Adobe Analytics

Hello, recently i identified an issue concerning marketing channels i´d like to minimize. I had 2 channels with different names and different rules configured in my report suite that were receiving traffic from the same source, e.g. social media. The query string parameter wasn´t correctly set in all url´s. The rule for the first channel was set to look for a specific parameter in the url and the rule for the second channel was set to look for a bunch of referring root domains. I wanted all this traffic to be in just one channel. I applied these 2 rules to the first channel, so now this channel is getting all traffic and the second is deprecated. My question is, could i rename the second channel (same name as first) so i can get when needed all the historical data from both channels in just one row?  Thanks! 

Hello,I've being digging in time metrics, and one is still not so clear for me - Time spent per visit (seconds).The formula is clear and says that it is Total Seconds Spent/(Visits - Bounces) - https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/components/metrics/time-spent-per-visit.html In Adobe in the table I see such resultsIn the first row if you count 9084/(43-8)=259 which differs from the result.I did vice versa 9084/293=31. And I couldn't get those 31 not from adding, nor subtracting Visits, Bounces, Page Views, Single Page visits and all the combinations of those. The same is with rest of rows (at least first 5). Could you explain how did this 293 appears?  

how to override the MCID over the cookies for mobile app implementation?

We are wanting to speed up our page load time and take off our GA tags and get the same data by using the GA extension in Launch.  Can we install the extension, remove the tags from being hard-coded on the pages and then put the code in the extension code editor?  Will that give us the same data or is not possible to set up the extension in a way that allows us to remove the GA code on our pages?

Hello everyone, How can I check the data retension in Adobe Analytics?Thanks

How to capture the AEM search load time in Adobe analytics

Hi, Can anyone help to understand, if the breakdown by traffic code for Marketing channels should match with the group it should belong to? Like, e.g. I break down Natural Search and can see that Unspecified is about 80% and cid with 'email' is 20%. Do I understand correctly and real Organic is only 80% of the shown number? Or it's possible for organic traffic to contain the email tracking code? 

Users have been requesting that many of the missing Report Suite/Admin API (v1.4) become available in the I/O Console (as v2.0 API). In particular, many users would benefit from exporting the mapping of processing rules, as suggested here.Is this something that is on the road map for Analytics API development?

OS: RHEL 7.6 (Maipo)Server: AEM-6.5.1 SP-6.5.1Adobe Launch---------------------------------------------When we try to take below Referrer reports always the counts are showing under Typed / Bookmarked.Reports/Traffic Sources/Referring Domains,Reports/Traffic Sources/Referrer TypesReports/Traffic Sources/ReferrerIn some of the blogs they mentions if(search-engine) -> else if() -> else if() -> else { "Typed / Bookmarked" ).  Agreed, but what I missed here to get the actual values. if I need to set s.referrer where I need to configure or set.  Thanks in advance

For reference, as a test I am trying to tie a single eVar uploaded with Data Sources via the Data Sources API to an existing visitor in Analytics (using Adobe Launch). I am using Experience Cloud Visitor ID as transactionID, event "Data Source Upload", and an eVar where I am sending a string "bot". I have done the following so far testing a single visitor with a generic transactionID Data Source: 1. I verified in the cloud debugger that transactionID is sending for a page and matches the Experience Cloud Visitor ID.2. I uploaded a single entry Data Sources file for my test visits with the only visitor ID.3. In my Analytics report (attached) I see the "Data Source Upload" event registering the hit but I still see my visits listed as "Unspecified" and not "bot". I expected this to eventually resolve due to some delay but it has not. Is there something I am missing to tie this data together so I see the visits correctly labeled?  

I have a dimension with blog URLs that I need to add new URLs to. How can I add these new URLs to this existing dimension?

I am connecting my power BI desktop to Adobe analytics (using SSO login) via standard AA connector. I am able to get in, select the dimension I need and the metrics too, segment too. It gives me a preview of the data correctly (10 rows).But even after I load the data, I still keep getting only 10 rows when the same logical report in AA gives me about 9k records.Can someone help me with this? Also, I should mention my original need of using power BI because I need to export all the 9k records which Pagination in AA will take me like hours to extract. 

