The fully qualified name of an Integration Server element is composed of two parts: a folder identifier, consisting of the folder path in which the element resides, and the element name. Integration Server represents elements in the following format:

folder.subfolder1.subfolder2:element

For example, if the HomeLoan service is in the Personal folder, which is contained in the Finance folder, the fully qualified service name is:

Designer ensures that the fully qualified name of each element within the server is unique. Depending on the action you are performing on the element, Designer accomplishes this either by alerting you that the action cannot be completed or by appending a number to the name of the element after the action is performed. For example, if you are copying a flow service named checkOrder2 to a destination that already contains a flow service with that name, Designer copies the service and names the copy checkOrder2_1.
