Hello Users!
We've rolled out some exciting new features and enhancements in Catalyst. Here are the product updates for June and July 2021:
New Features
Zia Text Analytics
Your Catalyst Zia experience has just gotten even better. Zia Text Analytics is an AI-driven service that processes textual content to perform the following operations:
Sentiment Analysis: Recognizes the tone and sentiment of a text as Positive, Negative, or Neutral
Named Entity Recognition (NER): Extracts key words from a text and groups them into various pre-determined categories
Keyword Extraction: Extracts the highlights of a text, such as the key words and key phrases in it
Text Analytics is available in the Java and Node.js platforms. You can implement the readymade code templates we have provided, in your application's source. Catalyst also provides you with individual APIs for each Text Analytics feature.
The Catalyst console offers an integrated platform where you can test Text Analytics with a selection of sample text, and obtain visual results, as well as a JSON response.
Text Analytics enables you to obtain useful insights, patterns, and trends from any textual content, which helps you automate the analysis of crucial data and make informed business decisions.

Enhancements
1. UI Enhancements and New Features in Event Listeners
We have implemented new functionalities in Event Listeners, such as Queued Events, which display the component and third-party events that are currently being processed. You will also be able to see the detailed execution history of successful events after they exit the queue in the Processed Events section.
The Event Listeners UI console has also undergone some upgrades that enhance and simplify the user experience, like the availability of the day's stats inside an event listener's page.
2. New Query Operations and Features in ZCQL
Catalyst's own query language, ZCQL, now includes a host of new functionalities that will improve your coding experience. Here is a list of new query operations available:
Data Insertion: You can now insert records into an existing table in the Data Store using ZCQL. You can also execute partial data insertion queries.
Data Updating: You can also update the existing values of columns in a table.
Data Deletion: You can search for specific records from an existing table and delete them permanently.
ZCQL also now offers support for additional features, such as the 'LIKE' and 'BETWEEN' operators in the 'WHERE' clause, that can be used to filter records in these operations.
3. Enhancements in Circuit Compilation Error Handling
Catalyst now performs a compilation error check on a circuit's configuration or structure right after you save the circuit. This will list the non-dependant and possible errors identified in a circuit's state configurations, design, and logic flow, even before you execute the circuit.
We have several other enhancements and new features, such as a product tour in the console for new users. Catalyst also now offers multi-DC support for the EU and IN data centers. You can check out our Release Notes for more details.
Please try out our new features, and share your feedback with us.
Until next time. Thanks, and stay safe!
