Symptoms
VoyenceControl cannot run seedAD command against networks with accented characters in their names Receive the following error when VoyenceControl tries to run seedAD command against networks with accented characters in their names: Error:generalExceptions.networkNotFound
Cause
The VoyenceControl bulk import tool does not properly read accented characters (see Note statement).
Resolution
To work around this issue, you can do either of the following: Change the network name in the application by replacing/removing accented characters with normal characters, and change back after running the seedAD command. If you do not want to change the network name, you can do the following at the bulk import command line interface: Surround the network name with quotes. Replace accented characters with octal escape sequences in the seedAD command syntax as in the following "before" and "after" example: Before (with accent character) cmd> seedAD Qu©bec myDeviceServer ping-sweep hosts "global:admin-admin,global:admin-priv" After (with octal escape sequence) cmd> seedAD "Qu\351bec" myDeviceServer ping-sweep hosts "global:admin-admin,global:admin-priv"
Related Information
Accented characters are letters with a diacritic, including the acute accent, grave accent, circumflex accent, tilde and umlaut to name a few.There are many resources available on the web with tables of octal escape sequences for accented characters.
