Special Characters in Master Data Objects
Posted by: Daniel In: Oracle Data Relationship Management| Tips 'n' Tricks
Data Relationship Management currently allows objects (e.g. DRM property name, Exports, Property Queries, etc.) to be created using special characters. Please be aware some of these characters can cause issues when using the system. Here’s some examples:
- (comma) – Causes issues with comma-delimited lists. Besides objects, if you’re going to use Ancestor List, you will run into problems with the commas being the delimiter that will cause problems.
- <>”‘=^ – Can cause issues with the Migration utility
- (), – Can cause issues with the Formula parser
You should avoid creating object names that contain these characters where possible. As usual, just use something that’s simple such as alphanumeric plus hyphens perhaps, and you’ll be fine.
