FIX: Command Line Action Strips the Backslash (\) Character out of Properties
This article was previously published under Q304601
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
When an action in Health Monitor outputs the text of a property that contains the backslash character (\), such as the file path property of an Application Center replication event, the "\" is stripped from the property. This can be seen through the use of the text log, event log, script, and command line actions.
CAUSE
This is caused by a parsing problem in the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) action consumers.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, upgrade to Application Center 2000 Service Pack (SP) 1. For additional information, click the article number below

MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Create a text log action and add
%EmbeddedStatusEvent.EmbeddedCollectedInstance.Path%
to the text to log box. - Create a synchronized WMI event query data collector for an event that you can control, for example, file replicated (Event 5077):
Namespace: ROOT\MicrosoftApplicationCenter
Class: MicrosoftAC_Replication_Session_DriverEvents_UpdateListApply_FileSet_Event
- Add the action that you created in step 1 to the data collector that you created in step 2.
- Change or create a new file in a replicated directory on the cluster controller and synchronize the cluster.
- Check the log file that your action created on a member server and observe that the file path is missing all "\" characters.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Application Center 2000 Standard Edition
