DUAS SAP: Variants and Jobs with special characters not handled correctly

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

1. Jobs cannot be executed when the VARIANT name in SAP is ENTREPÔT+7J and this name is used in Dollar Universe (problem can also occur on UVC).
DUAS accepts only the VARIANT with this name ENTREPÃ ”T+7J, which is the name that is shown in the listing of the XPB2 Uproc.
 If the name is forced to ENTREPÔT+7J than the uproc will abort with this error messages in their job log.

===================== SUBMISSION ERROR =====================

2. It is impossible to open the variable list of a Variant with such a name.

3. The same problem concerns Jobname with special characters

4. The problem concerns exclusively caracters like 'ä', 'ë' or 'ù' but not '\' or '/' which are part of the standard ASCII code page.
