Object name transformation

Object names are not necessarily valid file system names, so the object names might need to be transformed. The method used is different from that for queue manager names because, although there only a few queue manager names for each machine, there can be a large number of other objects for each queue manager. Only process definitions, queues, and namelists are represented in the file system; channels are not affected by these considerations.

When a new name is generated by the transformation process, there is no simple relationship with the original object name. We can use the DSPMQMOBJN command to view the transformed names for WebSphere MQ objects.
