pass an eVar as an array in Mobile code

[jaishal]

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question. We need to pass a specific eVar as array in the mobile code to receive the data in adobe. Here is my though process:

i need to see if a single customer is seeing 3 offers on our app, we want to capture all the 3 offers in a single analytics call.

What we have done is :

offers: [{code1:<offer code1>, type1: <offer type1>, name1: <offer name1>},

           {code2:<offer code2>, type2: <offer type2>, name2: <offer name2>}]

We are not receiving data in Adobe so seems to be an issue. What is the correct way of passing an eVar as an array in mobile apps? How the processing rules needs to be set up for that ? Any Documentation would be of great help

Adobe Analytics won't support arrays, all dimensions are simple text.. since you mentioned processing rules, I am assuming you are not trying to do this in CJA...

However, are you using the old ACP SDK, or are you using the newer AEP SDK and XDM Streams? Or maybe you have upgrade to XDM, but are just using the Analytics Keys to send data directly to AA dimensions or context variables?

We are still using the old ACP, and processing rules are pretty limited functionality, it only supports strings as well, there is also no "splitting" or processing the data into pieces.

However, if you are using the old ACP, or using the Analytics Keys to pass data direct to AA, I should be able to help, I have a lot of experience with Processing Rules and collecting Mobile App data, but I really need to know the end result / expectation so that I am leading you in the correct direction.

Hi jennifer, yes we are using old ACP trackState and trackAction functions to send data to AA

OK, so we probably have a very similar setup.

So what are you trying to do? Are you trying to populate your s.products variable? Or maybe set up List Vars? Those are the two most likely uses I can think of... but again, I understand your needs.
