History of Changes

    You might want to also see the changes in Document to Structure, since they also affect Document to Database.

    Document to Database 16.03.07

    Improvements

    • The d2db command now exits with an error code when execution failed.

    Document to Database 15.01.19

    Improvements

    • Encrypted documents are now reported more clearly in the logs, and only at level FINE.

    Document to Database 14.12.01

    Bug fixes

    • Document to Database now uses a specific JChemProperties table also when using the JChem Oracle cartridge database type. This avoids interference with other instances of JChem.

    Document to Database 14.11.17

    Improvements

    • A new configuration layout was introduced. All configuration files are now stored inside a directory. The main configuration file (d2db.conf) contains only the essential properties and is therefore much simpler, while optional feature groups can be configured in separate files.

      When using the default name "conf" for the configuration directory, d2db commands can now be called directly without repeating the configuration name each time, for instance: "d2db index <folder>".

    Document to Database 14.10.06

    Bug fixes

    • Filesystem indexing would fail on directories without read permissions.

    Improvements

    • For documents with no title in the metadata in the file itself or the source repository, the path is now used as the title instead of having an empty title.

    Document to Database 14.09.22

    Improvements

    • Installation of d2db with the JChem Oracle Cartridge is simplified, in particular by better logging and error messages.

    • Logging messages are improved to facilitate investigating problematic documents.

    September 8th, 2014: Document to Structure 14.09.08

    Bug fixes

    • Indexing of Office documents with a Last-Author but no Author was failing.

    August 25th, 2014: Document to Structure 14.8.25

    New Features and Improvements

    • Passwords in Oracle JDBC URLs are now hidden as *** in logging output for confidentiality.

    August 18th, 2014: Document to Structure 14.8.18

    New Features and Improvements

    • Corporate IDs (registry numbers) can be converted by defining a regular expression and a database SQL query to convert them to structures. See the sample configuration file for instructions.

    July 7th, 2014: Document to Structure 14.7.7

    New Features and Improvements

    • Performance when using the oracle cartridge was gradually degrading over time, when indexing a large number of documents (for several hours). This has been fixed, performance now remains constant.

    • Document to Database now uses a specific JChemProperties table, to avoid interference with other instances of JChem.

    April 18th, 2014: Document to Structure 6.3.0

    New Features and Improvements

    • The connection to the database was optimized to improve speed. Please note however that performance can still degrade for tasks running for several hours. It is currently advised to split such tasks into smaller ones, as that will lead to shorter overall running time. This issue will be fixed in a future release ( it has been fixed in version 14.7.7 ).

    September 13th 2013: Document to Database 6.1.0

    New Features and Improvements

    • d2db can now index a set of documents stored in a filesystem. Only modified files are processed during reindexing.
