Effective in version

10.2.2

, the Address Validator transformation incorporates features from version

5.14.0

of the Informatica Address Verification software engine.

Previously, the transformation used version

5.12.0

of the Informatica Address Verification software engine.

Effective in version 10.2.2, Informatica improves the parsing and validation of Japan addresses based on customer feedback.

For example, in version 10.2.2, Informatica rejects a Japan address when the postal code is absent from the address or the postal code and the locality information do not match.

Previously, Informatica tried to correct the address.

Effective in version 10.2.2, Informatica improves the parsing and validation of Spain addresses.

For example, in version 10.2.2, the Address Validator transformation rejects a Spain address when the street information needs multiple corrections to create a match with the reference data.

Previously, the transformation performed multiple corrections to the street data, which might lead to an optimistic assessment of the input address accuracy.

Similarly, in version 10.2.2, if an address matches multiple candidates in the reference data, the Address Validator transformation returns a I3 result for the address in batch mode.

Previously, the transformation might try to correct the input address.

Effective October 2018, Informatica no longer supports the reference data files that contain Parcel Centroid and Rooftop geocode data.
