IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release
New in this Release
The following sections describe the enhancements for the components of IDOL Server version 11.1.0.
Content Component
New in this Release
l
The Content component now supports Unicode characters between U+10000 and U+10FFF in index fields in documents encoded as UTF-8. These characters require four bytes to encode. This means that you can make it possible to search for characters such as emoji symbols by adding them to the
TangibleCharacters or
SoftSeparators configuration parameters for your language configuration.
Some 4-byte UTF-8 characters are now tangible (text) by default. In particular, the CJK ideographs from Extension blocks B-E (20000-2CEAF), and the CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement
(2F800-2FA1D) are now included as text. These characters are also recognized as CJK when you set NGramOrientalOnly to
True
.
In addition, characters that are listed as letters in the following scripts now also treated as tangible by default: Ahom, Avestan, Bassa Vah, Brahmi, Caucasian Albanian, Chakma, Cuneiform,
Deseret, Elbasan, Gothic, Grantha, Hatran, Imperial Aramaic, Inscriptional Pahlavi, Inscriptional
Parthian, Kaithi, Kharoshthi, Khojki, Khudawadi, Linear A, Linear B, Lycian, Lydian, Mahajani,
Manichaean, Meroitic, Miao, Modi, Multani, Nabataean, Old Hungarian, Old Italic, Old North
Arabian, Old Permic, Old Persian, Old South Arabian, Old Turkic, Pahawh Hmong, Palmyrene,
Phoenician, Psalter Pahlavi, Sharada, Siddham, Sora, Takri, Tirhuta, Ugaritic, Warang Citi.
l
The Content component now supports ligature characters as part of European ordering rules for sorting alphabetically when the SortComparisonMethod configuration parameter is set to 1 . In this case, ligatures are treated as variations on the base letter (for example, æ is a variation of ae), and are sorted after accented characters (for example a á æ b).
l
You can now preserve the index queue when you initialize your index by using the DREINITIAL index action. To preserve the queue, set the PreserveOnInitial configuration parameter to True in the
[IndexQueue] section. By default, the index queue is reset. You can also override the configuration parameter by setting the
PreserveQueue parameter in the
DREINITIAL
index action.
The configuration parameter and action parameter apply only when you reset the index. When you use
DREINITIAL
to restore the index from a backup, Content always replaces the existing index queue with the index queue in the backup.
l
The generation of
Context
summaries with the Sentences parameter has been improved so that
Content can now identify list-like items as sentences.
l
The GetTagNames action FieldType parameter now accepts a comma-separated list of field types.
l
The performance of Fuzzy queries has been improved, by making use of the unstemmed index.
Fuzzy matches now also more closely match the user's input text.
HPE IDOL Server (11.1.0) Page 6 of 34
IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release l
The FuzzyUseUnstemmed configuration parameter has been added to the [Server] section. Set this parameter to
False if you want to use the previous matching behavior.
The TermInfoReadBlockSize configuration parameter has been added to the [Server] section.
This parameter allows you to tune the size of each disk read when term information is read.
In most cases, HPE recommends that you use the default value. However, different storage devices have different characteristics, so you might be able to improve performance by modifying this parameter, particularly if Content is reading many terms, for example when it processes a broad
Wildcard query.
l
The timer set by the MaxSyncDelay parameter now starts only when there is data to flush to disk
(work that needs to be done). Previously, the timer would run continuously so that the first job received
MaxSyncDelay seconds after the last flush always triggered an immediate flush.
l
The IncludeExpiredResults parameter has been added to the [Server] section. Set this parameter to
False
if you want Content to check the expiration dates for documents at query time, and exclude any documents that have expired.
l
The ShowPermissions action now shows the rules that define whether a particular origin IP has a particular type of permission. This information is returned only if you send the ShowPermissions action from a client IP that is configured in the
AdminClients configuration parameter.
Resolved Issues
l
The DocumentStats action with the QueryAnalysis parameter set to
True
can now operate without a
MatchID or
MatchReference restriction.
l
If a stop list file was configured but did not exist, the Content component failed to start without any indication of what the error was.
l
Content could not process a DREDELDBASE index action if the configuration file was marked as readonly.
l
At startup, an inconsistent refindex could cause the server to exit silently. It now exits with an appropriate log message.
l
The GetQueryTagValues action could return an error when a metafield (including usermetafields) existed in the FieldName parameter and RestrictedValues was set to
True
.
l
When the IndexCompression configuration parameter was set to 2 , attempting to use a Wildcard in a proximity expression could lead to an interruption of service.
