SQL Server Forum / Services / Reporting Services / September 2005reserved character issue in create folder
When I try and create a folder using the following syntax: folder/subfolder/anotherfolder I get the following error The item name is not valid. Item names cannot contain the following reserved characters ;?:@&=+$,\*<>|"/, and cannot consist exclusively of dots or spaces. When checking the MSDN documentation for the ReportServices CreatFolder I noticed it contains the following comment: Folder names cannot be null, consist of empty strings, or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . " The difference is the message my ReportServer is giving me includes the '/' character, while the documentaion does not. This is causing a great deal of pain with my deployment scripts and I can't find any information on this issue. Hi Generally, you need to create folders one level at a time. folder cd folder then subfolder cd subfolder then anotherfolder cd anotherfolder Regards -------------------------------- Mike Epprecht, Microsoft SQL Server MVP Zurich, Switzerland IM: mike@epprecht.net MVP Program: http://www.microsoft.com/mvp Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/epprecht/ > When I try and create a folder using the following syntax: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > can't > find any information on this issue. Thanks for the reply. Perhaps a little more information regarding the situation would help. I am currently working on a setup/deployment project that will install our SRS reports on the target machine. I am using the web service interface to set up the directory structure and deploy reports via the CreateFolder method. Including the '/' in the CreateFolder call works on every machine in the organization except my local developer installation. Furthermore, the MSDN docs do not list the '/' as a reserved character. However, my SRS installation returns an error listing the '/' as a reserved character. I would assume this is a bug having to do with my configuration and was wondering id anyone else had experienced this. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > > can't > > find any information on this issue. |
