  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * In batch asset update mode, ram rich client could not find   *
  * the asset whose GUID contains (). And the information from   *
  * IC about asset guid formation spec seems confusing.          *

  * If one submit asset via Java API or CLI, asset's guid can be *
  * specified. We need to confirm what characters are supported  *
  * and what are forbidden.                                      *
