Environment(s)...

ITSM 7 Out of the Box (all apps)
Windowz 2003
SQL 2005
JRE 5
IIS 6
ServletExec (on sandbox) and Tomcat (on Dev/Test/Prod)

Scenario:

There are many views in ITSM 7 which have the slash - / - character in
them. These work just fine in WUT, but on WEB they can fail.

Here is the catch, they work FINE with IIS + ServeltExec, but FAIL with
IIS + TOMCAT... 

It seems the IIS + TOMCAT configuration takes the %3A (Ascii for /) and
reconvert it back into the / and well, that just gets the directory
name(s) all wacked out and poof 404 error page not found :-(

BMC Response>>
We have seen this issue recently with other customers. The simple
workaround is to change the view name and remove the / from it and all
the associated workflow. I am searching for the Defect regarding this
issue and if I am unable to locate it, I'll create a new defect and
enter your well detailed steps.

They have created a NEW BUG ID: SW00262100

SO, if you have IIS6 + TOMCAT you can reference the above # and bump the
customer reference count up :-) so maybe it hits some ITSM 7 patch by
the time we go to production... yah' right I will not hold my breath :-(

<SOAPBOX>
Same ole' thread of "who is testing this product" BMC or their
consumers?

Same ole' thread about "known development standards and things NOT to
do", however the admin tool allows you to do.

Same ole' thread about "create your own fix" (and please let us have it
:-) )...

Yes, we know the work around, we are not "stupid" but if this is the
answer, then include the Workflow Analysis Tool FREE with your ADMIN
TOOL! Without "extra tools", how should one tell "this workflow is used"
(Sure run the sync search database update) but that will not tell you
what active links open up forms. Yah sure, go directly to SQL and..
.and..

HTH as an FYI
