DCM restrictions

DCM database names must conform to several conventions. The following characters cannot be used in the database identifier of the DCM database.
Character Reason for restriction
/ UNIX path delimiter; internal delimiter
\ Windows path delimiter; escape character
' UNIX quoting character (forward single quotation mark)
" Windows quoting character
: Windows drive letter delimiter; Rational® Synergy object specification delimiter
$ Informix® single-character wildcard; regular expression
? Informix single-character wildcard; regular expression
* Informix multiple-character wildcard; regular expression
[ Informix match syntax; regular expression
] Informix match syntax; regular expression
@ Rational Synergy object specifications delimiter
<space> The database identifier cannot be enclosed in quotation marks.
# Rational Synergy DCM delimiter; comment in GNU make files

In addition, the database identifier cannot be longer than eight characters and cannot be the name "probtrac". The database identifier cannot contain the version delimiter by default. You can change this condition with the allow_delimiter_in_name attribute.

The DCM database identifier is case sensitive. In a DCM cluster that uses lowercase databases, DCM database identifiers must be unique without respect to case.

You cannot use the following characters for the DCM delimiter: a-z, A-Z, or 0-9. You can use the following characters as an alternative delimiter: ! ~ =

The default DCM delimiter is the number sign (#).
