On Windows, folders and files cannot start or end with spaces. If it is done, Windows endpoints cannot be used, and FlexDeploy on Windows will have similar issues. Most special characters work on Linux, but failures on Windows are likely. Windows has protected names for files and folders like COM2 and CON. If you use a protected name as a folder name, this will also fail on Windows. You can open a support ticket if you find an issue with special characters or have any other issues. Starting with FlexDeploy 9.0.0.3, : character is handled differently in Folder or File name, if you use any files that contain : character in BI, OAC, or OTBI projects, you should rediscover with the inactivate checkbox checked. In other projects, the files and packages work the same as before, but and builds that contain those files created earlier than 9.0.0.3 need to be rebuilt before deployment. |
The items in the catalog contain metadata, differing for each project type. If using source control for the project, the items are automatically discovered into the catalog. For some project types, the items are discoverable from the underlying source system (e.g. a development repository). The files represent metadata only, as the referenced source file is pulled from source control or the source system during the build.
