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
Hi Jeff,
For each element created in the DataMiner system, a folder and a number of files are stored on the file system. Therefore it is not technically possible to allow element names containing characters that are not allowed by the operating system.