Note: When IndexCompression is set to 2 , Content does not store proximity information, so proximity queries are not supported. For more information, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
l
A complex query that contained a phrase that started with a very common term could cause an interruption of service if a document that contained an agentweight was evaluated during the query processing (for example, because it matched some other part of the query).
l
A query for a term that occurred in many documents could result in an interruption of service if a large proportion of those documents had been deleted and a compaction was running.
l
If the reference nodetable was damaged then a DREEXPORTIDX index action would fail, even though the main nodetable files were still intact.
HPE IDOL Server (11.1.0) Page 7 of 34
IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release l
A document that used a ReferenceMemoryMappedType field to link back to a document that contained multiple reference fields could successfully link to only the first reference value in the document.
l
A DRECOMPACT index action sometimes failed to update the statistics used for scoring, resulting in erroneous term weights.
l
Indexing individual IDX documents larger than 2GB in size could result in an interruption of service
(either when stored or when retrieved in a query). Documents above this size are now rejected at index time.
l
Querying large documents between 1GB and 2GB in size could result in an interruption of service.
l
When NodeTableSecureDelete was set to True , and duplicates were indexed, a spurious index log message could be generated.
l
The MemoryReport action could show a negative amount of memory for the term cache if persistent
TermCache settings were configured.
l
The persistent term cache was not used correctly after new terms were indexed.
l
Sending a
DREINITIAL
index action with the
RestoreTime parameter when there was no configured archive directory could result in an interruption of service.
l
When there were a large number of custom characters (separators, tangible characters, and so on) in the language configuration, the internal
ConceptSettings action (for example, used by the
Category component to its configured Agentstore) could cause an interruption of service.
l
The QuerySummary response could include blank or whitespace elements when the
SoftSeparators configuration parameter included non-alphanumeric characters.
l
In the GetQueryTagValues action, specifying the DateOffset parameter could force the output XML to be encoded in ISO-8859-1, regardless of the value of OutputEncoding or the original document encoding.
l
Content did not detect when the SortFieldStorageLength configuration parameter was modified without regenerating the index. These changes are now logged, and result in a configuration validation error.
l
Data in SortType fields that was not valid (for example, because the SortFieldStorageLength option was modified without regenerating the index) could cause an interruption of service.
l
Canceling a DREADD index action that was being processed could result in incorrect (possibly negative) document counts for databases in the GetStatus response.
l
In GenericStemming mode, when both German and Dutch stemming schemes were enabled, certain terms could be stemmed incorrectly, with the stemmed form being potentially invalid UTF-8.
l
Parametric ranges were only printed to six significant figures. Content now returns the full precision instead.
l
A TextParse query that contained a TextParseIndexType field that contained only whitespace characters could fail with an error.
l
The
ShowPermissions action did not return details for
IndexClients
,
ProxyClients
,
ServiceStatusClients , and ServiceControlClients if these values were not explicitly set in the configuration file.

IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release
Category Component
New in this Release
l
The performance for training a category using a large quantity of documents (specified by using a state token) has been significantly improved.
In addition, the FastBuild parameter has been added to the CategoryCreate and
CategorySetTraining actions. You can use this parameter when you specify the training as a state token ( StateID ) to speed up the calculation of terms and weights for a category. If you set
FastBuild to
True
, you must use BuildNow to build the category immediately, and you cannot use the
CategoryBuild action to build the category. In addition, if you use
FastBuild to build a category, the category cannot accept any additional training (that is, you can only use a
StateID to train the category, and you cannot retrain the category).
l
The
CategoryExportToXML and
CategoryImportFromXML
actions are now available when you have set the
MultipleParentsAllowed configuration parameter to
True
.
