Object Naming Problem

One of our customers have had problem naming objects, in this case user objects, that have similar user names. Only the letter v and w differs.
The problem is that if you create a user with the name abcv you can't create a user named abcw. After alot of investigation from Business Objects technicians the problem was isolated to the regional and language settings in the server OS. We had Swedish settings when we installed BusinessObjects Enterprise which caused this problem. The settings needed to be English during installation for some reason. Even if we changed settings later it didn't work. The server regional and language settings are stored in the repository database in some way.

The solution for this problem was:

1. Change the server OS regional and language options to English.
2. Create a new repository database.
3. Stop the CMS.
4. Copy all the data from the old repository to the new one.
5. Change the CMS datasource to the new database.
6. Start the CMS.
7. Problem gone!
