Commands and wildcard characters

Table 1 lists with which commands and parameters you can use the following wildcard characters:
%
This character represents zero or more characters. You can use this wildcard character in patterns, for example, abc%xyz.
_
This character represents exactly one character. You can use this wildcard character in patterns, for example, abc_xyz.
*
This character represents all existing or future occurrences of an item. You cannot use this wildcard character in patterns, for example abc*, but only to represent the entire set of all possible values. If you add entities by specifying this wildcard character, you can remove them only by also specifying this character; you cannot remove them individually.

Notes:
  1. You cannot use wildcard characters with the delete and list commands when you are working with events.
  2. Avoid using the percent (%), underscore (_), and asterisk (*) characters in entity names, as these are used as wildcard characters by the system configuration service (DNI_SYSADM) and security administration service (DNI_SECADM). If you decide to use one of these characters anyway, you must precede it with two backslash characters:
    • One so that the service recognizes the special character as a literal
    • One so that the CLI recognizes the backslash that precedes the special character as a literal
    For example, to create a CT named Test_CT, issue the following command to DNI_SYSADM: 
    cre -ct Test\\_CT
  3. Avoid using the backslash (\) character in entity names, because it is used as escape character by the system configuration service (DNI_SYSADM) and security administration service (DNI_SECADM). If you decide to use the backslash character anyway, you must precede it with three backslash characters:
    • One so that the service recognizes that the backslash character is a literal
    • One in front of each of the other two backslashes so that the CLI recognizes that both of them are literals
    For example, to create a CT named CT\1, issue the following command to DNI_SYSADM: 
    cre -ct CT\\\\1