Note: When the MultipleParentsAllowed configuration parameter is set to
True
, the
CategoryImportFromXML action rejects any category that conflicts with another. This includes categories that have the same ID, or the same name and position in the category hierarchy.
l
The NormalMinDocOccs parameter has been added to the CategorySetDetails action. You can set this parameter to the minimum number of documents that a term must occur in for the term to be given a weight in the category training. The default value is
0
.
l
You can now update the details for a simple category before you build it by using the
CategorySetDetails action.
l
The ShowPermissions action now shows the rules that define whether a particular origin IP has a particular type of permission. This information is returned only if you send the ShowPermissions action from a client IP that is configured in the
AdminClients configuration parameter.
Resolved Issues
l
When the Category component was connected to a Content component that had the
NGramOrientalOnly parameter configured, the Category component could ignore the
NGramOrientalOnly parameter in its internal language configuration.
l
At full log level, Category sometimes added log messages without using new lines.
l
The ShowPermissions action did not return details for IndexClients , ProxyClients ,
ServiceStatusClients , and ServiceControlClients if these values were not explicitly set in the configuration file.

Community Component
New in this Release
l
The BaseDNPassword configuration parameter for LDAP security repositories now accepts a basic or
AES encrypted password string, as well as plain text.
l
The ShowPermissions action now shows the rules that define whether a particular origin IP has a particular type of permission. This information is returned only if you send the ShowPermissions action from a client IP that is configured in the AdminClients configuration parameter.
Resolved Issues
l
On some Windows operating systems, when Community was configured with NT security, running the Security action could result in an interruption of service.
l
The BackupServer action did not back up the Community configuration file.
l
The ShowPermissions action did not return details for IndexClients , ProxyClients ,
ServiceStatusClients , and ServiceControlClients if these values were not explicitly set in the configuration file.
Connector Framework Server
CFS includes KeyView filters and can run Eduction. For new features and resolved issues related to these components, refer to the KeyView Release Notes and Eduction Release Notes.
New in this Release
l
CFS can enrich documents that represent image and video files by sending the media to Media
Server for analysis. There is a new analysis task named MediaServerAnalysis , and new Lua functions named analyze_media_in_document and analyze_media_in_file
.
l
The parameter IndexBatchSizeBytes has been added. This specifies the maximum size a batch of documents can reach, in bytes, before CFS indexes the batch.
l
CFS supports the following Lua functions: l delete_path , which deletes an empty directory.
l extract_text , which extracts text from a string of data.

New in this Release recognition accuracy. You can use this parameter in the following tasks:
WavToText
StreamToText
StreamToTextMusicFilter
WavPhraseSearch
TelWavToText WavToFMD l
This release includes three new standard tasks that allow greater control over reviewing and editing the thresholds associated with speaker templates: l
The SpkIdSetEditThresh parameter allows you to modify the threshold of a single template in an audio template set file.
l
The SpkIdTmpEditThresh parameter allows you to modify the threshold of a single template by specifying the template file.
l
The
SpkIdTmpInfo parameter allows you to write information on specified template file to a log file.
l
You can use the
TimeQuant configuration parameter in the afp module, and the
TimeQ action parameter in the afpMatchWav and afpMatchStream tasks, to control the amount of quantization to use.
l
You can use the
MinPhoneRate parameter in language identification tasks to manipulate the threshold at which a segment is considered valid. You can use this parameter in the following tasks:
LangIdSegWav LangIdBndStream
LangIdCumWav
LangIdBndWav
LangIdSegStream
LangIdCumStream
LangIdSegLif
LangIdCumLif
LangIdBndLif
In addition, you can also use the SpeechThresh and SilThresh parameters in the LangIdFeature task and all the tasks mentioned above, to manipulate the threshold between speech and nonspeech, or silence and non-silence.
l
You can specify the name of the generated Language Model Information file by using the
NewLmInfoFile parameter. You can retrieve the file by using the GetResults action with the Label parameter set to
lmi
. You can also use the NewLmInfoFile parameter in the [lmbuild] module to set the output LMI file name. In addition, the NewDictionary parameter in the [lmbuild] module and LanguageModelBuild task is no longer compulsory.
l
You can use the new DropFrames parameter in the [filter] module to discard filtered frames rather than including them in the output.
l
The ShowPermissions action now shows the rules that define whether a particular origin IP has a particular type of permission. This information is returned only if you send the ShowPermissions action from a client IP that is configured in the AdminClients configuration parameter.

