9), and the _ (underscore) character.
In practice, the following guidelines for creating internal names have proved useful:
