Upgrade
During an upgrade of a Masking Engine to a 6.0 or later release, a name with leading or trailing white space will be automatically trimmed, and a counter value might be appended to the end of the name to prevent a naming conflict. For example:
|
pre-upgrade name |
post-upgrade name |
upgrade change |
|---|---|---|
|
"alg_SecureLookup" |
"alg_SecureLookup" |
no change |
|
" alg_SecureLookup" |
"alg_SecureLookup1" |
leading white space trimmed and counter value appended |
|
"alg_SecureLookup " |
"alg_SecureLookup2" |
trailing white space trimmed and counter value appended |
If any name from the above-mentioned "configurable entities" table has a restricted special character - an upgrade will fail with the corresponding error message.
Create/Rename
If an attempt is made to create a new entity (or to modify the name of the existing one) with leading or trailing white space or any of the special characters listed above, the operation will fail on a 6.0 or later release with a corresponding error message.
Environment Export - Import
If any entity name exported from a pre-6.0 version contains leading or trailing white spaces or the special characters listed above, the import operation will fail on a 6.0 or later release with a corresponding error message.
Sync
If a sync bundle from a pre-6.0 version contains leading or trailing white space or any of the special characters listed above, then the Sync import operation will fail on a 6.0 or later release, with a corresponding error message.