Unknown_ .
l
LMI files generated by LanguageModelBuild tasks are now deleted when you call the
DeleteResults action, as well as TLM and DCT files.
l
An issue was resolved that could lead to errors whilst running multiple speaker ID development tasks in parallel.
l
Audio fingerprint matching now gives an error if the supplied database is empty (that is, if it contains no audio tracks), instead of processing the data regardless of the fact that it will never produce any results.
l
ENUS normalization now uses the correct format for spelling out months. In addition, 1000 is correctly normalized as one thousand, and 2:00 pm is now correctly spelled as two pm instead of
two zero pm.

Asynchronous action queues can be stored in a MySQL database.
l
The ShowPermissions action now shows the rules that define whether a particular origin IP has a particular type of permission. This information is returned only if you send the ShowPermissions action from a client IP that is configured in the AdminClients configuration parameter.
Ingest
l l
Media Server includes a new ingest task ( Type=Image ) for ingesting image and document files.
Media Server can ingest video streamed using the RTMP and MMS protocols.
l
The configuration parameter StartOffset has been added to the LibAv ingest task. You can use this parameter with the
MaximumDuration parameter to specify part of a video file to process.
Analysis
l
Media Server includes new analysis tasks: l
Audio match analysis ( Type=AudioMatch ) uses an IDOL Speech Server to identify occurrences of known audio clips in ingested audio or video. One use case for audio matching is to detect copyright infringement.
l
Clothing analysis ( Type=Clothing ) provides the location of the clothing covering the upper body of a person detected by face detection.
HPE IDOL Server (11.1.0) Page 19 of 34
IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release l
Image Hash analysis ( Type=ImageHash ) generates a hash that describes the approximate color distribution of an image or video frame. The hash is suitable for indexing into IDOL Server. You can use image hashes to detect duplicate images, because identical images will have identical hashes.
l
Language identification ( Type=LanguageID ) uses an IDOL Speech Server to determine the language of speech in audio or video.
l
Object detection ( Type=ObjectDetection ) detects instances of objects that belong to predefined classes, such as "car" or "van". The task returns a bounding box for each detected object.
l
News segmentation ( Type=NewsSegmentation ) analyzes news broadcasts and identifies the times at which news stories begin and end. It also extracts the key terms from each story.
l
Media Server can read additional types of barcode:
Codabar
Code-128
Code-39
Code-93
Datalogic 2/5
Data Matrix
EAN-13
EAN-8
I25
IATA 2/5
Industrial 2/5
Matrix 2/5
Patch Code
PDF417
UPC-A
UPC-E l
Media Server uses a new algorithm for face demographics analysis that uses convolutional neural networks. The new algorithm provides better accuracy with similar speed.
l
The OCR analysis task supports the
OCRMode configuration parameter, which specifies whether the input images are pages of machine-printed text, or images of scenes that contain text.
l
The OCR analysis task handles all text extracted from PDF files and office documents. The output of the task includes the text produced by running OCR on embedded images, and also the embedded text extracted directly from the file.
l
Speaker identification uses the new speaker identification functionality introduced in IDOL Speech
Server 11.0. The new functionality allows Speech Server to be faster, more efficient in terms of memory use, and more scalable.
l
The accuracy of optical character recognition in number plate recognition has been improved.
l
The face detection and OCR analysis tasks support the configuration parameter NumParallel . This specifies the number of frames to analyze concurrently when processing video.
l
The color cluster and image classification tasks support a new configuration parameter,
RestrictToInputRegion . This specifies whether to analyze a region of the input image or video frame that is described in the input record, instead of the entire image. For example, if you use object detection to detect an object, you can use color analysis to analyze only the region where the object is located.
l
The image classification task supports a new configuration parameter, ClassificationThreshold .
This specifies the minimum confidence score necessary for Media Server to output a classification result.
HPE IDOL Server (11.1.0) Page 20 of 34
IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release l
Media Server can synchronize with the training database (load the latest training) before beginning an analysis task. The configuration parameter
SyncDatabase has been added to the analysis tasks for face recognition, object recognition, vehicle model identification, and image classification.
l
The action UnsyncClassifiers has been added. This removes all image classification training from memory. If image classification is not required, you can use this action to reduce memory use.
l
Media Server includes new training actions, NullFaceImageData and NullObjectImageData , which remove face and object images from your training database but do not remove the training.
