Hi,

I've just tried all links in this thread and they are all working for me. Can you try maybe with another browser or using another network?

What is the error you get?

Hi Florent,

If you click on the short link https://adobe.ly/2tDASWn​ for Deliverability, it will redirect you for the helpx.adobe and that's ok.

But then you try to access the Document for Deliverability with the tasks for implementation, or any other one, you can't (The requested URL /doc/AC/en/quickstart/deliverability/deliverability.html was not found on this server.).

Indeed, the problem is not within the links in this post, but in those ones the content of the post is redirecting for.

If you can access them, please let me know.

Thank you!!

Hi,

Can someone help me with campaign implementation, I wanted to know what is custom sequence and how to implement it.

Thanks!

Adobe Employee

Hi bharatk94,

To answer your question as what a custom sequence is,

By default the recipient table uses an auto primary sequence. To use your own sequence instead of the existing primary one, you create a custom Sequence.

This should be specified in the root element along with autopk="true"

and now to create it

- You have to write a sql code in SQL scripts in your campaign instance and save it as .sql.

- Then run the script.

- A custom sequence will be created in your DB.

- Now assign it  to pkSequence in your root element in your schema

Hi,

Can someone tell me the proper usage of sys-filter and when do we use it?

Adobe Employee
February 18, 2018

Hi Pankhuri,

Sysfilters are used to provide read and/or write access to schema data based on conditions

These filters are entered at the main element level of the schemas. If no filter is specified, all operators will have read and write access to the schema

For example

<sysFilter name="writeAccess"> 

<condition enabledIf="hasNamedRight('admin')=false" expr="FALSE"/> 

</sysFilter>

this gives write access to only those people who have admin rights, for more on this refer to Protecting schemas

Hi,

I came across a scenario where I need to make a 1:1 relationship between two tables, I'll really appreciate if anyone could help me with it.

Thanks!

Hello Bharat,

This is the syntax to create a link between two tables.

<element name="name_of_link" type="link" target="key_of_destination_schema">

<join xpath-dst="xpath_of_field1_destination_table"

xpath-src="xpath_of_field1_source_table"/>

<join xpath-dst="xpath_of_field2_destination_table"

xpath-src="xpath_de_champ2_table_source"/>

...

</element>

To create a 1:1 Mapping , you need to add an attribute called revCardinality="single" . By default it stays 1:N.

So you final syntax XML would be like this

<element name="name_of_link" type="link" revCardinality="single" target="key_of_destination_schema">

<join xpath-dst="xpath_of_field1_destination_table"

xpath-src="xpath_of_field1_source_table"/>

<join xpath-dst="xpath_of_field2_destination_table"

xpath-src="xpath_de_champ2_table_source"/>

...

</element>

Hi !!!!

Can someone tell how to implement A/B testing in campaign?

Adobe Employee
February 23, 2018

Hi Saveena,

A/B testing is done when you have different layouts in your delivery and want to decide which one would have the most impact. So you divide your target audience into groups and send out the deliveries.

You can find the implementation here A/B testing

Hi!!!

Is there any way we can add query inside javascript ?

Adobe Employee
February 26, 2018

Hi Saveena,

There is a querydef activity which can be used inside the Javascript in Webapps or Reports

Syntax goes like this

var query = xtk.queryDef.create(

  <queryDef schema="nms:recipient" operation="select">

    <select>

      <node expr="@firstname"/>

    </select>

    <where>

          <condition expr={<YourCondition>} />

    </where>

  </queryDef>

);

var result = query.ExecuteQuery();

You can read more about this in Data oriented APIs

Let me know if this solves your question

Hi,

Can someone help me with data importing activity, I am not able fully understand calculated and pre-process options provided. What are the use cases for the same and how to use them?

Thanks!

Adobe Employee
February 28, 2018

Hi Bharat,

Preprocessing is done when you want to decrypt or unzip an incoming file.

Calculated is when the file name is calculated from a variable like vars.filename or when there are multiple files with the same name and you want to select one with the latest date. 

Let me know if this solves your question

Hello,

I was looking for the on-prem installation guide for the V7 Adobe Campaign. The link https://adobe.ly/2uBnTSb​ just have the client installation related information. Where can I get the actual server side installation guide? Something similar to the V6.1 installation guide located at https://docs.campaign.adobe.com/doc/AC6.1/en/PDF/installation-v6.1-en.pdf

Thanks,

Tarun Ghosh
