Each Application Server instance must be identified by a unique name. In this step you choose the name for the instance that shall be created by this Setup Program.

This instance identification is used for having a unique name for the installed Windows Service and is also used as part of the service URI. I.e. when a client wants to connect to the Application Server it will have to know this name.

The Setup Assistant will check the uniqueness of the instance identifier, you will only be able to proceed if the instance identifier is unique.

The instance identifier must conform to following rules

•Must be between 3 and 50 characters long

•Must start with an ASCII letter (a-z or A-Z)

•Must contain only ASCII letters a-z and A-Z, digits 0-9 or underscore character
