2022 Q4.1 Minor Release Notes

Important Notice – From Q1.0 2023 we will no longer be delivering the BatchUI tool that is optionally delivered when you run the API installer.

The setup wizard for the Local API can be obtained from our SFTP server. Please contact your account manager to retrieve the SFTP information. If you do not know who your account manager is, please contact the support team at support@loqate.com.

Note: If you are using command line to connect to the SFTP server, you will need to use ‘sftp user@site’ format instead of just ‘sftp site’.

The 2022Q4.1 Minor release makes improvements to the verification process and the quality of the results. Please remember to update the reference data. The improvements are tied to the data in the Global Knowledge Repository and the Local API.

When updating the data, it is recommended to use a new data folder each time in order to ensure the latest dataset is installed properly.

If you need any assistance with the upgrade of the Local API or the data update process, please contact GBG Loqate Support. The md5checksum can be used to help ensure the data packs have been fully downloaded.
