Member name contain invalid character '&'

Hi,
I am trying to deploy the HFM application in EPMA 11.1.2.1 and am getting the below error..
"Member Name 'XXXX&xxxx' contains invalid character '&'"
I thought member names support '&' character?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
PM

Looks like they have a catch-all down further in the HFM admin guide:
Loading Metadata_
When you load a metadata file, Financial Management replaces metadata with new metadata
from the load file. Replacement is useful for making minor changes to the metadata, such as
adding an account. For example, if your application includes a North America entity and you
load entities from a metadata file, the attributes for the North America entity in the file replace
the attributes for the North America entity in the application.
Note: Do not use the ampersand ( & ) character in a metadata file. If you do, an error occurs.
Loading large metadata files on the Web can result in a proxy timeout error. If this occurs,
increase the Web proxy timeout setting or use the Win32 client to load the file.

Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
    Symptoms
    While upgrading or uninstalling a Windows software application (such as iTunes for Windows or QuickTime for Windows), you may receive one of the following error messages:
    file name is not a valid short file name
    The folder path 'folder name' contains an invalid character.
    ... where file name could be the name of any file, and folder name could be the name of any folder.
    In the case of software that uses advertised shortcuts (such as recent versions of iTunes for Windows or Safari for Windows), the messages may also appear when attempting to launch software that has already been installed.
    Resolution
    The error messages are usually caused by damage to the installation database for the application. Clearing the installation database for the application by using the Windows Installer CleanUp utility can usually get you past the error message.
    (1) Click [here|http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301] first, and read the important information about the utility.
    (2) Click the *Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility package now* link on that page to download a file titled msicuu2.exe.
    (3) Open the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install it.
    (4) In your Start menu click *All Programs* and then click *Windows Install Clean Up.* The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (5) Select the software you're getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message for from the list and click Remove.
    (6) Click OK in the confirmation dialog that appears.
    (7) If you have multiple entries for the software you're getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message for, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other entries for the software.
    (8) Click Exit.
    (9) Restart the computer.
    If you were getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message when trying to upgrade or launch software, now try reinstalling the latest version of the software.
    If you were getting the "not a valid short file name" or "invalid character" message when just trying to uninstall software, program files for the software in question will remain on the PC after it has been removed by the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you want to remove leftover program files, check in at the appropriate forum at [Apple Discussions|http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1] and ask which files can be safely removed.

    Thanks

    HI,
      PI doestnt support special characters like '-'. first you need to change the file name as you specify '-'. to remove that and you have to give '_'. then uyou have to impot >XSD file into ESR under ExternalDefination.
    i hope this will help you.

  • Dynamic column Name# Contains Invalid Characters. Bind_table() fails

    Hi WD experts,
    I have tried to use the bind_table() on a dynamically generated table. Now it happens that this dynamic table contains  columns like NAME# . This gave rise to a dump :
    The Name NAME# Contains Invalid Characters. Valid Characters are A-Z, 0-9, _, and /.
    Other tables which do not have such columns are correctly bound.
    In my method , I first loop over the field catalog to retrieve some field names from a dynamicallt generated report...
      LOOP AT lt_fieldcat_out INTO lwa_fieldcat.
        comp-name = lwa_fieldcat-fieldname.
        comp-type ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>DESCRIBE_BY_DATA( lwa_fieldcat-FIELDNAME ).
        APPEND comp TO comp_tab.
      ENDLOOP.
    structure which represents the dynamic table
      struct_type = cl_abap_structdescr=>get(
                                              p_components = comp_tab
                                              p_strict = abap_FALSE   ).
      node_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
      node_info = node_info->add_new_child_node(
                                  name        = 'DYN_TAB_NODE'
                                  IS_MANDATORY                 = ABAP_TRUE
                                   IS_MANDATORY_SELECTION       = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_MULTIPLE                  = ABAP_TRUE
                                   IS_MULTIPLE_SELECTION        = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_SINGLETON                 = ABAP_FALSE
                                   IS_INITIALIZE_LEAD_SELECTION = ABAP_FALSE
                                  static_element_rtti = struct_type
                                  is_static = abap_false
      struct_type = node_info->GET_STATIC_ATTRIBUTES_TYPE( ).
    Afterwards, I bind a dynamic table to the new node...
    Do you have an idea how to circumvent this ?
    Thank you,

