About IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight
IBM
InfoSphere Identity Insight helps organizations solve business problems
related to recognizing the true identity of someone or something ("who
is who") and determining the potential value or danger of relationships
("who knows whom") among customers, employees, vendors, and other
external forces. IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight provides immediate
and actionable information to help prevent threat, fraud, abuse, and
collusion in all industries.
IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight Version
8.0 fix pack 1 contents
This fix pack includes product maintenance
and documentation updates. In addition, it provides a new option for
improved address data standardization.
Note: This fix pack and
included documentation is provided in English. If you install the
IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight version 8.0 fix pack 1, you will only
see the fix pack function and related information updates in the information
center when English is selected in your browser settings.
QS-AVI address
cleansing with IBM InfoSphere QualityStage and AddressDoctor Address
cleansing – sometimes also referred to as address “hygiene” or “standardization”
– is an Identity Insight pipeline process that allows you to correct
and standardize address information for optimal entity resolution
processing. This feature enables the use of an industry standard address
data standardization solution that includes AddressDoctor®, IBM InfoSphere
Information Server, IBM InfoSphereDataStage®, and IBM InfoSphere WebSphere
QualityStage. Enabling support of an address standardization module
provided by AddressDoctor eliminates the dependencies and limitations
associated with supporting versions of the Worldwide Address Verification
and Enhancement System (WAVES). The AddressDoctor address standardization
module can be used for Identity Insight entity resolution by using
DataStage and the QualityStage Address Verification interface (QS-AVI).
IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight
Version 8.0 fix pack 1 maintenance items
This fix pack includes
maintenance item fixes and corrections.
Note: If you are upgrading
from an older IBM Relationship Resolution installation that uses IBM
Entity Analytic Solutions Name Manager, please look at the IBM Entity
Analytic Solutions Name Manager configuration topics in the information
center for updates.
Pipeline maintenance items
- 52311 - UMF Builder DATE and DATETIME problem
- UMF Builder Keywords DATE and DATETIME functionality was transposed.
UMF_OUTPUT_RULE table has been corrected. If you have custom output
messages, verify that your results have not been affected.
- 61876 - ADDR preparsed and unparsed error
- Sending both a preparsed street address and unparsed street address
(populating ADDR1 and Street Num in the XML) caused the ADDR Hash
to Double Up. The system now takes the preparsed street name.
- 63114 - Degrees of separation discrepancies
- The strength of an alert running with a threshold of more than
three degrees of separation was affected by a longer and stronger
path. Data source name (DSN) enabled caused discrepancies in the SEP_CONFLICT
table.
- 64561 - Pipeline not failing with critical G1 errors at startup
- Pipeline did not fail startup on critical G1 errors. G1 errors
are now properly checked at startup and the pipeline is shut down
if there are critical errors.
- 64563 - UMF_MERGE conflict detection
- UMF_MERGE did not perform conflict detection for a merged entity.
- 65033 - Pipeline crashing with deadlocks
- Pipeline crashed after deadlock when disclosed relations are embedded
in a message like UMF_ENTITY. Pipeline now rolls back and attempts
to retry.
- 65221 - Auditing Find_by users
- There was no way to "audit" a particular user executing the "Find
by Attribute" query from Visualizer. The Find by Attribute search
can now log a tag that can be used to set up an audit. Contact IBM
Support or your IBM Services representative for more information.
- 65223 - Alert rule detail lost when using Complex Event Processing
- CEP engine provides alert rules detail that was lost and not displayable
in Visualizer. Fix pack adds a mechanism to get that detail. When
available you can double-click the event alert screen to get detail.
(See APAR # PJ36708)
- 66695 - GEM error pipeline shutdown related to Complex Event Processing
- GEM Error caused pipeline to shutdown when no event is sent to
CEP. Error is now detected and pipeline is not shut down.
- 68205 - DQM rule 660 errors with Latin1 characters
- DQM rule 660 sent incorrect information about length of messages
in its requests when the message body contained Latin1 characters.
Characters versus bytes length calculation issue corrected
- 01447 - Event Alert Detail report problem
- Unable to open Event Alert Detail reports when the event is not
associated with a name.
- 69655 - Pipeline fails with Unhandled Server error ORA-947
- Load failed with ORA-947 error and is a bulk inserts issue. The
pipeline fails with a "CRIT - Unhandled Server error ORA-947 not enough
values" message. This error was specific to implementations using
an Oracle database and occurred when not enough columns were present
in the insert data.
- 68842 - Pipeline does not work with MQ client
- Pipeline now utilizes IBM WebSphere® MQ Client libraries, if IBM
WebSphere® MQ Server libraries are not present.
- 68500 - CEP - Array of Arrays
- CEP rule-output now generates array-of-arrays output that can
be parsed by the pipeline.
- 70874 - Attributes with Match Level other than 1 can trigger Unresolve
- Attributes with a match level of 0, 2, or 3 triggered an unresolve
cycle. This action is now correctly limited to attributes with a match
level of 1.
Visualizer maintenance items
- 64063 - Alert count for "Name and Unique Number" resolution rule
discrepancy
- Discrepancies occurred in the alert count for the "Name and Unique
Number" resolution rule when using IBM DB2 version 8.
- 59650 - Visualizer - Attribute Alert Generator does not work when
case# or comment has a '
- Case# or Comment may now contain single-quote-marks.
- 60426 - Generation of conflicts during Unresolve/Reresolve
- In some situations, unresolve/reresolve failed to generate a new
alert.
- 65370 - "Find by Entity" window/interface inconsistency
- "Find by entity" window issues. Fixed minor usability issue related
to screen content being in sync.
- 52409 - "Find by" default problem
- "Find by" window went back to default rather than "remembering"
the last type selected/used. The Search window now correctly brings
up the "Find by" type last used.
- 61643 - Maximum number of days limited by 2-digit field
- Search default cap was limited to 99 and should be larger. Maximum
number of days that you can set in the default history window in the
Visualizer has been expanded from a two-character field to a three-character
field. The maximum is now 999.
- 63663 - Event details not showing number of decimal places consistently
- Event details did not consistently show same number of decimal
places. Event alert detail now displaying two decimal places consistently.
- 63750 - Data Source Name alert display problem
- Problem with viewing DSN alerts detail in the Visualizer. Data
is stored in U.S. notation (for example, 52.7). Data from countries
that use a comma instead of a decimal point caused problems when trying
to display DSN alerts. Local data that uses a comma instead of a decimal
point will now display correctly.
- 65119 - Graphing problems with "Show Related Entities"
- Graph drew improperly when using "Show Related Entities" if characteristics
were part of the Event Report details.
- 65434 - Alert Summary window update issue
- In the Alert Summary, the combo box "Display alerts by type" did
not get updated with the appropriate alert type or would get out of
sync. The display now correctly shows all alert types.
- 66745 - Entity Resume display problems
- Relationships on Resume did not display if there was no name for
the related entity. Enables linkage to entities without a name.
- 18452 - French addresses with added dash issue
- Visualizer was adding a dash that created display problems. This
has been corrected.
- 00278 - Update view button consistency
- In the Visualizer the Update View button is not disabled when
the Entity Events tab is first displayed (by clicking the Show Events
button on the Entity Resume tab).
Miscellaneous maintenance items
- Additional Complex Event Management information
- Additional information about how to integrate and use the Complex
Event Management component is included in this fix pack update. See Configuring the Event Manager CEP module.
