Instructions for IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition, Version 8.3 Hot Fix 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IBM(R) OmniFind(TM) Enterprise Edition, Version 8.3 Hot Fix 26 includes an installation program to upgrade version 8.3, including any previously installed hot fixes, to the latest hot fix level. Hot Fix 26 addresses the following APARs: ----------------------------------------- IC53015 A stop of the parserdriver produced a core file. The code was changed to not deallocate objects that might still be in use by the main thread during a stop operation of the parser. IC53077 Occasional socket failures occur between parserservice and parserdriver sessions. The code was changed to let the parserdriver connect sockets to the parserservice ports only after these ports are in accept() mode. IC53157 The document language of several Danish documents is not properly determined by the parser. The language identification dictionary provided by the LanguageWare was updated. IC53177 The index build fails to complete. The code was changed to avoid possible memory overwrites that caused the first document in the store to get a corrupted element. IC53239 Query response times reported in the administration console are incorrect. The code was changed to return a correct response time. IC53511 Improper HTML tag replacement by the parser. You can implement new rules by setting the following parameter in the ES_NODE_ROOT/master_config/.parserdriver/collection.properties file: trevi.tokenizer.newHtmlTagReplacement=true With this parameter, the replacement rules for these HTML tags will be changed as follows: Tag name Replacement value -------- ----------------- dfn EMPTY div NEW_LINE q BLANK span EMPTY If the parameter trevi.tokenizer.newHtmlTagReplacement is not available in the configuration file or if it is set to a value other than true, the standard replacement rules are used.
