Changes in Version 6.0
This section describes the changes to Axon in version 6.0.
Performance Improvements
Effective in version 6.0, the performance of Axon has improved in many areas. On the client machines, latency is reduced and Axon supports more concurrent users. With improved hardware utilization, Axon requires less memory to run tasks.
Query and Search API
Effective in version 6.0, the query and search API can retrieve objects of all facets and relationship types in Axon. You can also retrieve the objects of facets that are related to the primary object that you retrieve. Additionally, you can search and retrieve objects that have specific values within the fields. This API replaces the earlier API that was released with Axon Data Governance version 5.4.
For more information, see the Retrieve Primary Objects and Their Related Objects topic in the Informatica Axon Data Governance 6.0 REST API Guide.
View and Edit Glossary
Effective in version 6.0, you can view the following changes in the View and Edit modes of a Glossary object:
- •In the View mode, the Data tab displays Data Discovery, Data Sets, Data Attributes, and Data Map sub-tabs. Axon displays data sets and attributes in separate sub-tabs. Previously, the Data tab displayed Data, Data Map, and Data Discovery sub-tabs. Both data sets and attributes were displayed in separate sections in the Data sub-tab.
- •In the Edit mode, the Rules tab is renamed to the Data tab.
