Hi Team,

I am doing CICD Setup on PEGA 86 platform, all configurations are done properly but during pipeline diagnose tool check . The Connection to Repository folder from Quality Analysis system is failing. Please note that Development and QA systems uses the same repository. Dev system is able to connect to Repository but same repository QA is not able to connect.

To make sure there is no difference in Repository rule configuration, I created the product file of Repository rule from Dev and install the same in QA system. Then also the test connection in QA system is failing. 

Another strange issue is that when I tried to create a repository rule in QA system from the scratch that also failing with error - An unexpected condition was encountered. Same error is reported if I try to modify the repository rule which I i deployed from Dev System.

I captured the log while doing the test connectivity from QA, and below error is reported in caused by clause of the error. Detail error snapshot is attached with this post for your reference. 

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal characters detected in the path "DevOpsAWSRepositor://". You may not use the following characters: [", ?, *, <, >, |, :]  at com.pega.pegarules.priv.storage.StorageUtils.normalizeRelativePath(StorageUtils.java:267) ~[prpublic.jar:?]  at com.pega.pegarules.priv.storage.StorageUtils.normalizeRelativePath(StorageUtils.java:217) ~[prpublic.jar:?]  at com.pega.pegarules.storage.FileStorageManager.getFile(FileStorageManager.java:772) ~[prprivcommon.jar:?]  at com.pega.platform.integrationengine.repository.internal.RepositoryManagerImpl.getFileReference(RepositoryManagerImpl.java:665) ~[integration-engine.jar:?]  ... 105 more 

Please note the statement in bold, it says some unwanted characters are are used but in my repository rule no where neither in bucket name or root path any special character is used. 

Any clue on this issue would be a great help. thanks in advance.
