RSA Version/Condition: 7.1.1, 7.2.0
Issue
Special characters other than '_' and '$' are not allowed for variables in the Name field.
Cause
This is a change in product behavior. Starting in 7.1.1 P01, special characters other than '_' and '$' are not allowed in variable names used in Account Template parameters in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
This issue manifests in the following ways:
- Any existing variables in the system that have special characters are not converted to the required format. For example:
- If you have migrated from an earlier version where the special characters were allowed, your connectors will not deploy, nor can you use any of your existing account template parameters for further connector definitions.
Resolution
Workaround
To find all the account template parameter names, execute the following SQL query as avuser:
Select * from t_av_account_template_param;To find parameters with specific special characters, add a where clause. In the following example, the SQL query finds all account template parameters with a space.
Select * from t_av_account_template_param where name like '% %';
