Sure, we document that right here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/Appian_Administration_Console.html#data-sources 
 The key phrase is: "If you are using multiple environments, a data source with the same name must be created in each environment."

This page provides standard Appian design objects and object property naming conventions that you can adapt to your environment and organizational guidelines as needed.

Best practice for naming all the objects is defined here - Standard Object Names - Appian 22.4

Peter Lewis · Answer

I'd recommend keeping the same name for the database in each of your environments. It's already implied that it will go against the dev/uat/prod version of those, so naming it more about the business purpose (e.g. Case Management DB) will generally be easier to work with.

Abhay Dalsaniya · Answer

The object name should be same on different environments. Why you need different name based on the environment?