ExampleSingle page landing page shows 90K visits.Adobe "bounce" metric shows 70K bounces. Time on page "bucketed" and "granular" metrics show 20K visits with time on page from 1 second to 30 minutes. If only 20K are actual visits then why does the original "visit" metric show 90K? 

This is one thing that has always stumped me about Marketing Channels.Marketing Channels are applied with every hit. And channels like Paid Search, Display, etc. are usually configured where the Query Parameter is set with some value. So I understand how the first hit of a visit would be able to be categorised under one of these Marketing Channels.But what about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...nth hits? These hits don't have the Query Parameter any more, so how would AA know that they should "belong" to the previously set Marketing Channel?

I'm wanting to understand if there is a difference between the data I can collect for a Marketing Channel related to campaign tracking code.The processing rules allow you to evaluate data coming from a query string parameter (e.g., www.mysite.com?cid=campaignName); or, I can also build my rule based on data in the Tracking Code.  Which is the better choice/best practice?

hello I am trying to obtain an authorization code that has enough scope to call Adobe Analytics APIs. The scopes specified in the documentation for this are:openid,AdobeID,read_organizations,additional_info.job_function,additional_info.projectedProductContext However, I get an error response "invalid_scope", because of the last 3. If I use only openid,AdobeID it works but then later when using the Adobe Analytics Reporting API the response says my API key is invalid and I suspect this is due to insufficient scope. My question is, are the scope permissions assigned to developers internally by our Adobe admin or is there maybe some issue, like scope names changed. Thanks Jeremy

Hello! I have a unique use-case that I've been trying to solve.  We have a public facing website, where we capture an identifier for a user through an email that contains the user ID in the link.  When a user comes to the site through the link, we can capture all future data as being tied to the user through the eVar, but we are unable to tie it to the user in the past if the date range doesn't include when it was set for the user. Is there a way to insert data into an eVar that was previously unspecified in the past that has now been identified?  I've looked at the Data Repair API, and it seems like when it's out of beta could assist here, but I wanted to confirm I wasn't overlooking a simpler approach in the interim. Thanks!

Hi!I want to know if bounce rate is tracking when user doesn't accept cookies policy and bounces immediately of the web site without any interaction. 

I am using a cookie banner to receive visitor's cookie consent before firing any pageview rule. I have made sure that no rule is firing unless cookies consent was given, still I can see s_lv, _ga and _gid cookies being set on website. Does these cookies get set by default if rules with AA extension and GA extension exist in Launch. Even though these rules are not firing.

I just looking to find the pages where derived most organic site traffic?  Thanks!

Hi ,We have scenario where Datalayer page attributes values is populating as expected on page load , but with the server call eVar is showing as undefined. We followed the standard practice of capturing the value in data element and passing it to eVar.  Note:  This works perfectly fine when we use _satellite.getVar in the console.  What could be the issue here? Thanks, Pradeep

I'm quite fresh in AA, used to be Google platform person. Has anyone experienced this?What could possibly be the reasons and how to fix this? Many thanks for your reply in advance, thanks! Best,Vic

Hello!  I have two questions related to a configuration issue we identified and corrected. We had an issue where an eVar was defined to only have a month expiration, when the ideal expiration should have been "never" (value was an ID that passed to identify a user on site that doesn't have authentication or other method of defining users).  We were using this to roughly tie Marketing Cloud ID to a GUID.  We started running into reporting issues where the expiration resulted in the value showing as unspecified in reports that had smaller date ranges. When an eVar is reset (for instance from "month" to "never"), is data reprocessed or is there a way to reprocess?  Or do expired eVars need to have a value passed again to them to capture that data?Is it possible to use segment builder to check the value of an eVar outside of the date range?  For example a value set in eVarx expired 15 days ago, and the timeframe applied to workspace is only 14 days, but s

Hello,  I'm trying to change the date granularity for weeks to start on a Sunday (thru Saturday) instead of the default Monday (thru Sunday) in Report Builder?  Is this possible?  Thank you!

Hi,Just wondering if there are any limitations with the Activity Map when clicking links that open in a new tab or whether it is as reliable as links which open in the same tab.Thanks
