APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The WCM API LibraryService.copyLibrary method utilises the
  specified locale to construct the date string used as a suffix
  when specifying the copied libraries name. This can cause an
  InvalidLibraryNameException if the locale uses characters in
  the
  date string that are not allowed by JCR when naming libraries.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The WCM API LibraryService.copyLibrary method utilises the
  specified locale to construct the date string used as a suffix
  when specifying the copied libraries name. This can cause an
  InvalidLibraryNameException if the locale uses characters in the
  date string that are not allowed by JCR when naming libraries.
  

Problem conclusion

• Analysis: The LibraryService.copyLibrary API method constructs
  the newly copied libraries name by appending 'COPY -' (in
  English) to a current date string using the specified new
  libraries locale. As the date string can contain characters not
  allowed in library names, the locale used for the date string
  should be hardcoded to English.
  
  Solution: As above
  

Temporary fix
