III. Issues addressed and performance improvements:

  1. New reference data file additions to the sample configuration files.
  2. Chinese name search performance improvements.
  3. Distributed Search performance improvements.
  4. Short Name scoring efficiency and memory improvements.
  5. Turkish given name variant additions.
  6. Elimination of redundant parses of names provided in Chinese script.

IV. Implementation:

Before you begin:

<GNM_ROOT> is the directory where you installed InfoSphere Global Name Management.
<ENS_ROOT> is the directory where you installed InfoSphere Global Name Management Enterprise Name Search.
<FIX_ROOT> is the root directory of the fix.
<PLATFORM> is the platform / operating system of the installation.

Procedure:

  1. Extract the gnm_6.0.0.0_ifix001_<platform>.<archive> file into a separate directory on your hard drive.

  2. Back up the following directories based on the platform on which you are installing the fix:

    3. Platform Files and Directories to Backup
    AIX, Linux <GNM_ROOT>/bin, <GNM_ROOT>/data, <GNM_ROOT>/lib, <GNM_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/bin, <GNM_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/lib, <GNM_ROOT>/samples/java
    Windows <GNM_ROOT>\bin, <GNM_ROOT>\data, <GNM_ROOT>\sdk\<PLATFORM>\bin, <GNM_ROOT>\samples\java

  3. Run <GNM_ROOT>/stopGNR.sh, or on Windows run <GNM_ROOT>/stopGNR.bat.

  4. On all platforms, copy the files from <FIX_ROOT>/data into the <GNM_ROOT>/data directory, and also <ENS_ROOT>/data if ENS is installed.

  5. On all platforms, copy the files from <FIX_ROOT>/sdk/samples/java into the <GNM_ROOT>/sdk/samples/java directory.

  6. On all platforms, copy the files from the <FIX_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/bin directory into the <GNM_ROOT>/bin and <GNM_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/bin directories, and also <ENS_ROOT>/bin if ENS is installed.

  7. On Linux and AIX, copy the files from the <FIX_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/lib directory into the <GNM_ROOT>/lib and <GNM_ROOT>/sdk/<PLATFORM>/lib directories, and also <ENS_ROOT>/lib if ENS is installed.

  8. Copy the file <FIX_ROOT>/gnm_6.0.0.1_ifix001_version.txt into the <GNM_ROOT>/version directory. If the <GNM_ROOT>/version directory does not exist, create it.

  9. Run <GNM_ROOT>/startGNR.sh, or on Windows run <GNM_ROOT>/startGNR.bat.
