Product Catalog Date Import DTS Task Restrictions

If you are importing catalog data into the Data Warehouse, do not create catalog properties that contain special characters. Special characters cause the product catalog data import DTS task to fail. For example, catalog properties should not include the following characters: '!', '"', '%', '&', '(', ')', '*', '+', ',', '-', '.', '/', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?', '\\', ']', '^', '`', '{', '|', '}', '~'. They should not contain any control characters, for example, 0x00 /* NULL */, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07 /* , CONTROL-G <BEL> */, 0x08 /* CONTROL-H <BS> */, 0x09 /* CONTROL-I <HT> */, 0x0a /* CONTROL-J <LF> */, 0x0b /* CONTROL-K <VT> */, x0c /* CONTROL-J <FF> */, 0x0d /* CONTROL-M <PRS_CR> */, 0x0e /* , CONTROL-N <SO> */, 0x0f /* CONTROL-O <SI> */, 1x10, 0x11, 0x12, and so on.
