Currently, when you register a Windchill server in Creo, it asks you for a Name and Location. The name is then used by Toolkit applications as server_alias, where server_alias MUST fit as shown here:
wtws://<server_alias>/<workspace_name>/<object_server_name>
If that is what the server_alias MUST be, why does it need to manually entered? It should be automatically harvested from the server Location. The server Name, then, can be whatever the user wants it to be in their server manager. In face, Name is an outdated field, since it used to control the display in the Folder Navigator, but has since been replaced by "Windchill Cabinets". The only place it is visible is in the Server Manager, and it would be nice to allow it to be descriptive without breaking toolkit applications.
