Naming and database collation rules

Robots and folders with the same name are no longer supported.

Consider the following guidelines when creating names in Management Console and Design Studio.

• Names must be unique and cannot be duplicated, even if the case is different but the name is the same.

• During backup, restore, and import operations, case is not considered, resulting in errors for duplicate names with different case letters such as "a.robot" and "A.robot."

  Duplicate names are not allowed, including robots, snippets, types, resources, and database mapping names.

  Duplicate names in parent folders are not allowed, including robots, snippets, types, resources, and database mapping names.

Important tips for collation:

• If you are creating a new database and not restoring from backups, use case-insensitive collation.

• If you are restoring backups from a database that used case-sensitive collation for database tables, the target database must use case-sensitive collation.

  Otherwise, the restore process may cause errors or unexpected results.

Refer to Naming policy in the Tungsten RPA Help and "Create a new database" in the Tungsten RPA Administrator's Guide.
