PTV Logistics Product Forum

Hello everybody,

Examples ...

Hi Jochen,

thanks for your reply.

The question remains, whether this is a bug or a deprecated feature.
Can we get a commitment on this please?

Hello everybody,

I am looking for ways beyond SEARCH_FUZZY to improve the "hit rate" of xLocate, when adress data is "imperfect".

It looks like native-alternative.xml has a bunch of NamedSearchOptions which sound like they could have an impact.

The following are of particular interest:

Hello everybody,

Dear forum users,

I am looking for a way to specify an existing profile upon creation of a new DIMA. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to do this according to the API documentation. It says the createDima operation takes two parameters:

Dear forum members,

The XMLSnippet I used (see ...
