Version 11.0
We are pleased to
announce the release of version 11.0 of Markit EDM. The highlights in this version include.
Concurrent
Processing
All processing
components now have the ability to run concurrently thus removing the issue of job
queue generation caused by component locking.
This builds upon the concurrent solutions and process keys functionality
introduced in the 10.* series.
In-Memory
Processing
The Data Inspector
and Data Constructor both have the option to run in memory rather than as a stored
procedure using similar functionality to the Data Flow Component. This will enable the ability to move the
processing workload to the application server and to load-balance across multiple
application servers.
Core
Matcher
The Core Matcher
brings a new style of matching, to align with the other major themes of
concurrency and in-memory processing.
The process will now match to a central Core Record rather than to the
individual source pairs, thereby considerably reducing the number of rules, and running
as an in-memory service providing the option to prioritise Id requests from different sources.
The Core Matcher is
still in Beta test while we test further scenarios internally and with
clients. A further announcement will
confirm when the Core Matcher will be generally available.
Web UI
With the removal of
Silverlight support in v11.0, the Web UI has been given a new theme to
freshen up the look at feel. The theme will
be configurable in the future to suit client styles.
The Web UI will
continue to evolve in future releases - with new grid and charting elements in
version 11.5 and with new paging, responsive layouts, and end-user configuration in
2017.
For further details
on the release please visit the following page in Confluence.
If you are interested
in obtaining a copy of version 11.0, please contact your client manager. If concurrent processing and the Core Matcher
are of particular interest, please highlight this since you will require a new
license.
Templates
The Index Master
template has been added to our Template offering. The template provides a model to house Index
reference data, Index Levels and returns, and the underlying constituents' weights and returns. The Index Master template can be connected into the other existing Templates:
Security
Party
Price
Please contact your
client manager or support to request a package containing the templates. The package is supported from v10.5.3 onwards.
Future Developments
SQL 2008
We will look to
remove support for SQL 2008 during the second release of 2017. This is to allow us to focus on more recent
functionality provided from SQL 2012 such as always-on services.
Component
Definitions
In 2017 we will be
changing the XML definition structure of each component type to provide more
user friendly definitions. This will help
enable merging and branching as part of a version control strategy.
For most clients
this will not be an issue, because the definitions exist in the EDM system tables, but any solution that interrogates the
component definitions will need to be changed.
