Description of the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint hotfix package (Fsserver-x-none.msp): October 8, 2013

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

• When you use a JDBC database connector to extract numeric data for indexing, the numeric data is converted to float values. Therefore, search results are less accurate.
  
  Note After you apply this hotfix, you can add the following parameter to the JDBC connector configuration file to improve the accuracy of the search results:

  <group name="Normalization" expand="no">
  <description>
  <![CDATA[The parameter in the "Normalization" group is defining if double precision should be used for indexing when available from the database]]>
  </description>
  <parameter name="UseDoublePrecision" type="boolean">
  <description>
  <![CDATA[If true, double values will be passed for indexing when the retrieved data is a double. 
  Default: (false)]]>
  </description>
  <valid-values>true;false</valid-values>
  <value>false</value>
  </parameter>  
  </group>

  If you want double values extracted from the database to be fed to the search engine as double values, set the value in the code to true.
  
  If you want numeric data to be converted to float values, set the value in the code to false, or remove the parameter from the JDBC connector configuration file.
  

• When you extract content from the SharePoint Server 2010 Indexing Connector for Documentum, some usernames that contain a mix of upper and lowercase letters are not displayed in the Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) service.
  

• When you perform a crawl on a SharePoint Server 2010 site, you receive the following error message:

  AddDecimalNumber(bi1, bconamount, number1) failed: Could not convert decimal number 'number1' to an integer using 0 digit decimal precision.
