Global Addressing Module

New and updated CLI commands

New command

gamdb memory set - The gamdb memory set command defines the memory size for the Global Addressing Module databases. The fields for defining minimum and maximum memory values can be empty. If a value is empty, that value will not be specified on the command line when starting the component, as if no value were explicitly defined. If no value is specified, or if a value is 0, the property will not be passed to the Command Line Interface.
gamdb memory set --name database_name --mn minimum_memory_size --mx maximum_memory_size

Updated command

gamdb create - The gamdb create command creates a new database resource on the server. This command now allows you to set minimum and maximum memory sizes.
gamdb create --f file --mn minimum_memory_size --mx maximum_memory_size

Global Address Parser

The Global Address Parser stage parses postal address strings into individual address elements, such as organization name, street, city, and postal code. The parser uses machine learning techniques and does not require a reference address database.

The Global Address Parser stage supports these new countries for this release:
  • Australia (AUS)
  • France (FRA)
  • Spain (ESP)
  • United States (USA)
For more information, see the Global Address Parser section in the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Addressing Guide.

Global Address Validation

Result Codes

The Global Address Validation stage includes new result codes that provide information about how Global Address Validation processed United States addresses.

VeriMove Data

The Global Address Validation stage includes a new US Addressing option. The VeriMove data block option determines whether to return 250-bytes of additional information codes to the output file. This additional information is used as input to the Pitney Bowes VeriMove move update product.

Multiple Candidates

The Global Address Validation stage has added the ability to return multiple candidates for US addresses. When the Maximum Records to Return option is set to a value other than 1 and multiple candidates are available, Global Address Validation processing now returns the specified number of candidate suggestions.

For more information, see the Global Address Validation section in the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Addressing Guide.
