On a recent PBCS project, I happened to run into an issue when using EPM Automate available with PBCS version 16.01.49. My EPM Automate batch failed, returning an’ EPMAT-9: Invalid credentials’ error. The same credentials worked fine when logging in PBCS Workspace. After a few iterations playing around with passwords with special characters, I found out that EPM Automate fails when the password contains ‘^’ or ‘!’ special character. It works fine with other special characters.
Further, if you use two ‘^^’ in the password, EPM Automate utility fails returning ‘EPMAT-11:Service Unavailable Error’