  • Outlook Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

    Folder name contained invalid characters or is only spaces

    Hi,
    It seems the issue is that you receive the message when you are using Outlook.
    First please let me know, what type of account are you using in Outlook? Exchange, IMAP or POP3?
    I suggest you logon the Webmail/OWA to check whether there are any special characters in the folder names. If there are, remove the special characters and check if Outlook still prompts this message.
    This issue can also be caused by some anti-virus program or 3rd-party add-ins. Please disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check the result. I also suggest you start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine whether it's related to add-ins:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    If there's no problem in Outlook Safe Mode, go to FILE -> Options -> Add-Ins to disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which on caused this problem.
    Since the information you provided is quite limited, you can also let me know what you have done recently to the PC or Outlook before this issue occurred.

    I have checked the conversion of your hexadecimal string to character set and it is as follows
    Hexadecimal 6369623631737E31
    Character cib61s~1
    So the problematic character is ~ . Also convert it to UPPER using formula operator and then reload the data .

  • ITunes music contains invalid character

    I've been using iTunes, but now when I launch it tries to configure every time, and then gives the error message 'The folder path 'iTunes Music' contains an invalid character. I've also tried unistalling iTunes, but get the same message. Another message is then given saying 'fatal error during installation'.

    It usually indicates that there's damage to the iTunes installation database in your iTunes.msi file for your current version of iTunes.
    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time? If so, are you able to launch iTunes without the error message?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • How do I find file names containing special character

    hi all
    I need your help with a code that deals with finding file names containing special characters like * / \ : ? " |
    the reason is I am doing a project that transfer files and folders from Mac to Windows. But names containing above characters cant be moved to windows.
    the part of the code I write is like this
    set illegal_syntax to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & quoted form of POSIX path of oneFolder & " -name '*'")
    if (illegal_syntax is not equal to {""}) then
    repeat with each_record in illegal_syntax
    do shell script "/usr/bin/ditto -c -k -rsrc --keepParent " & quoted form of each_record & space & quoted form of (each_record & ".zip")
    end repeat
    end if
    First of all that '' will gives me an error.
    Second, what i tried to do is once the file/folder is found, zip it at current location. But the problem is how can I zip it without the special character? or should I just give it a name, like "originalfile.zip";?
    Last, or maybe you have better idea to deal with this situation? BTW, I can not rename or delete the file/folder because customer won't allow me to do it.

    The backslash is used to escape characters in AppleScript, so if you want to use it in a string you need to escape the escape character, for example "\\*".
    You could set the name of the archive by replacing the illegal character with another one, such as an underscore:
    <pre title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor" style="font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: 10px; padding: 5px; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 720px; color: #000000; background-color: #FFDDFF; overflow: auto">set each_record to "some*file*name" -- example
    set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, "*"}
    set the ItemList to text items of each_record
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "_"
    set each_record to the ItemList as text
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
    log each_record --> some_file_name
    </pre>

  • CO-PA Extract error (0MATERIAL contains invalid character)

    Hi all,

    It seems the material master has a invalid character at the end. I already cleaned up the material masters (mara, makt..etc). But I still got this error.
    Is any one know how should I fix this problem? Is there a way to find out the source table of the extractor, so that I can make the change directly in database level?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Manfred,
    Thanks.
    The problem is that we have several (about 5) entries having the same error, I don't know what eactly the ending invalid character is (I can see a "?" in text editor, a "#" in BW).
    Is it a way to correct the COPA posted data? I am trying to find out what table is actually storing it, but no idea...
