  ****************************************************************
  - Unable to use the "." (dot) character in Policy name.
  The V2.1 version of the config tool only supports alphanumeric
  characters in the Policy name.
  
  - There is a duplicate subgroup of "Netview" in data stream
  list.
  The subgroup names need to be consistent in different streams to
  make sure they will be grouped together.
  
  - Cannot select the subscriber on subsequent edits for the new
  custom data stream.
  There is an internal tag for the customer streams which is not
  set for custom data stream by default.  This prevents the
  subscriber field from being edited as required.
  

Problem conclusion

• CDP v2.1 is updated to fix the key problems described above. The
  config tool will now support the same non-alphanumeric
  characters in policy names as were supported in V1.1.
