Issue/Introduction

The result of the list-service-instances command contains the columns "Service ID" and "Service Name". More descriptive names for these columns, that better describe what they contain, could be "Instance ID" and "Instance Name".

Resolution

The Service is a folder containing configuration files where the modules from the deployment area downloaded and installed. The Service instance is the process that is running and executing tasks. Thus - it may be easier to understand the result if you instead interpret the resulting column names as "Instance ID" and "Instance Name".

An example of what it could look like: 
C:\tibco\tss\10.4.0\tomcat\spotfire-bin>config list-service-instances --verbose=true
Tool password:
Node                        ID
