We had shared in our release documentation that end users are reminded if they have not installed the geocoder and reverse geocoder macros from the Q3 2017 release that they do so due to several key changes implemented in that release. The below changes were -

 

  • Geocoder (affects UK/ROI, AU/NZ, BR and EU Spatial installs only)
    • Migration to TomTom’s Online Search API and license key update therefore geocoders installed prior to the Q3 2017 release will not be active after December 31, 2017
    • The macro has been updated to meet the currently supported version of Alteryx Designer 10.5.9.15014
    • Updated Customer Support error messaging
  • Reverse geocoder – last two bullets plus,
    • Adding logic to replace missing latitude and longitude values with 0 and alerting users when these missing values are converted to 0
    • Migration to TomTom’s Online Search API and license key update therefore reverse geocoders installed prior to the Q3 2017 release will not be active after December 31, 2017

Please ensure that you have installed the Geocoder (where applicable) and Reverse Geocoder macros from installs including and after Q3 2017.
