Special Characters like !,@,#,& in Bucket Sets not supported

Its been quite sometime that I had been working on Oracle Business Rules. I noticed that when configuring aliases in the project with the use of bucket sets, few of the characters were not supported in the bucket set. When these characters were used in bucket sets, and when choosing the alias in decision table actions, the alias was not available, but the value of that alias was only available. I have shown the issue below.

However, this should does not stop one from using these characters. The alias may not be available in the decision table actions, but the decision table works alright. Also, this issue is not spotted when we use the bucket set in conditions and we can choose the alias in conditions. So you can go ahead and use it, compromising on the fact that, the alias would not be available in the decision table.

Bucket Set defined:
 

Bucket Set used in Decision Table Actions:

Bucket Set used in Decision Table Conditions:

Note: I had raised an Oracle SR and what is stated above was confirmed in the SR. Have pasted the SR update below:

In a decision table you can use either bucket alias or bucket name . If your alias contains special chars then you must use the bucket name . OR Set the bucket alias to contain only letters and number and there will be no problems at all . This is not yet in any doc - is just the update to the bug that will be merged to official documentation.


Peace !
