Detailed Consideration
Starting with the PTV North America Map 2018 the PTV maps will receive changes in their initial speed values to provide more realistic travel times. Therefore, a new attribute called dataCompatibilityVersion was introduced in the map meta data and also in the stored profile. If the value from the stored profile and map data differ, the PTV xServer won’t start and leave a regarding message in the log file:
The profile <profile>.xml does not match the map, its dataCompatibilityVersion is 1, but the map requires version 2.
The zip archive Profiles_xServer2_DataVersion2.zip with the new profiles must be extracted to the
conf/profiles folder of your PTV xServer.
Please contact your PTV representative for further information.