This means that the face or object can still be recognized but the training images are no longer stored in the database.
l
You can stop the actions TrainFace , TrainObject , BuildFace , and BuildObject using action=QueueInfo&QueueAction=Stop
.
l
Analysis tasks that interact with Speech Server now send asynchronous actions to Speech Server, making the system more robust in case of network issues.
l
Speech-to-text and speaker identification tasks set an action ID for actions sent to Speech Server.
The action ID is the same as the action ID provided (or generated) for the process action that started the task. This means you can identify the Speech Server tasks that were started by a specific process action sent to Media Server.
l
The Scene Analysis Training Utility no longer includes masked areas when calculating the autoluminance threshold.
l
Number plate recognition can read number plates from: l
Canada.
l
Singapore l
Syria.
l
United States - Washington, DC.
l
Media Server can read new number plates now in use in Abu Dhabi.
l
Media Server now has separate number plate formats files for each of the emirates in the United
Arab Emirates.
l
The accuracy of number plate recognition has been improved for UAE number plates.
l
The accuracy of number plate recognition has been improved for Thai number plates.
l
The performance of number plate recognition has been improved in some locations where number plate recognition expects to see plates from multiple countries or states.
l
The configuration parameter BlackAndWhiteCamera has been added to number plate recognition.
This specifies whether the camera providing the source video captures grayscale video.
l
The configuration parameter MaxRead has been restored to number plate recognition (it was removed in Video Server 10.11.0).
Encoding
l
The rolling buffer encoder no longer writes a message to the log file every time a frame is dropped.
Media Server now provides a summary of dropped frames at regular intervals.
l
The CreateClip action can now return a video clip in an MP4 container file. The action has a new parameter named OutputFormat .
HPE IDOL Server (11.1.0) Page 21 of 34
IDOL Server Release Notes
New in this Release l
The Path parameter, for the CreateClip action, is now optional. If you do not set a path, the file is returned in the action response.
Event Stream Processing
l
Media Server includes a new ESP task ( Type=Combine ), which identifies related events in different tracks and creates an output track where the information from both tracks is combined into a single output record. This differs from the And task because it produces a single output record for each record in the first input track, and this output record contains copies of all related records from the second input track. In comparison, the
And task creates one output record for each pair of related records.
Transformation
l
Media Server includes new transformation tasks: l
Cropping ( Type=crop ) produces cropped images based on region data supplied by analysis tasks. For example, if you run face detection you can use this task to produce cropped images that show detected faces.
l
Blurring ( Type=blur ) produces images with blurred regions, based on region data supplied by analysis tasks. For example, if you run face detection you can use this task to produce images where detected faces are blurred and therefore unrecognizable.
Output
l
Media Server includes a new ODBC output task ( Type=ODBC ). The new task can run more complex queries and output data to more than one table.
l
Media Server includes new output modes: l
Page mode produces documents that represent a page of an image or document.
l
AtEnd mode produces documents that represent media assets (one document is produced for each process action).
l
Media Server includes a new XSL template, toCFS_MMAP.xsl
. This template transforms records into documents that are suitable for indexing into an IDOL Server, through CFS. The documents that are created by this transformation have standardized field names that are used by other IDOL components, such as the HPE MMAP application.
l
The IdolDb configuration parameter has been added to the CFS output task. The value of this parameter appears in the output and can be used to populate the DREDBNAME document field (but you must configure your XSL transformation to do this).
l
The configuration parameter DestinationURL , for the HTTP POST output task, now accepts a string that includes macros.

True
in the View action, View could terminate unexpectedly while attempting to parse certain documents.
l
The ShowPermissions action did not return details for IndexClients , ProxyClients ,
ServiceStatusClients , and ServiceControlClients if these values were not explicitly set in the configuration file.
Web Connector (Windows and Linux only)
New in this Release
l
The connector can write rendered images, PDF files, and thumbnails to a folder rather than ingesting them as the content of documents.
l
The parameter FullPageRender has been added. This parameter specifies whether rendered images and thumbnails show the entire page or only the top part of the page, that you would see when viewing the page in a web browser.
l

Upgrade Information
Upgrade Information
This section describes how to upgrade IDOL Server and its components.
