Define the List of Forbidden Characters
Forbidden characters are ` ~ ! & # . A complete list of default forbidden characters is below. This list may be customized.
JT translators (script and Dispatcher Services translators) replace specific forbidden characters with the underscore replacement character; _. The Integration must be aware of these forbidden characters in order to retrieve the correct filenames.
HagelinPinWheel-1-2-3.CATPart contains the forbidden character -. This forbidden character is replaced with _ during JT translation and results in HagelinPinWheel_1_2_3.jt JT file.
JT translation fails when the translator encounters a character not defined in the BadChars list.
Customize the list of forbidden characters, as needed.
The default list of forbidden characters is:
` ~ ! & #
$ % ^ & *
( ) - +
= " \ '
: ; , . /
< > ? | [
] <space> { } ±
Refer to the following table to determine the forbidden characters list location.
| Translation Method | List Location | Key |
|---|---|---|
| .catia2jt | Cat2tciccommon.jar located in %TC_POTAL_ROOT%\plugins. Edit the resulting com/ebsolutions/catiman/catiman.properties | jt.BadChars |
| .catiav5tojtdirect | Cat2DSTransJT.jar located on the Teamcenter Dispatcher Server machine. Edit the resulting com/ebsolutions/cat2dstransjt/cat2dstransjt.properties | |
| .catiav4tojtdirect | Cat2DSTransJT.jar located on the Teamcenter Dispatcher Server machine. Edit the resulting com/ebsolutions/cat2dstransjt/cat2dstransjt.properties |
Perform the following steps to customize the forbidden characters list.
1. Un-jar the target .jar file.
2. Open the properties file then modify the forbidden characters list file managed by the translator (in Unicode).
3. Re-jar the directory.
