Question:
Why do email addresses with special characters like "&" , “- - “ get rejected with errors?
Environment:
CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.5 and r11.3.6+
Answer:
Most companies do not support special characters in their email addresses. CA has intentionally added special character restrictions on email addresses.
Here are our rules/requirements:
1. Email address can contain alpha-numeric chars
2. Email address can contain dot(.), hypen(-), underscore(_)
3. Entries defined in #2 cannot be used as consecutive chars
4. Only one "@" symbol can be used.
5. The "@" symbol cannot be preceded or followed by a char defined in #2.