Upgrade to IDOL 11.x
The simplest way to upgrade is to index data into a fresh installation of IDOL 11.0, whilst also activating any further functionality that is appropriate for your use case. However, IDOL 11.0 is also fully compatible with existing installations and indexes, so you do not need to reindex, as long as you include certain configuration settings before you run the IDOL 11.0 executable.
You must add the following configuration setting for the Content component, unless a different value is already present. If you create a new IDOL index, you can ignore this step.
[Server]
ParametricMaxPairsPerDocument=104858
If you want to upgrade to IDOL 11.x from IDOL 7.x, there are some additional configuration updates.
For more information, refer to the IDOL 11 Upgrade Technical Note.
Upgrade Document Tracking
In IDOL 10.9, the database schema for Document Tracking was updated. For information about upgrading your document tracking database backend from IDOL 10.8 or earlier to IDOL 10.9 or later, refer to the Document Tracking 10.9 Upgrade Technical Note.
The database schema for Document Tracking was updated for IDOL 10.3. For information about upgrading your document tracking database backend from IDOL 10.2 or earlier, refer to the Document
Tracking 10.3 Upgrade Technical Note.

Notes
Notes
l
If you are running IDOL server on the Solaris operating system, ensure you specify an installation path that is less than 30 characters. This prevents an issue with the stop script.
Connector Framework Server
l
If you are upgrading from CFS 10.9.0 or earlier, ensure that your CFS finishes indexing data into
IDOL before you upgrade. There must be no data left in the outgoing folder.
l
The default configuration file installed with CFS now runs field standardization. Field standardization renames document fields so that documents created by different connectors use the same field names to store the same type of information. In some cases field standardization modifies field values so that the values are in standard formats.
Note: You might need to make configuration changes to other IDOL components and front-end applications if you have configured them to rely on specific document fields.
If you would prefer to disable field standardization, modify the CFS configuration file as follows: l
In the [ImportService] section, set the configuration parameter
EnableFieldNameStandardization to
FALSE
.
l
In the [ImportTasks] section, remove the field standardization import task by deleting the line
Post0=Standardizer .
l
The ImageServerAnalysis and VideoServerAnalysis tasks have been deprecated. HPE recommends using the MediaServerAnalysis task instead.
l
The Lua functions analyze_image_in_document , analyze_image_in_file , analyze_video_in_ document , and analyze_video_in_file have been deprecated. HPE recommends using the functions analyze_media_in_document , and analyze_media_in_file instead.
Media Server
l
Keyframe analysis (when running as the only analysis task) no longer consumes a visual channel from your Media Server license.
l
The behavior of the actions TrainFace and TrainObject has changed. If the action returns an error or all of your training images fail (for example Media Server cannot detect a face or object features), then Media Server does not add the face or object to the database.
l
The output of the face demographics, OCR, and image classification analysis tasks has changed.
Refer to the Media Server Administration Guide for information about the values that can be returned.

Speaker identification uses the new speaker identification functionality introduced in IDOL Speech
Server 11.0. You must update any Media Server configuration that performs speaker identification.
To continue using legacy speaker identification, set the configuration parameter
UseLegacyAction=TRUE . To use the new speaker identification functionality, replace the configuration parameter AstPath with TemplateSet , which specifies the path to the audio template set file to use for identifying speakers.
l
The vehicle model identification analysis task supports a new configuration parameter,
MatchQuality , which specifies the minimum confidence that is required for a result to be included in the output. The default value is 0.5
. To achieve results similar to previous versions of Media Server, set this parameter to
1.0
. The default value prioritizes capturing more results over identification accuracy.
l
The following changes have been made to configuration parameters for number plate recognition: l
InverseOption has been removed.
l
Location no longer accepts the value AE (for the United Arab Emirates), because Media Server now includes a formats file for each emirate in the United Arab Emirates. If you have set
Location=AE in any of your configuration files, you must update the parameter value.
l
MinValidScore now accepts values from 80 to 100. If you have set this parameter to a value lower than 80, you should update your configuration(s).
