Send profile attributes to RTCP using Mobile SDK

[Michael_Soprano]

How to do that? 

Than extension is only client-side: https://developer.adobe.com/client-sdks/home/base/profile/

Do we need to use Rules in Properties and send data to Streaming API?

In general, the Web and Mobile SDKs can only send data to Experience Event-based datasets, hence you won't see a Individual Profile schema in your Launch XDM data elements UI.

What you can play around with is using Launch server-side and do a POST to an HTTP API source you must set up in AEP.

If you put the profile data into the "data" section it won't require a schema to be picked up from Launch server-side. And in there, you can recreate the destination XDM schema using the data payload.

Note that if you do not have any person identity, you can use the ECID as identity. Else the Identity Service won't be able to stitch.

@bjoern__koth thanks!

I need to write these Profile Attributes into Data Elements and then send then into Streaming API?

[bjoern__koth]

you will have to

1. make sure your target profile schema has those fields
2. the HTTP API call you will likely want to do using the Adobe Could Connector extension, and in that case using Data Elements for the data you want to send in the body

How would you compare your Event Forwarding solution to this one one from DSN Adobe demo?

Just sending directly Post Request from Rules?

Hi @Michael_Soprano ,

As mentioned by @bjoern__koth , indeed you would need to setup a new source connection on your dataset to write to Profile. This works well, we have used it.

However, please do not use your master profile dataset, but create a new schema/dataset for specific profile attributes you want to write. Why? Because, during specific profile attributes update, you won't be sending other profile attributes (already existing). Therefore, while creating the merged Profile overview, the system will use the latest (empty values) profile attributes causing incomplete profile. 

I hope it helps, Thanks!
