Hi All, I knew that all profile XDM schema fields can be activated to destination. wanted to understand if we can activate event dataset fields into destination ?

For activation take a look at Computed Attributes:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/profile/computed-attributes/overview

 

That's normally all that's needed versus activating a long list of events.

 

When they need more complex logic then people schedule Data Distiller SQL INSERT statements to populate profile-enabled, profile-class datasets. Running these once per day is about right as they are batch data.... plus you don't want to unnecessarily subtract from the overall 90 per day batch ingestion guardrail with unnecessary batches throughout the day.

No, Event dataset fields cannot be activated directly to destinations. Event XDM schemas capture time-series behavioral data (e.g., clicks, app events) and are not stored in the unified profile unless properly linked and ingested. Even then, event-level fields are generally unsuitable for activation, as destinations require static, profile-level attributes—not time-series data.

    I think this one is false. These are stored in the RTCP but cannot be activated. Could somebody confirm?

    Hi @sinrajna1 ,

    You cannot map Experience Event fields in the Activate audiences (Profile-only) workflow.

    Reference: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-platform/how-to-define-adobe-analytics-schema-attribute-while-activating/m-p/595203

    But you can export entire event datasets via the Export datasets workflow for supported destinations.

    Reference:

    https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/destinations/ui/edit-activation

    https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/destinations/ui/activate/export-datasets

    For partial event exports, use Query Service or Event Forwarding and then export the derived dataset.

    Thanks,

    Ankit
