This registry entry better defines the name of an I++ tool.
The PC-DMIS naming convention does not allow a nickname or alias using the period or dot character ("."). Instead, you can use this registry entry to define how you would like to associate another valid character or character string in place of the period character.
For example, to create the tool name "MyTip.Up", you would set the value for the IppAliasDotChar registry entry to "$" and enter the name of the tool as "MyTip$Up". This is sent to the server as "MyTip.Up".
A more complex example is if the "$" is required to be part of the tool name. In this case, set the value for the IppAliasDotChar registry entry to "$$" or "$*$". The tool name is sent to the server as "MyTip$.Up" or "MyTip$*.Up"
Entry Name: IppAliasDotChar
Entry Type: You can use any character or character string to replace the period (".") or dot character when you define the tool name.
