Hi Krishna,
Where did you get the message?
In my test, when I adding a new connection profile, it requires me to indicate the connection profile name at the beginning, and if I input an invalid connection profile name, for example, "_myProfile", the UI shows me the message "
Profile name must start with alphanumeric characters ..." which tell me the profile name I just input is not valid, so I change the profile name to "myProfile" and the message disappears. I think the message is correct here, nothing misleading me. So I am curious whether you encounter this message at another place.

Hi Tao,
Agree, there is no issue with the profile name I was trying. I worked with IBM support and end up the issue is with the privileges of the connection profile id. The exception we got here is totally misleading hence requested IBM to fix it.

Hello Krishna,
What's the connection profile name you were trying to add and then got the message "Profile name must start with alphanumeric characters ..."?
TESTDEV1, 1TESTDEV, and TEST_Cluster_1 are valid connection profile names,the DMC wouldn't prevent you from creating the connection profile with these profile names.
And the connection profile name is not allowed to be modified after it's created.
Thansk.

DMC throws below exception while adding connection profile, is there anything we are doing incorrectly?
"Profile name must start with alphanumeric characters and can only contain alphanumeric characters, underscore(_), hyphen(-) and address sign(@). The maximum length of profile name is 255 characters."
Some naming options we tried for connection profile
TESTDEV1
1TESTDEV
TEST_Cluster_1
Also, there is no direct way we could see to edit the connection profile to change the values and save it rather we had to completely delete it and re-add, which looks weird.
