The naming convention used by the ZIY interface starts with the Request,
(or Event) name, such as LOG, WEATHER, CL_SCN etc. Event names that
start with CL_ specifically target a single ZY/VY server, through a client
module (CL) on the ZIY dedicated to this ZY/VY server. The name of a ZIY
request server function that handles an incoming request is the request
name with a _SVC suffix. Thus, the ZIY server function that handles
the CL_SCN request is called CL_SCN_SVC. The name of the callback server
function that handles the data generated by a request is the request
name with a _CLBK suffix. Thus, the Callback server function that
handles the CL_SCN request is called CL_SCN_CLBK. The name of the
data structure associated with a particular event is the event name
with a PM_ (for ParaMeter) prefix. Thus, the data structure associated
with the CL_SCN event is PM_CL_SCN.
