As of FlexDeploy 9.0.0.3, all special characters should be handled when sourcing from OTBI and deploying to OTBI using Linux endpoints and with FlexDeploy running on Linux.
In Starting with FlexDeploy 9.0.0.3, \ / : * < > are escaped coming from OTBI during discoveryfollowing escape sequence is used. This means that if you use any files that contain those these characters, you should rediscover with the inactivate checkbox checked. A new file will appear. The name will be similar , but slashes will be percent encoded. These files didn’t work previously, so this doesn’t affect existing builds.
Character or String | Escaped as |
|---|---|
: | %3a |
\/ (back slash forward slash together) | %2f |
\ | %5c |
Known Limitations
On Windows, folders and files cannot start or end with spaces, but this can be done in OTBI. If it is done, Windows endpoints cannot be used, and FlexDeploy on Windows will have similar issues.
