Important Notice for App Developers

The Industrial Edge Backup and Restore solution has limitations regarding special characters in app names. Review this information carefully when naming your applications.

Supported Special Characters

The Industrial Edge Backup and Restore solution currently supports only the following special characters in app names:

  • / (forward slash)
  • . (period)
  • - (hyphen)
  • _ (underscore)
  • : (colon)

Technical Background

These character restrictions are based on the underlying technology used by the Industrial Edge Backup and Restore solution. While validation is not currently enforced during app creation, using unsupported characters may cause unexpected behavior or failures at runtime.

Recommendation

When creating new applications, choose your app name carefully and use only the supported special characters listed above. Avoid using any other special characters to ensure compatibility and prevent potential issues in production environments.
