Knowledge Discovery 25.4.0
25.4 Release Notes

# OpenText Connector

## 25.4.0

### New Features

- Some Extended ECM systems use Knowledge Discovery to generate AI summaries of documents and rich media files. When you set the new configuration parameter `IncludeSummaryInMetadata=TRUE`, the connector retrieves existing summaries from nodes in Extended ECM. The connector's update action, or NiFi patch processor, can set new summaries that have been generated.

### Resolved Issues

There were no resolved issues in this release.

## 25.3.0

### New Features

- A new configuration parameter, `ProcessSendToKDCollections`, has been added. When you set this parameter to `TRUE`, the connector does not process the repository by crawling from root volumes. Instead, it queries the Extended ECM API for collections that have been "Sent to Knowledge Discovery". The connector then ingests a document for each node in these collections. This feature allows users of Extended ECM to send collections of files to Knowledge Discovery for analysis.
- The connector supports the `Hold` and `ReleaseHold` actions.
- When inserting a file, the connector uses the `displayname` passed to the insert action as the filename, rather than a GUID. For example XML that you can use with the insert action, refer to the connector documentation.

### Resolved Issues

There were no resolved issues in this release.

## 25.2.0

### New Features

- The update action (and the patch processor in NiFi Ingest) can set supplemental markings on documents in Extended ECM. You might use NiFi Ingest to retrieve documents from Extended ECM and run Knowledge Discovery analytics, before updating the documents in Extended ECM with a supplemental marking describing the result. For example, you could identify documents that contain personal information (PII).

### Resolved Issues

There were no resolved issues in this release.

## 25.1.0

### New Features

- Document security has been improved - Access Control Lists now include permissions set on ancestor nodes in the Extended ECM system. With earlier versions of OpenText Connector, Knowledge Discovery users could be incorrectly granted access to a document because these permissions were not respected.
