The profile name is invalid

Diagnosis

The chosen profile name can be rejected for two different reasons:

1. One of the following naming conventions was not followed:

The second character of the profile name is an underscore, or is not an underscore:

Internal SAP System:
The second character is not an underscore. However, this is mandatory. Exceptions to this rule are the special profiles SAP_ALL, SAP_APP, and SAP_NEW and the subprofiles of SAP_NEW.
Customer System:
The second character is an underscore. This is only permitted in SAP profiles.

You want to create a profile in the partner namespace, but have not followed the naming template J_NX, where N = 1 to 9 and X = A to Z for the first four characters of the name.

2. The profile name contains impermissible special characters. The following characters are allowed:

ABCDEFGHIJKLNMOPQRSTUVWXYZ_0123456789&()+,-.:;<>=?

System Response

The profile is not created.

Correct the profile name and repeat the process.
