APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When you use the groupMembershipUpdate.sh, syncExistingUsers.sh,
    or usersSync.sh script on Linux, you can't pass user names or
    group names arguments when they contain spaces. For
    syncGroupMembershipForGroups.sh, a workaround is possible but
    wasn't documented.

Problem conclusion

  • These commands already have the ability to interpret a !x!x
    sequence to represent blanks. For example, you can pass "A!x!xb"
     instead of "A b". If your shell requires escapes, use \!x\!x as
     blank replacement. For example, in Linux you would pass
    "A\!x\!xb" instead of "A b". With this fix installed, this
    ability is now documented in the commands, which you can see by
    using the -help parameter.
