Not able to publish activity to target from AEM.

Hi Team,

I was creating one test activity on a page in aem for personalization, once I save it, author activity successfully synced to target but when I publish it, I am getting an error which says:

I did change the roll to the IMS integration but still the same issue.

I was seeing one boolean property "Hidden" in audience, synced from Target, even after removing this property same behaviour.

if anyone had faced anything like this, please guide me if anything can be done on aem or in target.

Thank you

Hi Umesh,

It looks like the issue is because of that "Hidden" property which is not recognized by Target when creating an audience, can you check with your other audiences if that "Hidden" property is being attached? Please be aware of the case, also I noticed you removed "Hidden" property but the error indicates "hidden" is in lowercase.

This issue is due to targetintegration API in AEM. Already have one ticket with adobe support, once they come up with a solution, I will post here.

Thanks
