Character restrictions in the Designer require that you rename
users from the User Administration tool.
In
Rational® ClearQuest® Designer,
when you try to modify user information for a user who has a conflicting
name, you get the following error message because of the angle bracket characters
(< >) in the name:
ERROR! The string value ("DupUser<SITE1>") is invalid: Names cannot
contain one of these characters:! "#$’()*+,./:;<=>?@[\]^‘{|}~
You must rename the user. You cannot modify any user information,
except the Name field, until the user has a unique name that does
not include the angle bracket characters (< >).
You cannot rename
or delete a user group.
To rename a user:
- Click Tools > User
Administration.
- In the User Administration window, double-click the user you want to
modify.
- In the User Properties window, modify the name of the user.
- Click OK.
- Upgrade the associated user database by clicking DB Action > Upgrade.
- In the Upgrade window, select the user databases you want to upgrade.
- Click OK, then click OK again.
- The administrator at other sites must upgrade the database after receiving
the synchronization packet that contains the changes.
