New Product Features

Configuration and Administration GUI

• Allows configuration check for projects and runtime of a service instance. For that use the menu item „Execute -> Validate configuration file…“ on project or runtime view. Furthermore if starting a project failed, then the project configuration is automatically checked and the check results are shown in a popUp window.
• The synonymFile attribute „allowEmptyResults“ was added to synonym file configuration.
• Adds the possibility to configure additional transliteration ids. Use the „Project settings“ context menu in the project view, to add a new transliteration node, which references an external file containing the transliteration id and its corresponding rules in . To add more or remove transliterations, use the context menu on the „Transliteration“.
• A new node „Summary“ is added to the project view to configure a summary file for a batch project. To add it use the context menu on „Process“ and to remove it use the context menu of the corresponding node.
• New sub menu „Show ReleasNotes“ for menu item „Help“ to open ReleaseNotes.html in a new browser tab
• The cluster settings attributes „clusterNodeName“ and „clock“ are added to runtime settings.
• A new tree node was added to service runtime configuration to activate the bulk request functionality. To add use the context menu on „Runtime settings“. To remove use context menu on the new „Bulk requests“ node.

Client GUI

• New sub menu „Show ReleasNotes“ for menu item „Help“ to open ReleaseNotes.html in a new browser tab

Batch

• New attribute „largeGroups“ was added to the matchMethod-element. Setting this attribute maximizes the size of the resulting SELF-groups.

Service

• The administration command „check configfile“ has two new parameters. „“ which checks runtime only and „“ which checks the whole configuration file.
• Commandline tool matchInspectPagingDatabase.bat/sh uses data packets of variable size between 20KB and 8MB which realistically corresponds to packet sizes in running Match Service.
• Initial load now checks whether backlog data exists. If so, then initial load normally fails. The behavior can be adjusted by new command line options -delete-backlog and -keep-backlog.
• In security configuration, wild card operations (delete or getByKey) can be restricted by adding a constraint „prohibit.wildcard“ to rights „match.delete“ and „match.getbykey“
• A new Admin Command „load project [-delete] [-delete-backlog | -keep-backlog]“ allows executing initial load while service is running. The affected project must be stopped before the command is executed.

General

• Configuration checker warnings (WARNING) that do not affect the result of a process are now categorized as INFO and will not be printed on console during product start
• The fuzzy search capability of Tolerant Match can be utilized for anonymized data:
  • The data is to be anonymized using the provided matchAnonymizer tool.
  • In order for Tolerant Match to recognize the input as anonymized, a new field of type BITARRAY was added.

Security

Performance

• Initial loader has been optimized and in most use cases now requires much less main memory.
