Changing how default project names are set up
For information about how project names are used, see
Project names and IDs.
To change the way project names are created
The code for creating new projects is stored in DPM in the ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName property.
1 In Windows Explorer, navigate to:
[INSTALL_FOLDER]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\DDL\Code\Tools\VB.NET\DPM Explorer.Net
2 Double‑click DPMExplorer.exe.
3 Click Servers > ServerName > Applications > ProjectEditor, and then click ApplicationSettings.
4 Select ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName.
5 Change the script, and then click Apply.
To make the project name the same as the project ID
If you want the default project name to be a combination of user name and time stamp, the same as the project ID, there is no need to write the code yourself as it is already available in DPM in the ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName_Old property.
The disadvantage of this method is that users can not create more than one project per minute, because the timestamp does not include seconds.
1 In DPM Explorer, expand the left frame so that you can see the ApplicationSettings properties for Project Editor.
2 From the menu, choose Add > Property.
3 Enter a name for the new property, for example: ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName_Orig, and then click OK.
4 Copy the value of ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName into the property you have just created (ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName_Orig). Click Apply.
5 Copy the value of ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName_Old into ScriptCreateUniqueProjectName, overwriting its current contents. Click Apply.
6 Close DPM Explorer.
7 Open UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin, and then create some test projects to verify that the script is working as intended.
