    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;and what happens if you have two (or more) s.tl() on the same page (without page reload an clear vars)? will it keep all the variables/events or always start "from scratch"?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>[AAE] Have Adobe Analytics Global Variables fire on all AA rules</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The variables set in the Analytics extension's Global Variables seem to not fire on all rules/rule types (see &lt;A href="https://forums.adobe.com/message/10208235" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Global Variables - Direct Call Rule&lt;/A&gt; ). This is similar to how it was in DTM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It would be great if we had some control over this (maybe give me the ability to say "fire for all beacons" or "fire for all s.t beacons" or "fire immediately before any beacon, but after other rules" or something), or by default they DID fire anywhere the Analytics Extension was in a rule. Otherwise, folks still have to resort to using doPlugins, or setting up a rule for global variables that somehow fires on all other AA rules/beacons.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;As a followup, I just retested this.... and it is still a problem. It doesn't seem to make a difference whether the "subsequent" beacons are s.t() or s.tl()... my global variables only get set on my initial rule. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;would it be an option to "move" ALL s.tl() calls to the rule setup? would mean instead of doing all the config stuff in the analytics extension, the extension provides both a trigger for download-clicks/exit clicks which could be used similar to custom link tracking. that would allow to setup the rule just as we do with all the other rules ....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've achieved this by stacking rules, and pushing all analytics track events down through a single direct call which has a number of different rules listening, in a specific order. Some rules are conditional, some aren't - so this way, I can control certain variables that apply to everything, and certain variables that are conditional. The last rule fires the beacon. Maybe not ideal, but it works well for us.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This also allows us to reference analytics variables in a specific order: for example, we set hierarchy variables based on s.pagename (with some modification), if I do this in the extension I cannot control the order in which it is evaluated and therefore I end up with incorrect variable settings, but by doing this in stacked rules I can easily control the order of evaluation and ensure the result is correct. Even if we had the ability to choose when the global variables are evaluated (s.t vs s.tl / etc), it would not address my requirement to control the order of evaluation as that would be unique to my implementation and each property.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can see this working and is a good solution in the current set up, but I still definitely would like a way to do it without having to make sure my "global" rule gets triggered for ALL rules/beacons. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;even if I move all s.tl beacons to rules, this is still an issue.... my global variables don't fire on my s.tl rule-based beacons either. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I do have the same issues on custom event calls. Solved it by a helper function, which sets all global variables on events. I once define the global variables in this function, and then call it in the AA Set Variables component (on every rule) in custom code and works perfectly. But yes, this should be handled without custom code.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;FYI I've never encountered this problem since using Launch in October 2019.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My setup:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Adobe Analytics extension: include all global variables to be set with all AA hits.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Rules: include variables that should be set in those rules.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Result:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All of my AA hits include my global variables, including s.tl() hits.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;the question is if you need a "clearVariables" at the end of all rules? otherwise I think it will keep the old variables/events and messing up tracking (eg. you set a specific event on s.t() and it will appear on the subsequent s.tl() call...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Correct, I don't use s.clearVars() because it's so destructive.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Instead, I use s.registerPostTrackCallback() like so:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;s.registerPostTrackCallback(function(requestUrl, s) {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; _satellite.logger.warn('s.registerPostTrackCallback() called');&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; // unset variables and events that are not needed after sending a beacon&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; // BUT LEAVE BEHIND variables that should remain, e.g. those that are set in the Adobe Analytics extension itself&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; var doNotUnsetVariables = [&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; // list of variables to keep between hits, including pageName, hierN, server, channel, etc.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; ];&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; var doNotUnsetVariablesRegExp = new RegExp('^(' + doNotUnsetVariables.join('|') + ')$');&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; // find and erase all unneeded variables: eVar's, hier's, prop's, products&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; var setVariables = Object.keys(s).filter(function (k) {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; return /^((eVar|hier|prop)[0-9]+|products)$/.test(k);&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; });&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; var unsetVariables = setVariables.filter(function (k) {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; return !doNotUnsetVariablesRegExp.test(k);&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; });&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; unsetVariables.forEach(function (v) {&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; s[v] = '';&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; });&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; // erase all success events&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; s.events = '';&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;}, s);&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure if there's a better way to clear variables selectively, but this works for me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;However, due to Launch's asynchronous firing, if I fire two s.tl()'s together, there's a very high chance that the subsequent s.tl() will send variables that were in the first s.tl(), even though I don't want them to be.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I only just got around to testing this and for me, the global variables still not fire on on an s.tl beacon (if I had set clearvars on the page view beacon- I suspect this might be the difference?).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;After testing, I can confirm- the global variables only fire on s.t beacons. They may hang around until an s.tl beacon, but they're not freshly set for s.tl beacons. If you fire clearvars after a page view, you will not have the global variables on subsequent s.tl beacons.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;FWIW, this question came up again and I just retested, and it really is problematic as it is. Take a look at&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://digitaldatatactics.com/test/testGlobalVars.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://digitaldatatactics.com/test/testGlobalVars.html&lt;/A&gt;, which walks through the problems, which essentially boils down to:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Global Variables only evaluate once, on page view, which is bad if you use clearVars, and particularly bad on a single page app.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Global Variables don't get added to linkTrackVars and won't appear in any s.tl beacons.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have plenty of workarounds, all of which basically come down to "don't count on Global Variables". Which means for something that I want on EVERY beacon, I either set it in doPlugins (making sure it's added to linkTrackVars), or I make sure every beacon has at least one rule that sets eVar15, potentially making either one rule with dozens of triggers, or dozens of rules that all set eVar15.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;LI-USER uid="12791353"&gt;&lt;/LI-USER&gt;&amp;nbsp;playing devil's advocate:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As the name implies, "Global variables" are variables that are tracked with every beacon. And Adobe's interpretation of "global" probably also means to track those same variables with the&amp;nbsp;&lt;U&gt;same values&lt;/U&gt; in every beacon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If a variable were to have a different value, it would be because there are certain expected conditions that result in the new value. So the "Launch-y" way of doing things is to have a Rule for such expected conditions, and that Rule has a Set Variables action to set that same variable with the new value.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So in your example, you can set eVar15 with a default "not logged in" value in the extension's "Global variables" section. But your Rule gets triggered by the user's login, then your Rule should have a "Set Variables" action to update eVar15 with "logged in".&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I see what you're saying, but... they're not tracked with every beacon. They're never tracked on s.tl beacons, and if you ever clear out variables (as is best practice) then they're not tracked on that DOM ever again. I think calling them "global" is very misleading, because they really are just "global, once for each DOM load".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which I really wouldn't mind if there were some other way (other than doplugins) to have a set of variables that truly fire on every beacon.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
