| The notification FM isn't case sensitive, but it is sensitive to
the exact names used to register entities.
Generally, the SNMP entity instance you type in will be interpretted as
an internet name, and will be compared against the "name" alternate
identifier used during registration. Trailing internet domain names,
that are typically ignored when possible by "standard" internet applications,
are NOT ignored and will make a difference here.
Suggested work-arounds are to either type a leading DNS namespace to make MCC
understand that you're using a fullname (if that's what you're doing) or
type the exact internet name used to register the entity. Note that just
typing a leading dot (.) isn't good enough, as the instance will still be
treated as an internet name.
The DIRECTORY command will show you exactly how the entity is registered.
Don't trust SHOW; it looks similar, but the "name" argument simply echos
whatever you typed in.

| Thanks for reply,
Did you get a notification to your entity foo, when it is registered in
lower case ?
It happend to me that the target command was accepted as in your
examples, but if the rule (occur rule on 3 times fireing of
ipreachability test) fires, the notification window shows the
notification,looking into it's details shows that the target-name
is changed to uppercase. But the entity is registered and created
in lower-case, so notification does'nt find a target in the map.
I tried ",', to tell the target-database that the target entity is
lower case, but without success.
Hope that explanaition is not confusing.
I'll try to take some files to show it to you.
