When installed, Pega 7 Platform contains four requestor types for the system name you choose during installation, plus a reserved requestor type prpc.BROWSER for special situations.
Typically, the four requestor types containing your system name are all you need. If you choose a new system name after installation, click Designer Studio > System > Settings > System Name to access a landing page tab that lets you change the system name.
When you change the name of a system, new requestor instances corresponding to the instances associated with previous name are created. If for any reason, the previous system name did not contain all the requestor types, the missing requestors also are created while renaming the system.
