IT29364: SPECIAL CHARACTERS IN DATAPOWER NAME MIGHT CAUSE DOWNLOAD FAILURE OF AN ILMT FORCE SCAN PACKAGE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When issuing ILMT Force Scan, a compressed package with the scan
  results is created in the local:///ilmt/output directory.
  The naming convention of the package contains the DataPower
  name.
  If the DataPower name contains special characters other than US
  ASCII characters ([a-zA-Z0-9_]) or a dash or a ".", the file
  download will fail as PermissionDenied.
  

Local fix

• Configure the appliance name without special characters.
  

Problem summary

• Using special characters within the devices system name
  and running an ILMT Disconnect scan might produce an output
  file which is not allowed in the filesystem and thus cannot be
  retrieved from the device.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 2018.4.1.7

Temporary fix

• Only use US ASCII characters ([a-zA-Z0-9_]) or a dash or a "."
  for the device system name.
