ECID not visible in debuggers

Question

Hi team,

I am currently in process of migrating the analytics tracking to WebSdk and while doing the same, I am facing a challenge for Experience cloud id (ECID).

I am trying to capture ECID via data prep method as per this documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/tags/extensions/client/web-sdk/accessing-the-ecid and followed the steps like going to datastreams, within mapping I provided a sample JSON payload put source field like xdm.identityMap.ECID[0].id and refer to custom eVar where I want to track it.

There are two questions which I wanted to cross check.

1. Although, I am able to see these ECID's in Adobe Analytics but I can't see them neither in any debugger like omnibug or in interact call, as I am expecting to see this ECID getting stored in that eVar where I am passing within that data prep method

2. Is this the recommended approach to capture the ECID's or is there any other way we can track the same.

Thank you

Hi @ishanchopra ,1. yes, that is a little bit of magic that happens on the Edge Network.You will be able to see the mapped ECID in your eVar when you create a log session in your Experience Platform Debugger and reload the page 2. yes, this is recommended since the ECID is not available through a cookie (well it kind of is, but it is Vase64 encoded) and may have to be requested asynchronously which may impact your data accuracy (ECID not yet retrieved) or slow down your requests (waiting for the ECID call to finish).
