"Email address is invalid" when adding a new user to BPC 7.0

Hello Experts,
I was adding a user with an apostrophe in his email (like "John.O'Hara (at) mycompany.com") and BPC didn't like that character with "Invalid email address" message. I've removed an apostrophe, added user and then modified email address directly in the tblUsers table.
Here is the question:
Is it possible that apostrophe would pop-up as an error later on in other modules of the application?
Thanks,
Akim
P.S. I can't modify user via Admin Console if apostrophe is in the email address... And it doesn't display user details when I click on that user name.

SAP BPC doesn't allow you to use some chars insight of ID of users or dimensions members because it can cause some errors later on. I don't advice you to force the insert direct into table because later on you can have problems.
I will provide just an example:
Single quote is used to delimitate strings into SQL Server.
So oifyou used insight of ID you can arrive in the situation where the system will perform a select like:
select * from table where userid ='John O'Hara'
The result willbe that actually no users meet this criteria.
This will happen because actually the condition will be just: userid = 'John O' the rest will be truncate.
So the BPC doesn't allow you to insert some chars into ID or other field just to avoid errors like into my example.
Kind Regards

  • My iPad says my email address is invalid when it is not

    This is an ongoing problem I have with my iPad. I create a login for a site using my usual email address. When I attempt to login again to the site, the iPad insists the email address is invalid So I can't login. I moved to a different email address and the same thing happened. I tried updating the operating system but to no avail.  This is very important as I'm attempting to apply for a new job.

    If this is just happening on one website, that suggests to me that the problem is with the website. Or is this something that happens anywhere that you try to use your email address?

  • Telephone Number field when adding a new User - CCM 4.2.1

    Is their a way to automatically populate the telephone number field for a user? BAT does not allow this field to be added to the spreadsheet (phones-users). Thanks.

    BAT Version: 5.2.1
    The DN is for the actual line number of the IP phone, not the telephone number field which is stored with the User infromation. These can be independent; for example, I might make a user's actual DN 40001, but want the telephone number in the CallManager Corp Directory to be 5179840001. So, I can place the E.164 number in the Telephone Number field under the User page in CCM. Then, when a user looks up the number using the Directories button on the IP phone, the full E.164 number shows up for that particular user search instead of the 5-digit number which is helpful for offnet dialing and overlapping dial plans among remote sites.
    So, I am looking for a way to automactically populate the Telephone Number field for each user (not the line number of an actual IP phone).
    Thanks.

  • Got a new mac today, I created my iCloud account (and therfore my Apple ID?) I tried to set up my iTunes and download updates, and it says i need to review my account, then I had to edit my Apple ID details, but said my email address was invalid???

    From the information that you have provided, it sounds like your Apple ID has been disabled.  You can read this to see how you can troubleshoot that issue.
    Apple ID is Disabled - Apple Club - Google Sites
    You can try signing out of your ID on the iPad and sign in with his ID and see if that works.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with your husband's newly created ID.

  • Hotmail - Sender email address is invalid

    Hi,
    Ever since I got my new iPhone 3GS, I have not been able to send emails. I had an izymail subscription for hotmail on my original iPhone and it worked fine. I synced everything over to my new iPhone 3GS and also made a new email account as Hotmail is now free to set up using POP3.
    I turned my izymail account off because I was having problems with it fetching old deleted emails once or twice a week. Everything was working as normal until I tried to send an email and the following message appeared: "Sender email address is invalid"
    I've tried switching my izymail account back on and switching my new Hotmail POP3 account off and my emails will send ok...
    So why are my emails not sending with my newly setup Hotmail POP3 account?

    Sender Address invalid is the error message you get when your SMTP (outgoing email) settings are not working.
    Many times this is because you are trying to use an SMTP server on a WiFi network and the ISP is blocking all SMTP connections that are not going to the ISP servers - this is to stop spammers.
    Also, you will get this message when you try to use your SMTP server on 3G or Edge - the ISP sees a connection to their email server (SMTP) coming from AT&T (or your cell carrier) network not their own network and they think it is spammer so they deny the connection.
    Some things to try - turn on the default SMTP server on the ipHone that corresponds to your carrier - when on 3G/Edge you can use this outgoing email server to connect without problems. Or, look to see if your ISP offers an email server on a different port (mine offers one on port 80 - all web browsers use this so other nets can't block it). Look for settings for authenticated SMTP servers - if your mail provider offers this it may be a way in also.
    The search box (top right) will bring you many threads on this same subject.

  • I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me in.

    I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me to sign into my account. At some points it's a vicious circle because it asks for a password at key times when trying to correct the problem. Note that the new email address shows when I log into my Apple account and shows it was verified. For some reason the system isn't updating to the new email in ALL places.
    I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

  • Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid

    Cannot Send Mail One of the Recipients Email Addresses is Invalid
    This is the error message I keep getting on outgoing mail. Incoming mail works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions to try?

    You mean you can receive and send messages when you are connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider as the internet connection for your wireless network at home, but you are unable to send messages with this account when connected to AT&T's cellular network?
    If so, this leans toward your email account being provided by your internet service provider.
    Most internet service providers block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated. Not many ISPs provide an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide their customers.
    You can do one of two things. The iPhone includes AT&T's SMTP server to select as the SMTP server to use for this email account when you are connected to AT&T's cellular network, but you probably won't be able to use AT&T's SMTP server to send with the account when connected to your wi-fi network at home.
    Or you can switch to using an email account that provides an authenticated SMTP server. A Gmail account is one, and a MobileMe account is another.

  • I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?

    I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Can I transfer my email address from old iCloud account to new iCloud account?

    Hi Guys,
    Basically I left the Apple ecosystem a year or so ago, I have recently purchased myself an iPhone 6 and decided I wanted a fresh start so decided to create another account.
    The only problem is I still use the old email and if possible I'd like to close it on my old account and have it transferred to my new one, is this possible? I'm not too fussed about losing calendars or contacts as I successfully transferred those over.
    So yeah, basically can I have my other email address moved over to the new account?
    Thanks

    You cannot transfer your iTunes account to your iCloud account. However you can change its login to another non-Apple address. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID. Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'. Enter your new address (which cannot be an Apple address) and click 'Save changes'. Now open iTunes and sign out; sign back in with the new login address.

    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.
