EXALEAD CloudView V6R2013 SP2 is a minor CloudView release.
Major fixed bugs
Query
• The Summarizer and Highlighter operations now correctly handle nested proximity operators, and no longer cause search and preview to fail.
• Linguistic prefix handlers can now be nested.
• The query expansion config for linguistic prefix handlers now allows for multiple modules and options.
• Synonyms are now only activated when you enable them in the query expansion config of the prefix handlers, just like the other semantic modules.
Indexing
• Annotations can now be mapped to multivalued index fields.
• The XPathExtractor correctly uses the detected charset.
• The issue where indexing a multi-language corpus could lead to very low-quality Related Terms extraction has been fixed.
• Importing a single document made up of several value fields that share the same value no longer causes an indexing crash
Convert
• Excel files with multiple charsets in the same file are now completely extracted.
Fetch
• PushAPIFilters are now usable with Simple XML connectors.
Administration Console
• The "Use this field" flag for Database connector fields is now set correctly when loading the configuration.
Mashup
• In pages with several feeds sharing some facets, facets displayed multiple times in the "Standard refinements" widget. This has been fixed.
• The language detection trigger always returns the correct value.
• PDF export has been fixed.
• The "Metrics" widget no longer displays random values when there is no data in the facet.
Crawler
• A redirect loop could trigger an infinite loop and block indexing of new documents. This has been fixed.
• A website root that redirects to the same URL appended with a / cannot be indexed. This has been fixed.
Important notices
Migrations
• You can migrate a data directory from any V6 release.
• If migrating from V6R2012x
o After migration, the query reporting graphs are not available. You can either wait for the next daily computation, or use the API console to force a new run. Go to Manage > search > operations > generateStaticReport and generateStaticApplicationReport.
• If migrating from V6R2012x or V6R2012x SP1
o The Russian lemmatization resource file has been moved to an add-on. Russian lemmatization is automatically disabled when you migrate. If you need this feature, install the add-on and re-enable it.
o Facet identification in Mashup-Builder now uses an ID (myfacet) instead of a facet path (Top/MyFacet). After automatic migration, make sure all widgets still display the correct data.
o Many configuration checks have been improved. In some cases where an invalid config was previously accepted, migration might fail on the new checks. In that case, fix the reported mistake in the original configuration (you don't need to apply), then restart the migration.
o Some of the Highcharts-based Mashup widgets will fail once migrated. To fix them, you need to edit their Javascript code, and replace:
TIP: To benefit from all improvements, you may need to recreate the widget.
• When migrating, the monitoring probes on the detailed status of each index field are now disabled by default, since they tended to be too costly. If you need use these probes, re-enable them on a per-field basis:
o edit config/Reporting.xml
o in the <PerformanceMonitoringConfig> node, insert child nodes such as <MonitoredIndexField name="text"/>.
API Compatibility
• APIs are fully compatible with V6R2013.
• Compared to V6R2012x, the following changes introduced in V6R2013 now apply:
o Crawler forced metas and feedfetcher metas are no longer prefixed with meta: or ff:.
o The "MatrixFacet" has been removed and is replaced by "MultidimensionFacet" and "Hierarchical2DFacet". For details, see the CloudView Technical Reference Guide.
o The following deprecated parameters have been removed on the SearchCommandclass:
