Should we fix for 2.1 or 2.2 version? Could you specify the Target version? Thanks.

Description: The MEM upgrade software does not escape special characters such as the pipe symbol in the username or password before passing then to other commands. This results in the error such as: Error running /opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor/mysql/bin/mysql_upgrade -uservice_manager -pPASSWORD_WITH_A_PIPE_HERE -P13306 -h127.0.0.1 : /bin/sh: XXX: not found w: bad flag -P13306 How to repeat: Set password or username to contain special characters, particularly the pipe symbol ('|') and try the upgrade. Suggested fix: Escape the characters before running the commands.
