Known Issues

• IWI-222: Certain characters prevent XML validation, causing upload to fail

XML requires that the following characters are replaced when used as field values in an XML:

& (Ampersand): &

< (Left angle bracket): <

> (Right angle bracket): >

" (Quotation mark): "

' (Apostrophe): &apos;

Example: <KT:Title>&ExampleTitle</KT:Title> should be <KT:Title>&ExampleTitle</KT:Title>).

• IWI-293: Folder upload fails when using Move instead of Copy to place folders into the 'watchfolder'.

Copying the folder structure to the watchfolder (using Ctrl-C or right click menu Copy option) allows successful upload. Moving the folder structure to the watchfolder (using Ctrl-X or the right click Cut option) causes upload to fail.

• IWI-292: Empty folders remain in the folder structure in the 'watchfolder' and are not added to KnowledgeTree

This issue occurs only when the empty folder is a leaf folder. The workaround for uploading empty folders is to add a dummy file titled "__ktdummy.txt" to the empty leaf folder. The empty folder is uploaded, but not the dummy file. Note: For Advanced mode, an XML must be created for the dummy txt file.
