FAS 6.3 Upgrade Notes

Indexing

FAS 6.3 removed support for enriching data while loading it using enrich.py. Data enriching should be done as part of the ETL process. Starting with FAS 6.3, attribute types are declared in a 'dummy item' that is loaded as the first item, and removed after all other items have been loaded. The Fredhopper Data Manager supports generating this dummy item based on the input data.

Deployment

The location of the publish.lck file used for custom publication actions moved from FAS/tmp to the platform-specific default temporary files directory. Restore the old behaviour by adding -Djava.io.tmpdir=$FRED_TMP to config/java.options.qserver.
