Disabling Adobe Analytics Source Connector / Switch to Datastream

Hello @erikk21878712 ,

As far as I know, when you set up the Analytics Source Connector, you define a target schema — either the default schema or a custom schema. In this process, you don’t directly select a dataset, but the system automatically creates or uses a dataset based on the chosen schema.

Now that you want to push data via the WebSDK (Datastream), you need to make sure that the Datastream uses the same schema as the one defined in your Analytics Source Connector configuration.

To do this:

1. First, check which schema (default or custom) was used in the Analytics Source Connector.

2. In your Datastream configuration and your WebSDK data collection setup, select this same schema so the incoming data matches the structure expected by the existing dataset

Best practice:

It is generally recommended to use a custom schema based on the Analytics Field Group. This is helpful as your implementation evolves and you introduce custom fields — a custom schema offers better flexibility and scalability.

Even if you decide to send data to a new custom schema, it’s okay — data from different schemas and datasets can still be merged in Real-Time Customer Profile (RTCP), as long as the profiles share a common identity namespace (like ECID, CRM ID, etc.).

To disable the Analytics Source Connector:

Deleting the connector will stop the data flow, but it will not impact the historical data already stored in the dataset.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Parvesh
