Any item that can be used to create a file or directory will have validation applied to it. This includes the Perforce QAC Project Directory, Multi-Configuration Name, Project Name, CMA Project Name, Unified Project Name, Upload Snapshot Name, & Upload Project Name (for the additional restriction on this, please refer to the final note below).
The following restrictions are applied to these items:
- The name must be no more than 100 characters. This reduces the chance of a breach of the 260-character limit imposed by most versions of Windows on file paths.
- The following characters are not permitted:
- < (less than)
- > (greater than)
- : (colon)
- " (double quote)
- / (forward slash)
- \ (backslash)
- | (vertical bar or pipe)
- ? (question mark)
- * (asterisk)
- ’ (single quote)
- The following names are not allowed; CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. You should also avoid these names followed immediately by an extension (for example, NUL.txt).
- The name must not end with a "." or consist of only "."s, for example ".", "..", "..." etc.
- The name must not start or end with a space.
That Upload Project Name is more restrictive. Full details are in the Dashboard support material.
