How to send subsets of data from one datastream to multiple datasets in AEP?

[davidslaw2]

Trying to do something that should be pretty simple.  Any help is appreciated.  We have a datastream configured from a website.  Services include Target, Analytics, and AEP.  There is only one schema for mapping.  In AEP, we want to send just 7 attributes from web events instead of all the attributes that get sent to Analytics.  Is each target dataset in a datastream all or nothing or how can we filter/subset the data to just send the needed attributes to the AEP dataset?

We figured it out:

1. Create a new XDM ExperienceEvent schema that has only the desired fields making certain the attribute path names EXACTLY match those in the datastream mapping
2. Double check that the 7 fields are defined in the datastream's mapping
3. Don't enable it for Profile yet
4. Create a new dataset and associate it to the new schema
5. Add the new dataset to the datastream as the first and only dataset in the AEP enablement UI section and Save.
6. Wait for data to ingest into the dataset and observe for any possible issues
7.  The new target dataset is now ingesting data as desired
