Encode Special Char in LSCS Query

Sathya1988

Hi,

I Have my sample LSCS Query

http://host Smiley Tongue ort/lscs/v1/document$*?q=((TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type:Category/Datatype) AND (TeamSite/Metadata/Title:="Welcome to the new Distributed 20% Image Capture & Exchange (DICE) in"))

I am not able to propagate results for above query , The Error I am able to see is "Invalid query syntax: No matching quotes".

My actual query that needs to implement,

http://host Smiley Tongue ort/lscs/v1/document$*?q=((TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type:Category/Datatype) AND (TeamSite/Metadata/SharedGroup:=APP_GROUP1,APP_GROUP_A&B))

Is giving an error "Invalid query syntax: Parentheses are mismatched"

I have also tried with,

http://host Smiley Tongue ort/lscs/v1/document$*?q=((TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type:Category/Datatype) AND (TeamSite/Metadata/SharedGroup:="APP_GROUP1","APP_GROUP_A&B"))

but getting same error.

I believe its because of some special characters (&[which will treat as parameters],%) attached with metadata value in the query.

I have one more restriction that Example APP_GROUP1, APP_GROUP_A&B in the above example; I am getting it from LDAP. So that we cannot handle this with perl(replacing, encoding etc) .

Please suggest me any approach handle to encode the query for the special characters.

Thanks In Advance.

Instead of GROUPA&B, try GROUPA%26B
