Help Document

Diagnosis

The component name was specified when a document was stored, but it contains the invalid character .

System Response

Storage of the document is rejected.

Procedure

Give the component another name that only contains valid characters.

Based on the IEEE POSIX Standard for portable file names, you are recommended to adhere to the following conventions:

  • Only use:
    • Uppercase (A-Z)
    • Lowercase (a-z)
    • Digits (0-9)
    • The following special characters:
      • . - _
  • Do not start the component name with a hyphen (-).

The components of the document can then be used without restrictions on all POSIX-conform file systems.

The following special characters are also allowed:
! # $ % ` ( ) + , ; @ [ ] ^ ' { } ~

Note that the following characters have a special meaning under UNIX:
! ` ' ; $ ( ) { } [ ] ~

Of the printable characters of the PCS (portable character set)
! " # $ % & ` ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ' { | } ~
the following characters are not allowed by Windows:
\ / : * ? " < > |

Characters & and = are exceptions because they are used to separate parameters in the KPro URLs.
