Special Characters in KM Names

Hello Experts,
are there any restrictions regarding special characters in KM Properties or any other Km Objects? I have in mind i read somewhere about restrictions for search result set names / ids, are there are also in any other areas restrictions?
Thanks for your help,
Stefan

Wow, this is misleading.
The confusion starts with saying "special", and then not define it...
The KM UI uses display names, but this doesn't affect what you can or can't put into an identifier (the RID for resources, or the property name for properties).
What RIDs can take depends on the repository manager. In the best case, it roughly allows everything that would be allowed in a Windows filename. In particular, some rules depend on position as well, such as no trailing whitespace.
Property names by definition use the same rules as XML element names (thus no whitespace at all).

  • Special Characters in Report Name or Report Description(URGENT)

    Hi All,
    I am using Hyperion Financial Reporting System 9 tool. Could anyone tell me what problem we face if we use special characters in report name and report description?
    Waiting for quick response.
    Regards,
    SN

    when using "&" in report and folder titles we had issues with report books not being able to run and also the report name would be incorrectly described.
    try to avoid if possible, there is a lower risk if using on an all windows enviroment (clients and servers) but if you have *nix OS it does introduce complexity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Mail.app hang if mail attachment have special characters in file name

    Hello,
    I have upgraded to 10.5.1 from last version of Tiger.
    After upgrade is not possible send message with attachment which have a czech special characters in file name (like á, í, é, ý, ú, ů, ě, š, č, ř, ž) with Mail.app. If I try it, CPU is overloaded and I must kill Mail.app process.
    The same problem have my friends who are running a clear installation of Leopard 10.5.1.
    Thanks for correction.

    I have the same problem with Hungarian chars. I tried out Tomas suggestion and it really worked. It is so dissaponting to have this kind of bug in a system like this. They never tested against this situation.
    I hope somebody at apple read this discussion and somehow this will be fixed in the near future.

  • No special characters in sequence names?

    Is there a reason, why it's not possible to use special characters in sequence names in the mapping workbench 9.0.4?
    Or is it just a bug?
    In earlier versions it was possible.
    It's a convention from our customer to use the $-character in the sequence names.
    Robert

    Hi Robert,
    This is a bug (#3553857) scheduled to be fixed in the next patch release of 9.0.4.

  • Tag Query with Special Characters in Tag Name not working

    Hello-
    We are on SAP xMII 12.0 sp8.6, connecting to Honeywell's PHD. We are doing Tag Queries, and all is working well, except when there are special characters in the Tag Name (+, /, \) We have attempted to do the Encoding of the tag name, such as as is returned from the function xmlencodename and also tried URL Encoding.
    Here is our tag which returns nothing.
    82TK1INV.OCTANE_R+M/2
    We have also tried these encoded versions, still to no avail:
    82TK1INV.OCTANE_R%2BM%2F2
    82TK1INV.OCTANER_M_2
    Any help on how to return the values with special characters in the tag name would be very helpful!
    thanks,
    Paul Mazeika

    To Chianti's question of why can't/shouldn't MII work with those bizarre tag names...
    Actually, there are a number of reasons:
    1) It's a poor design practice to use characters like that in tag names, regardless of the underlying system.  That type of information is best assigned to the tag description, not the tag name.  I've even seen idiots put leading spaces on tag names...figure that one out!
    2) MII uses XML extensively, and XML's syntax rules dictate what is and is not acceptable for XML element and attribute names, and many of these special characters are not permitted.
    3) Usage of characters in tags that also represent mathematical operators greatly complicate the parsing and processing of expressions that involve tag names
    In general, it reminds of the story of the guy who walks into the doctor, bangs his fist against a specific spot on his head, and says "Doc, it hurts when I do this", to which the doctor responds, "so don't do that". 
    So, Don't Do That.

  • Special characters in file names and directories

    I'm building a site that lets users create directories to
    which they give the name they want.
    Using PHP, is there one universal solution to avoid any
    special characters in directories, yet will
    display the directory/file names in html the way the user
    intended?
    example of a possible name:
    "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu"
    How can I encode this so it's valid as a directory name, yet
    can be displayed as intended when the
    name is output to the page. urlencode() does not do the job,
    neither does htmlentities()...

    PS: basically it's not a url encoding issue.
    I can url encode "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu",
    and pass it in a url query string. But my issue is not
    with an url query string, it's with an actual URL, that is,
    the actual name of the directory. It
    can't be "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu". But I
    want to allow the user to name their directory like that
    if they want. So I need a way to encode this into characters
    that can be used for an actual
    directory on the server.

  • Image Capture and special characters in file names.

