SYMPTOMS

Index Server and Site Server might not recognize any DBCS or extended character in catalog names or in column/property names.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

Index Server and Site Server recognize quoted strings as single IDs, even when they contain DBCS characters. If a catalog name or column name contains DBCS or extended characters it needs to be quoted.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The first character must start with a-z|A-Z, while subsequent characters can be a-z|A-Z|0-9|<under_score>. If this were to include any other characters, the string must be double quoted.

REFERENCES

For more information on using catalogs and column/property names, please refer to Index Server or Site Server documentation.
