Two AEP datasets - same paths - what CJA would do?

Assume that I have two dasets and both have the field with same path:

  1. xyz.path.FirstName

I know that in AEP that field would be taken into profile depending on the merge policy. However how that field would be treated in CJA. That would be two columns?

How would I know the source of the particular field (if it comes from dataset 1 or dataset 2)?

Hi ​@Michael_Soprano 
If both field paths are the same, then they should appear as the same field when you include the two datasets in the same connection. This would result in them appearing as a single column. 
There is a default dimension under “Metrics & Dimension” > “Adobe Metrics & Dimensions” called “Platform Dataset ID”, which is the ID for the dataset storing data ingested into Adobe Experience Platform.

You can add this to your Included Components and identify the dataset that the data originates from there.
What I prefer to do is to set up a derived field based on the ID value to return the user-friendly name of the dataset. 

You can also take it a step further and create a derived field for the individual paths based on the dataset ID, so you have two fields. One for each data set.

Hope this helps,
Dan
