In the text file that you create for the silent installation, remove the line that contains "Y" to accept the agreement. - If you are upgrading to release 6.0.2 of Platform Services, you must also upgrade your Deployment Template to version 3.2.1. KNOWN ISSUES (6.0.2) Documentation: - The documentation for this release has not been updated. Updated documentation may be provided in a future release if necessary. Please see the EDeN knowledge base for the most recent documentation. Forge (6.0.2) - Bug fix (BUG13769): ODBC Adapter gets data in CP1252 encoding on English Windows, resulting in incorrect encoding of special characters. This issue has been resolved for the SQL query that the adapter executes, as well as the data in each column, but not the DSN or column names. ====================================================================== Endeca Platform Services GENERAL (6.0.1) - Release Date: October 2008 - This release is not compatible with data indexed using previous releases. - The release notes may have been updated since the release date. Access the Product Downloads section of the Endeca Developer Network (EDeN) at https://eden.endeca.com for the most recent version of the release notes. - The asterisk character (*) next to an issue number indicates that it was only reported against either the 6.0 Beta or 6.0 Early Access release. INSTALLATION (6.0.1) - Refer to the Endeca Platform Services Installation Guide for Platform Services installation information. MIGRATION (6.0.1) - Refer to the Endeca Migration Guide for information specific to Platform Services migration. Forge (6.0.1) - Bug Fix (BUG13866): Reading many records into a record cache (or many records across multiple record caches in the same pipeline) caused a performance drop-off at a particular threshold when running on Linux. This issue has been fixed. - Bug Fix (BUG13642): Abnormally long sentences no longer cause the term extractor to run out of memory. - Bug Fix (BUG13565): Forge would stop responding if a Java Manipulator or Adapter threw a java.lang.Error. This issue has been fixed. - Bug Fix (BUG12521): The JDBC record adapter JVM log verbosity did not respond to the Forge --logLevel flag. This has been fixed, and setting the Forge log level will affect all Java manipulators, including the JDBC adapter. - Bug Fix (BUG12470): Previously, running term extraction could result in an out-of-memory error. Term extraction now uses a disk-backed data structure instead of an in-memory version, so that even in worst-case data scenarios no out-of-memory errors occur during this stage of the processing. - Bug Fix (BUG12042): The term extractor now recognizes if its sort process fails during execution. - Bug Fix (BUG12040): The term extractor used a temp directory for sorting that could not be changed with Forge's --tmpDir parameter. The value of --tmpDir is now respected. - Bug Fix (BUG08857, BUG12883): The Forge property mapper's default mapping of source properties to dimensions could result in inconsistent dimensions and dimension value IDs over repeated runs. This issue has been fixed. - Feature (CHG04787): Null property warnings on the JDBC adapter are now supressed and appear at the Fine level. EAC (6.0.1) - Bug Fix (BUG14022): The EAC prematurely cleaned up utility/component status in scenarios where multiple host names point to the same machine e.g. eac-build and eac-build.endeca.com. This issue has been fixed. - Feature: The EAC now has com.endeca.mdexRoot in the eac.properties file under workspace/conf. This property is used to determine the location of the MDEX Engine root directory. If not set, the EAC will start up, but will not be able to run an MDEX Engine. This property can be set during the Platform Services install or afterwords by editing the file. Control Interpreter (6.0.1) - Bug Fix (14255*): The Control Interpreter was unable to use SSL to communicate with the JCD in the 6.0 Beta or 6.0 Early Access Release on Solaris and Linux. KNOWN ISSUES (6.0.1) - BUG14269: Platform Services install intermittently fails to install all components After running the Platform Services installer the following may not appear in the installation: the workspace directory, workspace/ setup directory, or the emgr_update script. As a workaround, uninstall and then re-install Platform Services. - BUG14365: When the UNIX installer is run with the --silent option from a terminal window smaller than 80x25, the installation process will not be silent (that is, it will require user interaction). To avoid this problem, resize the display window to 80x25 or larger. - BUG14394: When installing Platform Services on Windows using silent installation, in order to install to an INSTALLDIR where Platform Services was previously installed, you must first manually rename or move the workspace and reference folders that exist from your previous installation. ====================================================================== GENERAL (6.0.0) Early Access Release - Release Date: May 2008 - This release is not compatible with data indexed using previous releases. KNOWN ISSUES (6.0.0 EA) - BUG12336: The enecerts utility fails with error message "Bad file descriptor." Control Interpreter (6.0.0 EA) - Bug Fix (BUG13612*): Control Interpreter and Perl unable to find Crypt::SSLeay By default the Control Interpreter communicates with the JCD using SSL (for the sample wine application). However, the https:// query to the JCD fails in the EA release for the sample wine application. As a workaround, turn off SSL in both the JCD config file (jcd.conf) and the Control Interpreter script (for example, remote_index.script). EAC (6.0.0 EA) - Bug Fix (BUG13614*): EAC not updated with new Dgraph command line arguments The EAC has not yet been updated to be aware of new Dgraph command line arguments, such as --xquery_port. To specify these new arguments to the EAC, use the element in the EAC definition files. For information on the new arguments, see the Web Services and XQuery Developer's Guide. Documentation (6.0.0 EA) - BUG13828: The Installation Guide provided a misleading sample http startup script in the section "Starting the Endeca HTTP service from inittab." This sample script has been updated. ====================================================================== GENERAL (6.0.0 Beta) - Release Date: March 2008 - This release is not compatible with data indexed using previous releases. Forge (6.0.0 Beta) - Bug Fix (BUG12505): Fixed a problem in the Web crawler where sending an empty cookie string would cause some Web servers to stop responding. - Bug Fix (BUG12777): The Document Conversion Module now properly handles global options (--SCCOPT_FALLBACKFORMAT, --SCCOPT_FIFLAGS, and --SCCOPT_TEMPDIR). EAC (6.0.0 Beta) - Bug Fix (BUG11642, BUG11955): Eaccmd now checks for duplicate arguments and unknown arguments whenever possible. - Bug Fix (CHG12288, CHG12289): Added makeDirectory() and deleteFiles() facilities to EAC. - Bug Fix (BUG13479): On Windows, the EAC used to leak thread handles. Any time a new process was created via the EOSI threading library, a thread handle was leaked. This issue has been fixed. Control Interpreter (6.0.0 Beta) - Bug Fix: When creating a ShellTask in the Control Interpreter on Windows, two environment variables necessary for proper execution (COMSPEC and SYSTEMROOT) are now inherited from the JCD's environment unless they are specifically overridden in an environment brick. Java API (6.0.0 Beta) - Bug Fix (BUG06358): The Java API configured with SSL now works with the IBM JDK. KNOWN ISSUES (6.0.0 Beta) The Control Interpreter/Perl is unable to use SSL to communicate with the JCD By default the Control Interpreter communicates with the JCD using SSL (for the sample wine application). However, the https:// query to the JCD fails in the Beta release for the sampe wine application. As a workaround, turn off SSL in both the JCD config file (e.g. jcd.conf) and the control interpreter script (e.g. remote_index.script).
