Installing Version 10.5

Regularly scheduled product updates

To validate address data, the Address Verification stage needs postal validation reference files. Reference files are updated regularly, typically on a quarterly basis. You also must periodically update the stage library.

The update is not complete unless you update both the stage library and reference data files. If you do not update both the stage library and the reference data, you might see inconsistent results generated from the AVI stage. For more information on installing reference files and updating the library for the stage, see Installing and updating postal validation reference files.

Limitations and problems for IBM InfoSphere QualityStage Address Verification Interface, Version 10.5, are documented in technotes, which are available on the IBM Support Portal.
