Unusual SmartView member creation causes base desynchronisation

Summary:

Member naming restriction doesn't apply when creating dimension member via SmartView with a "Non-Breaking Space" and causes dimension desynchronisation between Planning and Essbase.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

When creating members, there a some naming restrictions to respect with some characters that are not usable. For some other characters, (notably spaces and blank characters), there is a security that deletes them from the beginning or end of member names at the creation, whether this creation is done via the web interface or via SmartView.

Seemingly, this security is not applied to one specific special character. When trying to create the member "Test " from the web application, the blank space at the end is automatically deleted and the member "Test" is created. Whoever, when doing the same thing using SmartView, the member "Test " will be created and will cause database desynchronization for itself and all members that were created with it in the same retrieve.

Howdy, Stranger!
