Post-Installation Activities

  1. Materialized View for Performance Improvement

    In Postgres only, the OGC 360 Viewer is impacted by the number of remediation tickets in the system. This patch provides a performance improvement by creating a materialized view for the case_doc_xref table.

    The performance improvement can be achieved in one of two ways:

    • Automatically create the materialized view for performance improvement.

      If you do not already have a bundle deployed, after installing the patch, run Install/Replace bundle to reset the environment. The Remediation database objects will be re-created and the create-case-doc-xref-materialized-view.sql will be run.

    • Manually run the steps to create the materialized view for performance improvement.

      If you already have a bundle deployed, follow the steps in the create-case-doc-xref-materialized-view.sql to alter the view and gain the performance benefits.

      • Drop the existing view.
      • Create the materialized case_doc_xref view.
      • Create the unique index.

Note: You can download create-case-doc-xref-materialized-view.sql from the Information Builders Technical Support Center at:

Key Features

Topics:

The following are the key features in Omni-Gen Release 3.15 Cumulative Patch 2.

New Runtime Configuration Tab

A new Runtime Configuration tab was added to the Omni Console to allow you to configure the polling interval for some services. This can be used in high volume environments during data loads to minimize the strain on the database.

Ramp to Source Improvements

The following are new feature enhancements to Ramp to Source functionality.

NATIVE_SQL Not Recognizing Errors in Ramp to Source

When using NATIVE_SQL, it is recommended to run the quality gate service and fix errors and warnings before processing the batch.

Use of a User-Defined Hash Function

To enhance performance, if the Database Hash Function is set on the default database, this feature allows a user-defined database function to be used to generate the hash keys, instead of the default.

This alternate hash function will be used in ramp to source processing with NATIVE_SQL, in the CODES_PROCESS workorder, which inserts codes/sets that were not preloaded, and in migration scripts that are generated on deploy.

Performance Improvements for Default Hash Function

To optimize performance, the default hash function is now defined as IMMUTABLE and STRICT.
