What happens if an element is given a name that contains characters NOT supported by windows for either files or folders? Is this supported? How does DM deal with this. In our system element are created dynamically through code and can get assigned names that contain invalid windows characters unlike when you manually create a new element from the Cube where it will not allow you to enter any invalid characters. A quick test showed that the element name in DM looked correct with the unsupported characters but the Folder name for the element in the Elements folder did not match as it did not contain the invalid characters.
Thanks
Normally this is not supported.
see Naming of elements, services, views, etc. | DataMiner Docs
if the name created dynamically contains characters that are not allowed, i would expect an error.
