Management Tool: Alias enhanced
  • Type: Defect Correction
  • Reference: PBI 421566
  • Compliance Impacts: This item is not a compliance or regulatory issue.
  • Documentation Impacts: No documentation impact
Issue/Summary: Previously, it was noted that when using special characters in the alias name, the Document Generation Services Management Tool could not validate any of the characters after the special characters. As a result, the following validation warning appeared: "The original value already exists for account #####." Based on this behavior, it was determined to prohibit the use of special characters in the alias name.
Solution/Technical Notes: We have enhanced this behavior; if attempting to use special characters when creating an alias, the following warning message now appears: "Special characters are not allowed." The Add button is also disabled.
Implementation Notes: With this enhancement, users can only use 0-9 and A-Z / a-z alphanumeric characters.