    Hung up image capture yesterday: We tried to enter a date in the file name of the document we were scanning. It proceeded normally, but then did not save the file and image capture would not scan again until OS restarted.
    Problem repeated until we discovered a slash in the file name box. Changed the file name and everything works now.
    Software should either prevent user from entering special characters in the file name box, or properly handle the error and not hang up the application.

    Hi,
    Would mind providing a screenshot about how your Content Query Web Part rendering in your environment?
    In my environment, it displays the filename which contains periods:
    I would suggest you create a new page and insert a Content Query Web Part to perform the test again.
    Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any progress.
    Thanks

  • Special characters in file name of attachment...

    Hello,
    I attached a file in SC which had # in the file name. I was not able to open the attachment... Is there any restrictions on using the special characters in attachment file name?
    Regards
    Amit

    Hi. Yes, we had the exact same thing. If the file name is not A to Z or 0 to 9 it can not be opened.
    I think we asked SAP and there was no solution for our system.
    I think it depends on your file system and things like that though.

  • Reg Special Characters in The Names causing the problems EX: Bu00E1rbara u00E1u00EDu00F1u00E9

    Hi Friends,

  • Special characters in joins name and Identifiers

    I am working on a business area which was created a time ago. Joins name contain special characters. Regarding Oracle, these are not going to be accepted in the new versions.
    How can I fix this problem, knowing any change in joins name will affect the workbooks.

    You can - and should - double check this, but I believe changing the name only of the join will not cause a problem per se.
    It's when you change the name AND the identifier in one fell swoop that a problem will occur.
    That's because when Disco opens up a workbook, it will look for the name OR identifier (if, for example, the name was changed).
    So, in theory, you could change the name of a join, folder, etc. and then open all your Discoverer workbooks and then save them again. Now they will have knowledge of the new name.
    Then if you wanted - and ALL workbooks were already run and re-saved - you could change the identifier and do the whole process over again.
    So, to summarize, I believe that just changing the actual join name ONLY will not cause any problem.

  • Special Characters in File Names

    Hello!
    I'm experiencing some difficulties with the file names
    RoboHelp is producing. I have imported my Frame files by reference
    and am generating Web Help.
    RoboHelp apparently does not like hyphens/em dashes in file
    names - when I generate help, I get files names with unusual
    characters in the file names (where the hyphen/em is supposed to
    go).
    For example:
    - A Frame heading 1 is this: Agent HTTP tunneling
    —proxy server
    - The RoboHelp topic generated is this: agent_http_tunneling
    %E2%80%94proxy_server.htm
    These characters are breaking my nightly builds. Is there a
    way to configure how RoboHelp deals with em dashes? If so, where
    would I do that?
    Thanks very much for the help!

  • URL encoding special characters in episode name

    Hello,
    Configuration :
    1 capture agent on a MAC MINI under MAC OS X 10.6.5
    1 PCP2 server on an XServe under MAC OS X 10.6.5
    I encounter this problem since 10.6.5 update :
    When I stop a Podcast capture, if episode name is for example abcd#, '#' character is "URL encoded" to '%23' sequence. So the final file name of the podcast is abcd%23.m4v instead of abcd#.m4v.
    This was not the case under 10.6.4.
    I tried this solution : renaming the file adding a task in the workflow ; this task launches a bash script which renames all files replacing '%23' sequences by a '#' character.
    Files are well renamed, but the task don't give hand back, and XGrid task never ends.
    Got this error in /var/log/system.log :
    sandbox [nnn] : bash(12146) : deny file-ioctl /path/to/bash-script
    Thanks for help

    Problem solved !
    I had a problem with rights on my podcasts directory.
    So, for those who are interested, you can add a task to your workflow, for example a bash batch file which renames all files in your podcast directory whose name contains a special character :
    for fic in `ls`
    do
    mv $fic `echo $fic | sed -e s/%23/#/g`
    done
    the additional workflow task must contain 2 items :
    --- an item "command" of type String with the path of your batch file as value
    --- an item "dependsOnTasks" of type array with an element of type string with "postflight" as value

  • Rename Files while uploading, having special characters in File Name.

    Hello Forum,
    In our SharePoint environment, we are having many document library. Our users regularly uploads files to the documents library. As SharePoint doesn't allow to use "&"  character in file name, it'll throw an exception regarding the file
    name.
    Now what I needed is :
    Is there any way to remove "&" character while uploading files? Can we replace "&" with any other character while uploading files.
    If is there any paid solution available, leave comment.
    Thanks in Advance.

    You have to change the folder/file names before hand then upload them to Sharepoint.
    here is the script which will scan the files/folder and find the special charaters and fix for you.
