A4T reporting when Archiving a Target Activty

[nzchris]

Hi community!

Just wanted to ask a question about A4T. When you archive an Adobe Target activity - does it remove all the historical reporting for workspaces created in Adobe Analytics when the experiment was setup using A4T?

Hi Christopher,

Historical Data will be Available even if you delete the Activity, so it will available when you Archive the Activity.

Thanks,

Charles

Hey Charles, I'm not sure this applies when using A4T and then creating an Analysis Workspace for the Target Activity. I just tried archiving an old campaign and then all the Analytics information zero'd out

@nzchris,

I would have expected the data to persist in Analytics not sure why it has zeroed out for you. Send us an email clientcare@adobe.com with the details and lets look into it further.

Even after archiving an Activity, historical data must show up in Adobe Analytics - since the metrics are all captured and processed in Adobe Analytics report suite earlier.

Hello, I have also found that the data zeros out after an activity is no longer live, no matter the state.

However, the data does not disappear, it simply moves, much like if you were to change the name of an activity. See the difference below - 3&4 were where the data showed up while the activity was live and some time after it ended, it moved into 1&2 with the new "(deactivated)" name.

 To make my dashboards more shelf stable, I've started using filters and segments for the experiences rather than pulling in the actual activity if that helps/makes sense.
