@Rupesh C. This is possible via the API. I suggest you double check your token permission level so it reflects the following:

Then jump over to your Environment API, Click the "topology/Smartscape - Service" and toss in your token code, and run the command. I cannot show you my results but I can assure you we got the fully qualified name as seen in the Dynatrace UI

@Chad T. - Thanks for comment. I am using the same as you suggested. I could see the display name values as plain text but you know most of the PGs, Services Names of dependent components are hashed/coded as below --

Any advice?

Ah yes, the relationships are set with the unique process/service ID. These are used to identify specific processes/services. As of now there is no way to actually change that to the A-Z name. If you go to a service in your dynatrace instance you will see the ID for it in the url too:

The ID is also used for other API parts as well:

I would recommend putting in a feature request if you need the actual names of these values and not their unique IDs
