  • Document names ended with the character "." were valid in 6.1 and are producing errors in the import process.

Environment

  • Liferay Portal 6.2, DXP 7.0, DXP 7.1, DXP 7.2, DXP 7.3

Resolution

  • This issue could be related to validating the last character passed to the file name. This validation was added in the 6.2 version.
  • Since 6.2, the property dl.char.last.blacklist controls the characters allowed in the last position of file names.
  • By default, this property has the value shown below: 
    dl.char.last.blacklist=\\u0020,.
  • As you can see, the character "." is not allowed by default. If there are file names ended with this character, you should delete the character "." from the property.
