New Ireland Directory (July, 2020) Ireland now has its own self-contained directory called SAP ADDR IRELAND [ga_ie_paf.dir] available for purchase.

Russia directory file size (October, 2018) As of October, 2018, the Russia directory has increased in size from approximately 33 GB to approximately 68 GB. Due to file size limitations on the SAP Support Launchpad, the directory is split into two download files – an .exe file and a .rar file. New vendor for China address directory data (July, 2018) Effective July 2018, SAP has started using a new provider with more accurate and current China address directory data. Data Services 4.2.11.0 - for which we are targeting a Q3 release - will work only with the new International Directory Update International directory update for January 2021 PUBLIC 5 data, so you must download the new directory named ga_cn_nav.dir. Data Services versions prior to 4.2.11 will work only with the old data. Caution: SAP is discontinuing using the old vendor and has terminated our contract with that vendor. If you wish to continue to cleanse China data, you will need to purchase a new subscription for China Address Directory that will be available with Data Services 4.2.11. Older service pack versions of Data Services will continue to support the old China Post data directory (ga_cn_paf.dir). However, we will be posting this directory file for the last time in October 2018. This allows you to process data with the old data directory file through the end of the year. Updates for Russian word assignments in Global Address Cleansing Parsing Dictionary Data Services and Data Quality Management SDK 4.2 SP9 Patch 1 contains several updates to the GAC parsing dictionary that will improve your assignments for Russian words. Be sure to install the patch and the latest Russian directory to take advantage of these update. The parsing dictionary is released as part of Data Services. If you don’t download the latest Russian directory along with the latest patch, GAC will still assign Russian words, but you won’t be taking advantage of the improved assignments. Delta directory files for Germany The directory package for Germany contains two files beneficial for efficiently updating your address lists. The files are referred to as "delta" files, as they provide a list of postcodes, localities, and street names that have changed in the German address data since the last quarter's directory update. You can use this list to construct a filter to process only the records in your input files that will be affected by the directory changes. This will save processing time by only processing necessary records in your datasets. The delta files are: de<YYYYMM>_delta_pc.txt Contains a list of postcodes for which addresses have changed since the last quarter's directory update.
