Need Guidance on Updating Existing Mapping in Destination via Adobe Experience Platform API

I have an existing destination setup in Adobe Experience Platform where audience data is being exported. I would like to update the existing field mapping (e.g., map a new schema attribute or modify the transformation logic) using the API, without recreating the destination or dataflow.

@venkataak Yes, you can update the field mapping for an existing destination in AEP without recreating the destination or dataflow, but there are a few limitations depending on the destination type and integration method. 

Use the Flow Service API to list your existing dataflows

https://developer.adobe.com/experience-platform-apis/references/flow-service/

Steps to approach it using API:

  • Get the Dataflow ID
  • Retrieve the Existing Flow Configuration
  • Update the Mapping
  • Validate the Changes

Considerations: 

  • Recreation is not needed, but some destinations may not support real-time mapping changes. (verify that the platform updates are supported via API)
  • You must preserve existing mapping structure if the destination expects specific fields.
  • Make sure the schema changes are reflected in your dataset mapping.

Tip: Validate mapping rules before applying them in dataflow using https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/data-prep/api/overview
