PDR and data type changes

Changes to PDR properties and the mdex:time data type may affect the ingest of your attribute schema and source data.

PDR properties

The following two changes affect the creation of a PDR (Property Description Record) for standard attributes:
  • The default value for the mdex-property_IsSingleAssign property is now true. In version 7.4.x, the default was false.
  • The new mdex-property_Language property sets the language for the standard attribute. For details, see Language property for PDRs.

mdex:time time zone requirement

The mdex:time data type now requires a time zone. In version 7.4.x, a time zone was not allowed as part of the time representation. In 7.5.x, a time zone is required for both time formats: either a universal (UTC) time or as a local time plus a UTC time zone offset. For details on the mdex:time formats, see the Oracle Endeca Server Data Loading Guide.
