Escaping character "&" in landscape xml file

[bergtho]

Hello,

when I use the "&" character in the landscape XML file with LandscapeFileOnServer it will show up correctly.
I use & for escaping the character.
But if I use the same with CoreLandscapeFileOnServer the character will not shown up?!
Example:
<Workspace uuid="ca27e6ac-cc61-4619-ac04-16ca4d89ff6d" name="Max & Mustermann" expanded="1" hidden="0" description="M&M - SAP Systems">

I use SAP GUI for Windows 7.60 Patch 1 with caching Server config files.

Thank you for any input!

Regards,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I have only limited experience with Landscape XML files, but as you haven't recieved any answers yet I thought at least I give you an idea 🙂

Have you tried to replace the & char with either & amp; or & #038; (please delete the space after the & - I had to add it here, otherwise it was rendered as... &)?

Hello Bartosz,

So in my XML file I already use "&" and this is also the correct usage (XML standards). I also tried your idea with #038; --> not solution.
But SAP GUI will not show the character when I use the central Server configuration via "CoreLandscapeFileOnServer".
It's not a big problem but we have a &-charachter in our company-name and without it will look ugly 😉

Best regards,
Thomas
