What do GBRSPEC, BOBSPEC, etc., stand for?

We know that RDASPEC stands for Report Design Aid Specs, DDSPEC stands for Data Dictionary Specs, etc., but is there a list that tells what all the replicated objects spec filenames mean? I'm a 10-year CNC, and I don't think I've ever seen such a list, or if I did it was years and years and years ago, and I know there's some sort of historical explanation for these names. Customers always ask, and I'm tired of having to try to BS my way through an answer on it. (Betcha lots of others around here have had to do the same!)

To be clear, I know which CO tables each file correlates to (F98741 to GBRSPEC, etc.)...it's the NAMES of those files that I'd like to know about.

Thanks!!

I appreciate your willingness to help, sincerely. That info is very useful, and I'm well aware of that section of the Package Management guide, and it's pertinent to this thread for others here who may not already be aware of it, so it's good that you posted it.

However, let me state more clearly what I'm looking for:

What I'm looking for is the explanation (historical or otherwise) of the NAMES of those files. In other words, what does the "GBR" in GBRSPEC mean? What does the "BOB" in BOBSPEC mean? etc etc

Update: I also opened up an "informational" case with the Oracle GSC on this today, in the faint (I know, I know) hope that maybe someone there might have this in a cheat-sheet or old document somewhere. Support analyst who got my case (and experienced one with whom I have worked cases before) not only did not have it, but was unable/unwilling to proceed further to research it without proper justification beyond "idle curiosity". (Translation: She/they don't have the answer to this one, either!) Obviously I told her not to proceed further with this as it's not business-critical, merely informational.

I know SOMEONE around here will have "the list"....

GBR: Generated Business Rules

BOB: Business OBjects

That covers those two. Anyone else?

Got a list of "all of 'em"??
