REMOVE_RESTRICTED_CHARACTERS

Description:

This parameter is used to remove restricted characters from imported data when using the WFM interface framework. Typically data is imported into WFM from another system by using a text file in comma separated value, CSV, format. To remove the restricted characters, you must also set the system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS/INPUT_VALIDATION parameter to TRUE. As part of the import process in job scheduler, WFM will remove these characters from the imported data for security reasons: ()<>\';"

Double quotes can be used for any field (unless otherwise specified) to pass in a comma without using a new column. For example, "Johnson, Jeff" for a field UDF will only use one column in the database.

If you use this parameter to remove restricted characters from imported data and subsequently export the same data from WFM to another system, the exported data will not contain the restricted characters that were removed during the import to WFM.
