Adobe Experience Platform

Hi, I am a beginner working with the Platform, and I am struggling a bit with the way data is ingested in datasets. Here are a few questions - any help will be really useful.What is the role of the _id field? It seems to exist in any schema, but I don't see clear examples where actually data is mapped to it. I am not quite sure how the platform uses it and, because of that, I am not sure what kind of info should be populated in this field. I know that the field is mandatory for Experience Event schemas, but I fail to understand what it means. I created data sets and ingested multiple rows with the same value in _id, and there was no error. The rows were ingested every time, the only difference being in some of the metadata fields, but not in _id. So, not unique in the dataset.I kind of understand the role of an Identity field when it comes to Record schemas, and them being enabled for profile. However, what is the role of an identity field for a Record schema not enabled for profile (l

Hi There,I used to have the names of all the props and evars show up in the debugger.Since I have had a new lap top these names have stopped appearing. I have logged in and tried refreshing with no success. Any potential solutions?How long will the debugger be in beta? RegardsRichG

After speaking  with our partners, we can confirm that data is being forwarded through the AEP Event Forwarding Platform, however the Monitoring UI is not showing the compute time or the error events. Is this a glitch that anyone else is experiencing or is this due to the monitoring UI being in beta? If it is the latter, when can we expect an updated version? Thanks in advance,Ty

Hi, In the mapping of my datastream, I want to isolate the value of a specific url parameter.Example: from "test=1&account=bitmap&step=abc", I want to map as output the value of account, so 'bitmap' in this case. I did it this way based on this doc and it works: But I have also unwished value if the parameter contains 'account=', not only equals 'account='Example:Output should be null because the parameter name is 'IDaccount=' and not 'account='.Any idea how I can fix this ?Thanks Robin 

Hi everyone, Wishing all a very happy and prosperous new year. I am trying to create an automation in Workfront Fusion to schedule a scenario that sends a notification to the relevant user whenever there is a change in the schema, profile, or audience in the Adobe Experience Platform. To achieve this, I am leveraging the Audits activity log.I am using the Audit Events endpoint (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/landing/governance-privacy-security/audit-logs/audit-api/events) and passing all the required parameters in the Workfront Fusion scenario. However, I am encountering a 403 error. The same credentials work fine for retrieving audiences.Below is the error I see when testing in the Interactive API documentation. Please help me if there are any corrections or issues with my approach. Is there any other way to achieve this automation? Regards,Alksh

Hi everyone, When uploading a CSV file using the Map CSV to XDM schema option in Workflows, I included additional data of a empty columns to complement an existing record in the dataset. However, instead of updating the specified fields, a new record was created. Why does this happen, and is there a specific configuration I might be missing to ensure records are updated rather than duplicated? Regards,Diego P.

Hi everyone, When trying to create an audience in Experience Platform, only the Batch type is allowed, but not Streaming or Edge. Why would this happen? Regards,Diego P.

What exactly does it mean when an email bounces and the type of the bounce is : ignored/timedout on adobe journey optimizer.  More specifically, what are the set of reasons that would cause a set of individuals to have timed out? 

We are converting a lot of cookie cutter sites over to SDK/CJA. We are using the XDM variable data element and update variable action in some of our rules. If I copy a rule that was using update variable over to a new tag property, will this create issues? What happens to the update variable action since it is now pointing to a different schema? Do I have to go in and reconfigure the XDM object in the Variable Editor if the schemas are structured the same and only have different names? For example, Property A has Schema A, Rule A and Data Element A (uses data element type of "variable" which points to Schema A). Rule A has an action of "update variable". I now copy over Rule A over to Property B. What changes will I have to make, if any, if Property B has a Data Element B (uses data element type of "variable" which points to Schema B but Schema B has same structure as Schema A). Will I have to do anything to the copied over Rule A which is now named Rule B, in the variable editor?

