Defining Illegal Characters

For AVEVA NET Gatekeeper and AVEVA Change Manager, you may define a list of illegal characters. The applications refer to this list when reserving [also reserving via Excel (.xlsx) or tab-delimited text (.txt) file upload] Tags and assigning the Naming and Numbering codes.

To add a custom list of illegal characters, access the \TIM.WebSite\Dictionary\TIM.Dictionary.Data.xml path and refer to the following section:

...
<Item name="Local.TagCode.ForbiddenSymbols">
<Culture name="no">
<rows>
<row id="0" value="|"/>
<row id="1" value=" " />
...
</rows>
</Culture>
<Culture>
<rows>
<row id="0" value="|"/>
<row id="1" value=" " />
...
</rows>
</Culture>
</Item>
...

Note: The characters that are prohibited in AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard, such as, {, } and |, must be excluded from this list.
