Valid Computer, Directory, and User Names
Computer, directory, and user names must be valid for the operating system that Actian X is being installed on and also adhere to the following restrictions.
Computer names
Actian X supports computer names that contain the following ASCII characters only: alphanumeric and hyphen (-). Computer names must not start with a hyphen.
Directory path
A valid Actian X directory path has slightly different syntax on Linux and Windows.
On both Linux and Windows, a directory name can contain ASCII letters (that is, a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), and the following symbols: hyphen (-), underscore (_) and full stop (.).
Note: On Windows a directory name can also contain the following symbols: space and tilde (~).
Linux: Absolute directory paths must start with a forward slash (/) and continue with a relative directory path. A relative directory path contains a number of directory names separated by /, as in the following example:
/usr/local/ingresII 
Windows: Absolute directory paths must start with a drive specification (a drive letter immediately followed by a colon), a backward slash (\), and then a relative directory path, as in the following example:
C:\Program Files\Ingres\IngresII 
Note: On Linux, uppercase letters are distinct from lowercase ones (for example, a is not the same as A). On Windows, uppercase letters are not distinct from lowercase ones (for example, a is the same as A). In general, we recommend that path names not be distinguished by case.
User names
Actian X supports user names that contain the following ASCII characters only: alphanumeric, at (@), pound (#), dollar ($), underscore (_), hyphen (-), period (.). Administrative user names must begin with an alphanumeric character (unless the name is delimited) and cannot contain a blank character. Passwords must not exceed 20 characters.
