Updates were made to make merge operations more efficient and improve their overall performance.
When upgrading from version 3.0.0, 3.1.0, or 3.1.1 you must update existing matching configurations. After updating configuration settings, you should re-execute matching to ensure that matching related metadata is up to date.
This release contains no changes in functionality.
This release contains no changes to third-party libraries.
This release contains no closed issues.
This release contains the following known issues:
[MAME-8084] The Evaluate matching service returns inconsistent results for related matching fields that have the DateTime data type.
[MAME-8857] It is not possible to accept or reject suspects in groups that contain a large number of records.
Foreign key alignment of recursive foreign keys is not possible.
[MAME-7434] Linked records are duplicated in the link table when one of the foreign keys is not part of the primary key.
[MAME-9049] A manual merge operation cannot be performed on more than 400 records.
When matching using the foreign key option, you can only specify a single hop foreign key. In other words, it cannot be a foreign key to a foreign key.
The Validation service in the Consolidated view runs as expected when first executed, but slow on subsequent executions.
In order to accurately track record lineage, table history must remain activated over time. If the table's activation status repeatedly changes, the lineage data will be inconsistent.
Severe errors occur when multiple datasets based on the same model exist and a table from one of these datasets is activated in an add-on matching configuration. As a workaround, you can create another data model publication using the Manage publications service in the Data Model Assistant. After creating a dataset for the new publication, you can follow the normal procedures to configure a matching policy for tables in the new dataset.
For foreign key alignment, the FKs that are multi-value fields cannot be aligned (either manually or automatically).
