The following enhancements to Customer, Supplier, and Location MDM functionality have been made as part of the 2024.3 update. These changes are outlined below and described in the Details section that follows:

  • The Machine Learning Matcher now supports information about version compatibility to help users select a matcher version that is compatible with the current STEP version they are using.

  • The ‘Stibo Aspire' gateway integration endpoint is renamed to ‘Match Recommendation Service’ to reflect that we are phasing out the Aspire name.

Details

Machine Learning Matcher now supports version compatibility information

The configuration dialog of the pretrained Machine Learning Matcher now includes information about matcher versions that are incompatible with the current STEP version.

If the user selects a version that is incompatible with the current STEP release, the version will be marked as incompatible, and the user will receive a warning message about the incompatibility. Further details will be included in the Release Notes for the matcher.

Having access to this information assists user in selecting appropriate matcher versions to avoid potential compatibility issues. Additionally, it informs users about new accessible versions, helping them consider updating their system.

For more information, refer to the topic Matcher: Machine Learning Matcher in the Matching, Linking, and Merging documentation.

‘Stibo Aspire' gateway integration endpoint renamed

The ‘Stibo Aspire' gateway integration endpoint is renamed to ‘Match Recommendation Service’ in the workbench.

This gateway component is used with the Match Recommendation with Machine Learning feature to connect to microservices hosted on Stibo Systems’ SaaS platform.

The name change alligns with our future direction, phasing out the Aspire name. The change does not affect the server URL and the client ID parameters, and no action is required from users.
