White spaces and brackets on file paths

When you run Registry Services command-line interfaces or configure JVM arguments, ensure that the file path is specified according to the operating system in use.

File paths that contain white spaces or special characters, such as brackets, might cause errors, depending on the operating system you use in your environment. To avoid this issue, use escape characters.

On Linux systems, use back slashes and quotation marks. For example, to specify this properties file location /tmp/registry services(1)/etc/CLI.properties, run the CLI with one of these escape characters:

"/tmp/registry services(1)/bin/frs.sh" install -type container 
-properties  "/tmp/registry services(1)/etc/CLI.properties"

or

/tmp/registry\ services\(1\)/bin/frs.sh install -type container 
-properties  /tmp/registry\ services\(1\)/etc/CLI.properties

On Windows systems, use quotation marks. For example, to specify this properties file location C:\Program Files\registry services(1)\etc\CLI.properties, run the CLI with this escape character:

"C:\Program Files\registry services(1)\bin\frs.bat" install -type container 
-properties "C:\Program Files\registry services(1)\etc\CLI.properties"
