Characters allowed in object names
You must adhere to rules when you provide names or identifiers for the components and resources in your integration server environment.
- Alphabetic and numeric characters:
- Uppercase alphabetic characters A-Z
- Lowercase alphabetic characters a-z
- Numeric characters 0-9
- The following special characters:
- Windows operating systems:
$ % ' (apostrophe) " (quotation mark) - (dash) _ (underscore) @ ~ (tilde) ! ( ) (space) = [ ] & # + , (comma) . (dot) - Linux® and UNIX operating
systems:
. (dot) % - (dash) _ (underscore) @ ~ (tilde) ! = [ ] & # + , (comma) (space)
If you expect to trace the operation of an integration server, restrict the name of the integration server to include only the valid alphabetic and numeric characters listed. The trace commands do not support the use of special characters for an integration server name.
- Windows operating systems:
On Windows operating systems,
integration node names are not case-sensitive. For example, integration
node names inode1
and INODE1
refer to the same integration
node.
On Linux and UNIX systems,
integration node names are case-sensitive. For example, integration node names
inode1
and INODE1
refer to different integration nodes.
On z/OS® systems, you must enclose mixed-case names in quotation marks.
Additional rules are enforced for naming message service folders in the MQRFH2 header.
