JR62776: THE SYNCGROUPMEMBERSHIPFORGROUPS.SH COMMAND CAN'T HANDLE GROUP NAMES CONTAINING SPACES

workflow.20002.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you use the groupMembershipUpdate.sh, syncExistingUsers.sh,
  or usersSync.sh script on Linux, you can't pass user names or
  group names arguments when they contain spaces. For
  syncGroupMembershipForGroups.sh, a workaround is possible but
  wasn't documented.

Problem conclusion

• These commands already have the ability to interpret a !x!x
  sequence to represent blanks. For example, you can pass "A!x!xb"
   instead of "A b". If your shell requires escapes, use \!x\!x as
   blank replacement. For example, in Linux you would pass
  "A\!x\!xb" instead of "A b". With this fix installed, this
  ability is now documented in the commands, which you can see by
  using the -help parameter.
  

Temporary fix
