What’s new in version 1.0.1?

The Telecommunications Event Data Analytics toolkit version 1.0.1 release provides several new features. The highlights of the new release are:

  • Benefit from the improved documentation for the application framework and its configuration and customization.
  • Benefit from the improvements of the CSVParse operator.
  • Be capable to ASN.1-encode data with the new ASN1Encode operator.
  • Customize the context housekeeping of your ITE application now.

The following defects are resolved with Telecommunications Event Data Analytics toolkit version 1.0.1:

  • Operators
    • The CSVParse operator now ignores leading zeros while converting a value into a numeric value.
  • Application Framework
    • The customizable file name sort now works as expected.
    • The Lookup Manager application does not allow automatic restarts of Processing Elements anymore, which led to a healthy application that did not work.
    • The Lookup Manager application now supports all primitive types for the store keys.
    • The application framework provides the customizable RecordConverter composite operator for ITE applications, which was missing in earlier versions.
    • The teda-create-project command does not require Java to unpack the template file anymore.

Benefit from the improved documentation for the application framework and its configuration and customization.

Benefit from the improvements of the CSVParse operator.

Following features and compatible changes are available:

  • The operator’s performance increased by a factor of three.
  • In the mapping file, you can specify that default values are used if a value is not present (empty).

Be capable to ASN.1-encode data with the new ASN1Encode operator.

Use the new ASN1Encode operator that transforms an XML document into an ASN.1-encoded binary data stream.

Customize the context housekeeping of your ITE application now.

You can override the housekeeping for the checkpoint files of the customizable context. The default implementation still removes checkpoint files that are too old counted from now. For example, you can implement your own algorithm that determines the newest file from a time information in the file name and removes files that are too old relative to the newest file.
