Error description

  • Summary:  A Resource Environment Provider name cannot contain
    special characters, like the colon.
    
    This is easily reproducible:
    1)  Go to the Admin Console
    2)  Click Resources
    3)  Click Resource Environment Providers
    4)  Click New
    5)  For "Name" put "Hello:"
    6)  An error "Name is not a valid entry"
    
    This is the scenario from Portal development:
    "Basically what we are trying to do is to create a resource
    environment provider entry within the resources.xml (via
    wsadmin and WAS admin console) either on node or on cluster
    scope.
    
    Background: Portal does store properties in such resource
    environment provider buckets and we need them to contain at
    least ':' in the name.

    ****************************************************************
    When we create an entry within a Resource Provider, you would
    not be able to use special characters, such as a colon ':'.
    
    Validation was done for that field to restict special
    characters.
    
    Steps to Reach :
    -----------------
    1)  Go to the Administrative Console
    2)  Click Resources
    3)  Click Resource Environment Providers
    4)  Click New
    5)  For "Name" put "Hello:"
    6)  An error "Name is not a valid entry"
    

Problem conclusion

  • We made the required validation to allow special character
    colon ':" as a character in between the name but have
    restricted it to be entered at the front of the name.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fixpack 6.0.2.13 and 6.1.0.2 ... Please refer to the
