Validation - template cannot contain escape characters

Hi all, im new to Warehouse builder, i find the documentation lacking, the tutorials lacking and i can't find any books on warehouse builder either. Am I stupid ? :-)
Anyway, i've set up 3 constants (varchar2) to pass as parameter values to a function im calling and when i try to validate the mapping im getting 'Template cannot contain escape characters'.
Then im getting validation completed successfully..however, when i try to deploy im getting this:
VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Template cannot contain escape characters.

VLD-1141, Template cannot contain escape characters.

Hi All,
I need help about mapping deployment. I am working on a mapping. I can deploy it before to 9i target location. But after upgrading target database to 10g, I get the error VLD-1141 when I deploy it. The detail is Template cannot contain escape characters.
And the full error message is as following:

There are to bugs:
Bug 5403652 - ERROR 'TEMPLATE CANNOT CONTAIN ESCAPE CHARACTERS' WHEN VALIDATING A MAPPING
Bug 5561224 - MIGRATION OF MAPPING REQUIRES CHANGE IN CONFIG TO ALLOW VALIDATION
against OWB 10.2.0.1
but these bugs are fixed from 10.2.0.2
The bug is related to pre/post mapping operators...
If you are on 10.2.0.3 or your mapping does not have these operators then have no clue...

Template cannot contain escape characters

I created a database function which takes a varchar2 variable as input and passes back a number as output.
I am using pre mapping process to call this function and I created a constant with the value I want to pass to this function. When I try to validate my mapping I am getting this error
Template cannot contain escape characters.
Why am i gettign this error any ideas as to how to fix this. I know for sure the join of the constant to the input mapping process is causing this error but my constant variable just has
'xxxxx_xxxx' no other characters.
Thanks

Hi
Are you using the 10.2.0.1 production release, I think this is bug 5403652. It should be fixed in a patch after (10.2.0.2 onwards), you could also try set based only code generation and see if this bypasses the problem (there is a comment in the bug indicating it is a row based code gen bug).
Cheers

WB_OLAP_AW_PRECOMPUTE: Template cannot contain escape parameters

I tried to use the WB_OLAP_AW_PRECOMPUTE transformation as a Post-Mapping-Process (OWB10gR2). When validating the mapping I get the error message "Template cannot contain escape parameters". Does anybody have an idea what that could be??

Please find below part of the mapping code generated by OWB. There you can see the content of the parameters.

Entering passwords containing special characters in Terminal

Whenever I enter a shell command that requires me to verify my password (such as becoming root), my password is never accepted as valid because it contains special characters, such as "é" (I'm assuming that's why, at least). I've tried many times and am positive I'm not typing it incorrectly.
Does anyone know a way around this, or do I have to just create a less exotic password?

Characters typed with the Option key may not translate properly between different encodings; the exact character expected may be a different one, or may not map to anything at all. You shouldn't use Option-keyed characters in a Mac OS X account password.

How to replace escape characters in a string ?

Hi All,
In my application I came across a problem where I want to replace a substring (contains escape characters also) with another string. The below shown code will replicate my problem :
public class StringSearchAndReplace {
public static void main(String args[])   {
    String stmt = " \\pntext\\bullet\\tab The question as to ";
    String newStmt = stmt.replaceAll("\\bullet\\tab", "B");
    System.out.println("BEFORE: " + stmt + "\n");
    System.out.println("AFTER: " + newStmt);
}Here I want to replace "\\bullet\\tab" with "B". I am unable to move further. Please help/suggest me in this regard.
Its urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.If the String you're trying to replace contains a slash you need four slashes (double it for java, then again because String.replaceAll takes a regular expression)
So I think what you're looking for is:
String newStmt = stmt.replaceAll("\\\\bullet\\\\tab", "B");I haven't tested that though.

Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard. I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air. Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out. But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all. I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well. Documents are opening beautifully!

The data source "....." referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found

Greetings,
I have an InfoPath 2013 form that uses an external data connection. The data connection became corrupt (somehow, no one knows who changed what). A user went in to InfoPath designer and created a new data connection and changed all references
to use that new data connection. Now the form cannot be published at all with the error
"The data source "GetUserProfileByName" referenced in the form template is not valid or cannot be found"
The new data source they created is GetUserProfileByName2 and changed all references.
Of course, since it is broke, they asked me to see if I can find the issue. I went through the form looking to see if they missed any references to the old data connection and can't find anything.
Where is InfoPath storing the old data connection information and where can I remote it? I looked in the manifest and don't see it there either.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Hi Bob,
There are many XML schema files for the data connection, I recommend to check if the references to the XML files have been changed to the new schema files in the manifest file.
For example, if we create a data connection called GetUserProfileByName, then there will be one XML file and three XML schema files for the data connection.
Please make sure that all the references are updated in the manifest file.
Thanks,
Victoria

The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing.
Issue:
The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination.
The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable.
The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in.
The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
What we have done to troubleshoot:
1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always".
3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
Summary:
The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

Hi Whalensdad,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
May be it changes to others at run time.
The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
Thanks,

Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

Cannot insert Captivate Demo - filename contains illegal characters

RoboHelp HTML v8 on XPpro. Captivate v4.
I have created a simple Captivate v4 application demo and published to SWF.
In my RHhtmlv8 project, I create a new topic, and choose Insert > Adobe Captivate Demo.
The Insert dialog allows me to select my SWF file. It shows it in the Insert dialog and starts to play it.
No matter what my SWF filename is (e.g. abc.swf, video1.swf, etc.), when I click the OK button in the Insert dialog, I get the error:
'Unable to rename file, "abc.swf". The filename contains illegal characters.'
I have searched the forums here and find no solution.
How do you get support from this company? I went to the support link and it only showed Captivate as an option, even though I have a valid license for RH8 and have registered it. Yet - for 2 days now, I have not heard back from any support via that mechanism.
Jeff

Hi Jeff
When you attempt to insert the demo, by chance do you still have the project open in the Captivate editor? If so, you likely need to close it there before attempting to insert into RoboHelp. I've seen all manner of weirdness with this.
Another thing that seems to have happened recently that is worth looking at. When you Published your Captivate demo, did you Publish as AS2 or AS3? (For those that may wonder, AS refers to ActionScript. Similar to JavaScript and is the Flash programming language.)
I've begun to notice issues with inserting Captivate content where I have published as AS3.
Let us know... Rick

Hi ,
I am getting below error in SSIS 2008 package when it is run through control-m
The file name is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters.
component "FF_SRC_InboundFidelityInputFile" (1) failed the pre-execute phase and returned error code 0xC020207E.
although this package is working fine in dev environment from visual studio.
control-m agent has proper permissions to the folder still it is failing. Please if anyone knows solution for this issue. I am working on this issue since more than a week but reached nowhere. Please help.
Thanks

Hi Paras,
Based on your description, it is not the VS IDE issue, if it is related to the SSIS, I suggest you post the issue in this forum here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlintegrationservices
, and there you would get better response.

Problem with URL:s containing scandinavian characters (Office 2013 / Firefox / SP 2010)

We are encountering problems with document opening when URL contains scandinavian characters (ä,ö). This issue occurs only with Office 2013 when using Firefox. With IE it works just fine. And Office 2010 works nicely as well.
Error message: "We can't connect to 'https://intra.../Test powerpoint.pptx' Please make sure you're using the correct web address".
This issue only occurs when document or document set name contains scandinavian characters. If I rename it, document opens without any problems.
Any idea how I could fix this?

Hi Law, try changing the settings in the library to "open in client application." You should also read the following links for solutions:

Value 'KIRBYu00A0' of characteristic 0SORTL contains invalid characters

hello experts!
i am facing this error while activating 0vendor. data not available either in info object master neither in psa.
Error Message: Value 'KIRBY ' (hex. '004B004900520042005900A0') of characteristic 0SORTL contains invalid characters
Message no. BRAIN060
Diagnosis
Only the following standard characters are valid in characteristic values by default:
!"%&''()*+,-./:;<=>?_0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
Furthermore, characteristic values that only consist of the character # or that begin with ! are not valid.
You are trying to load the invalid characteristic value 1. (hexidecimal representation 004B004900520042005900A0).
Procedure for System Administration
Try to change the invalid characters to valid characters.
If you want values that contain invalid characters to be admitted into the system, make the appropriate setting in BW Customizing. Refer to the documentation describing the requirements for special characters and the possible consequences.
For more information on the problems involved with valid and invalid characters, click here.
regards
vijay

Hi Vijay,
after KIRBY is a characteristic value which cannot be interpreted by BW properply / is not in the valid char list.
KRIBY is hex value 004B0049005200420059
the invalid char is hex value 00A0 -> online hex converter didn't found a ASCI match.
To solve the problem you will need to fix the record in the source. Or you go to PSA -> delete all in teh field and re-enter KRIBY.
Best regards,
Axel

What are valid and invalid email address characters

What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

Hi
The format of email addresses is
local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
domain name may have a
maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.[1]
The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
the informational RFC 3696[2]
and the associated errata.
Local part
The local-part of the email address may use any of these
ASCII characters
RFC 5322 Section
3.2.3:
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits
0 to
9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters
!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character
. (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
o
Space and
"(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
space, backslash \ and
quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
\ (e.g.
A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
(e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
"abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
RFC 5321 also
warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
(space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail,
for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
and hyphen (-).[3]
Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
!#$%*/?^`{|}~
Domain part
The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
hostname,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
IP address
literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
in email spam.
Examples
Valid email addresses
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
<tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
<tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
Invalid email addresses
<tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
<tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
up the local-part)
<tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
<tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

Regular expression - escape characters

Hi. Is there an escape character for "?", "[", "]", "{", "}" for regular expression? I tried to do the following: "[^[]?{}]*" (the string cannot contain a question mark, left or right bracket, or left or right curly brace). However, I get an error stating unexpected character.
thanks,
Paul.

You should only have to escape the characters that cause a problem in the character class, rather than everything so the following should work.
"[^\\[\\]?{}]*"