I'm trying to find a commerce event that is equivalent to the Analytics "scView" event. I don't see anything that is sufficient. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

Years ago, I was a Product Manager at MathWorks, working on Simulink—a tool that allowed engineers to design embedded algorithms without needing to write a single line of C code. I remember vividly being in a meeting with General Motors, presenting to some of the brightest engineers working on the next generation of hybrid vehicles. I was the nerdy kid in the room, passionately explaining how they could simulate smarter engine designs right on a canvas, bypassing countless hours of manual coding. After my presentation, one of their senior engineers walked to the podium. He smiled at me and said, “Saurabh, have you ever lifted and felt what an engine is like? We’re going to put this in someone’s car—it’s deeply personal. As much as we love your algorithms, we expect that you won’t take away the human element of testing whatever folks build on a computer out on the shop floor (their factory testbeds). We’ll test more, double-check ourselves, and ensure that it’s the absolute best fo

Can I use Audience created by Data Distiller to send it over to TikTok destination in AEP?

Recently when we make the Adobe Analytics Source Connection, our XDM schema (which uses the analytics experience template) is not having the display names updated? The data flow works. This just started happening in the past few days. We've even gone into the report suite and updated the names of a few variables to see if that forced an update and nothing. Anyone have this problem or know how to possibly fix this issue.  Thanks!

Hello,  I have a bit of an urgent ask. Is it possible to ingest attributes from the edge network into an individual profile class? So instead of the data getting saved into an experience event class we would need to map the individual profile class attributes in data collection. If this is possible, how can it be done? Thanks,Sachin

Does anyone have any example of ingesting a parquet file into AEP?  Documentation and Adobe Support says the parquet file must exactly match the XDM schema in AEP.  I am have a test file created to do just that.   However, there has to be a way to ingest a parquet file and use a mapping set.  I prefer to ingest data from client systems without requiring the client to create a specific format just for Adobe.

{    "data": {        "attributes": {            "delegate_descriptor_id": "adobe-analytics::actions::set-variables",            "name": "set-variables",            "settings": "{\"eVar1\": \"%dataelement%\"}"        },        "relationships": {            "extension": {                "data": {                    "id": "{{extension}}",                    "type": "extensions"                }            },            "rules": {                "data": [                    {&nb

Hi Team,What could be the pros and cons if we tracked the product information in custom XDM fields instead of standard XDM fields for all commerce events. So instead of using this,{ "productListItems": [ { "SKU": "12345", "name": "dummy product", "priceTotal": 123.45, "quantity": 1 } ] }what if we used this,{ "_tenatID": { "product": [ { "SKU": "12345", "name": "dummy product", "priceTotal": 123.45, "quantity": 1 } ] } }What kind benefits we can get and what will be the drawbacks and limitations?

Is it possible to create such a data structure in order to iterate over this in AJO? Everytime I create something I am not allowed to save it. 

Hi Team,Do we have the concept of temporary purchaseID with WebSDK as well like we have in AppMeasurement. Through this feature Adobe uses information from the hit to create a “temporary purchaseID ” if the hit doesn't contain the  purchaseID variable. This temporary purchaseID only applies to the visitor of the hit. The previous 5 temporary purchase ID’s are stored for each visitor ID per report suite. In case temporary purchaseID match any of the last five stored temporary purchaseIDs , the image request is considered a duplicate purchase.Does AEP WebSDK provide this capability or do we need to explicitly provide the purchaseID on every purchase event for serialization purpose?

So my case statement is to create a workflow to ingest from the data landing zone with API calls dynamically. The last piece is to get the MappingSetIDs from the mapping set endpoint Data Prep APIand use the schemaRef in the response and the Schema Registry response to extract the mapping Id. The concept works for some Schema IDs. I am having an issue with getting all the metadata because of the page limit. 

Hi ,I am trying to Implement Adobe Analytics with the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network, and create a schema then create dataset , then i was do setup for datastream ,and while mapping i am facing the error what was that help me out.

Hi Team, I am looking for ways to restrict users to save audience in the system. I am anticipating high number of dummy/test audiences to be created once it is enabled for user access. Is there a way to restrict this? One approach I think can be to let them create (enable 'Create Audience' button), but not let them Save (disable 'Save Audience') button. However, I am not sure if this is possible from UI (permissions?). Kindly suggest the right approach. Regards,Rohit
