Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform

We have events recorded in the profiles sections which are configured for 45days as a set. And, on rolling days post 45days, the events will be removed from the profile section. However, the events will be stored in datalake for 13months and can be retrieved as an when required as a whole set. Exploring from adobe documentation, there is a way to hold the specific events and can be achieved through SQL. Has anyone used this approach? Any insights or usecases will be highly appreciated. Thanks inadvance. Kind regards,Kiran Buthpur 

Hi Everyone, We have csv.pgp encrypted source files stored in Azure Blob Storage. These files are ingested into the Data Landing Zone using an API-based ingestion process.Our source and target schemas are different. We would like to reference a field from the source file (e.g., CRMID) and use it to update an existing attribute in the target schema (customer_status). However, the customer_status attribute does not exist in the source schema/source file.For example: If CRMID = 12345 (from the source file), then update the customer_status=moved in the target.Could you please advise on the best approach to implement this logic? Should we use Data Prep or Data Distiller after ingestion? Also, what steps or actions should we take to achieve this?Additional questions:CRMID is present in both the source and target schemas. Should this be the primary identifier in both schemas?Do we need to add customer_status field in the source? Is it necessary?If the customer_status field currently has

Hi Team, We are planning to shift to Adobe CDP from exist CDP, please help me to understand steps and what action should be taken initially. Thanks, 

Hi, I have an urgent request and would appreciate a quick response. I'm trying to export a dataset from AEP to a third-party system (Azure Blob/S3/SFTP). The records in these datasets contain PII data, and I cannot select which fields to activate for the destination, as that option is not available in AEP. How can I export the datasets and all the records while skipping the activation of the PII fields? I understand I can label the fields and create a governance policy to restrict activation, but will that restrict the activation of the entire record or just the specific field? Thanks!

  Hi Adobe Community,   I'm currently working in AEP and noticed something odd. While I can see the Audience ID present in the Profile Snapshot, the corresponding Audience is not appearing under the Audience Membership section of the profile.   Has anyone encountered this issue before? Are there specific conditions or delays that might prevent the audience from showing up in the membership view, even though it's clearly linked in the snapshot?   Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!   Thanks in advance,Indra

There is a requirement to split the historical adobe analytics data into two dataset. dataset1 having key events and enabled for profile. dataset2 having rest of the events(low importance) and not enabled for profile. is there a way to split the data ingestion using dataPrep or other method ?

Hey there! As we all know the profile snapshot dataset is an incredibly powerful tool! I would like to be able to do the 'inverse' and I was curious if anyone has figured out a method for this within AEP already.I would like to be able to query a given Audience ID, and get a result of all customers that are qualified for that audience. It could be a 'realized' state or it any other method, but basically giving me a return of all profiles that fall within the given criteria. I already do this via API for one off checks, and have audiences that I have activated to various platforms, but I would love to be able to do it right within AEP.Does anyone have a solve for this use case?Thanks so much!Tyler Krause

How to create multiple Test Profiles in AEP through API in a one go

Hi everyone, Issue:Due to certain issues, data from some files (corresponding to specific dates) is missing in AEP. We need to ingest this missing data, but we are concerned about potential data duplication in the dataset.Some information on the dataflow setup:Our source data files are stored in Azure Storage Explorer. These are incremental files, with a new file received daily. Each file is retained in Azure Blob Storage for 7 days before deletion.In AEP, we are using the Data Landing Zone (DLZ) and connecting to the Azure source via API.A dataflow has been created to handle incremental data loading from Azure to AEP DLZ via API, and it is currently running on a daily schedule.Current Setup (Example):On May 1st, we performed a one-time data load into the dataset via API. After ingestion, we disabled this dataflow.On May 5th, we created and activated an incremental dataflow for the same dataset. This flow has been running daily and continues to function without issues.However, dat

Hello everyone, we are currently facing a challenge and it is the following: my profiles are being excluded when exporting them to a destination.What could be the cause of this??We did an exercise with the same audience where it was exported to 2 different destinations, in one it was excluded and in the other it didn't exclude anyone.

Hi Community,I’m looking for guidance on how to properly delete a profile in Adobe Real-Time CDP (RTCDP).If I delete a dataset that contributes to profile stitching and profile usage, will that automatically remove the associated profiles from RTCDP?Is it recommended to use the Profile API to delete individual profiles instead?For context, I have already paused the Azure pipelines/workflows in Adobe Experience Platform that were contributing to the dataset I plan to delete.Would appreciate any best practices or insights on how to ensure the profiles are fully removed and not just the dataset.

AEP maintains datLake and profile store separately. dataLake can be queried using the dataset name. how do we query the records from profile store ?

We have multiple environments aligned with our application servers and there are few batch definitions created to process the data based on scheduled batch configurations. However, we are looking into if there's an API that can be used to trigger the batch process manually to check if all the datasets defined executes as expected instead of awaiting on batch to execute on scheduled time. Thanks in advance!

Imagine you are collecting data from your website via streaming using HTTP API. As people browse and do things on the site, that data is being collected. You wish to create audiences using that event data and want to activate those audiences to a cloud storage destination such as S3 or SFTP. However, you are aware you are unable to map experience event data within the destination connectors. This makes it impossible to activate the audiences to such destinations. Secondly, imagine once on the site, people can either authenticate (log in) or choose not to (unauthenticated/anonymous users). In cases where an individual arrives at the site multiple times in a month but does not log in, you want to collect behaviors of such anonymous users over time until they eventually log in. Once they do, you wish to connect their past behaviors to their current known identity.  How do you design a data model that allows you to accomplish all of the above? There are a few approaches

Hi, has anyone who has taken the exam managed to record or remember some of the questions asked?The practice test has only the same 50 questions reoccurring so taking the practice test makes you feel like you know everything but in reality you are answering the same questions over and over again.if anyone has records of the exam questions, could you share it?

Hi All,Has anyone had success applying retention to the AEP Data Lake. Not TTL from a dataset perspective, but at the DL level itself. A successful POC for us would be the ability to delete an old batch.Would the best way, be to use the following: https://developer.adobe.com/experience-platform-apis/references/catalog/#operation/listBatches

Hi everyone, We are currently trying to export datasets from AEP to SFTP server and data landing zone. However, we don’t have the option to select CSV as a file type during export. Are there any alternative solutions or approaches we can take to ensure the data is exported in CSV format? Currently we have options to share the files in JSON or parquet format, but we want to send the files in CSV format. Is it possible to request CSV support as a feature from AEP, if it’s not currently available? Thanks!

Hi, I have a schema in prod and there is an ID field in it(like CRMID for example). The source datatype given to us in INT64 and I have used 'integer' datatype in AEP. After doing data ingestion, I see few negative values and few positive values and all values look incorrect compared to source values for this ID. Example 723456789123 is the value in source file and I'm seeing -1234567890 and 1234567890 values in AEP after data ingestion.The mapping is done correctly and I don't see any errors in my dataflow. What could be the reason for this? Any suggestions how to proceed with this will be helpful.  Also, for our use case, we have not enabled Schema and Dataset for profile. So, incase if I update datatype, what are the next steps I can take, to get the old incorrect data also corrected? Or first to just test this process, how can I copy/ duplicate schema.  Regards,Ramyasri
