RETS Connector 1.2 Patch 11 (rev 7220 03-28-2018)
This version of RETS Connector includes a roll-up of all changes made in the previous
beta, plus new enhancements and bug fixes. We hope you find the new RETS Connector
features useful.
We value your feedback. Please email
RetsConnectorSupport@CoreLogic.com if you encounter any difficulties
with this version.
Release Highlights
Migration from Previous Versions of RETS Connector
RETS Connector 1.2 supports features in the previous versions with the following
exceptions:
- ▸ Multiple Servers
In previous versions of RETS Connector users could configure an unlimited number
of RETS Servers. In RETS Connector 1.2 users can configure a maximum of two servers.
This can be used to support Production and Testing RETS servers from the same Listing
Service or two RETS servers from different Listing Services. When migrating to the
new version, the installation process will continue to allow tasks to run against any
servers that were defined before the migration. If more than two servers are defined
for an installation, however, users will not be able to edit any server information
until the user either removes servers or upgrades RETS Connector with the new Unlimited
Server Feature.
- ▸ User-Agent Configuration
Users can customize User-Agents, but the User-Agent name must include the ‘RETS-Connector1.2’
prefix. This allows the user to configure a custom User-Agent while still identifying
the Client as RETS Connector. This custom User-Agent will typically need to be defined
on the ML server side as well. If users require a custom User-Agent that does not
include ‘RETS Connector’ in the User-Agent name then they can upgrade
RETS Connector with the new Custom User-Agent feature.
