AddressPro Version 1.21.0.0 Released May 2024

Cycle O

Enhancements

This release only affects the Loqate Cloud International-Address lookup feature of AddressPro.

The Loqate Cloud web service has been updated from a SOAP to a REST system. By default, this version and all future versions of AddressPro will use the new REST web service for Loqate Cloud lookups. All address-processing functionality will remain the same.

The only change that a user might need to make is to ensure that their Loqate Cloud license key (in the AddressPro web-service configuration file) is in the newer format, see below:

LQC_LICENSE_KEY=AA11-BB22-CC33-DD44

If the old SOAP web service needs to be used, then the following parameter can be put into the AddressPro web-service configuration file (webservice.cfg):

LQC_USE_SOAP=1

Corrections

This release fixes the AddressPro WSD: files to allow files to be retrieved from a simple URL using a web browser. The URLs to use for each of the AddressPro WSDL files are as follows (HTTPS should be used for SSL connections):

http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareAddressing.wsdl
http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareStats.wsdl
http://address_pro_ip_address/AnchorSoftwareUtilities.wsdl

 

AnchorCoder Version 5.00.05.O Released December 2023

Enhancements

This release contains the following update to AnchorCode for Mainframe customers only:
The AnchorCoder API for CICS may encounter an endless loop when using remote file definitions.
The key length specified on the STARTBR with the generic option was not being carried forward
on subsequent READNEXT commands. For remote files, if KEYLENGTH is not defined in the file
definition, and is not specified in the application program, and the key is longer than 4
characters, the default value is 4. This causes the browse to be repositioned and each READNEXT
command returns the same record resulting in a looping condition. The AnchorCoder API has
been updated to specify KEYLENGTH on the READNEXT command.

Corrections

This release fixes an issue where we were not processing an address through LACSLink® if there was only address information in input address-line 2.
