Question

Support for qaMode in Node.js On-Device Decisioning?

Hi all,

The Node.js getOffers() method seems to be ignoring my QA parameters.

The docs for Node.js getOffers() method indicate that it conforms to the spec for the REST-based Delivery API .

My request object contains the request.qaMode value as described in the Delivery API spec.

const offers = targetClient.getOffers({
  // ...
  "request": {
    //... 
    "qaMode": {
      "token": "s_c15OYe-jBHIvKsmzAuL7zP_DDcGGb87aV06x_KWVo",
      "listedActivitiesOnly": true,
      "evaluateAsTrueAudienceIds": [],
      "previewIndexes": [
        {
          "activityIndex": 1,
          "experienceIndex": 2
        }
      ]
    },
    // ...
});

However, getOffers() seems to be ignoring this. (I'm 100% sure it's correctly formatted, etc. - it's created & populated using the same code that's creating the qaMode object we pass to the Delivery API endpoint in production.)

Can anyone point me to any documentation on this?

Hi @chrisraser

Seems there is no mentioned about qaMode in documentation, however I can see same issues reported before on github repo.

https://github.com/adobe/target-nodejs-sdk/issues/30

and I noticed one thing - in example they haven't used below parameter in qaMode object, though its there in type definition.

evaluateAsTrueAudienceIds

in this thread, https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-target-questions/php-and-adobe-target-delivery-api/m-p/635220

one of our advisor @alexbishop also mentioned to use without "evaluateAsTrueAudienceIds" parameter ..

It's actually only token & the previewIndexes array that are required within the qaMode object

I'm unable to check as I'm working on client PC which bit restricted but will give a try, meantime can you please check and see if this is working for you?

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion, Gokul!

I tried removing the evaluateAsTrueAudienceIds property, but the qaMode still has no effect. I also took a look at that issue on github, but when I use the request JSON suggested there, I get no Offers at all. (The options property is empty.)

I'll continue digging through documentation, but so far I just don't see much info on how the various request parameters interact. Clearly something is causing the SDK to ignore the qaMode value, but I feel like I'm going to have to go read the full SDK source code to determine what.

I'm hoping that adding more detail here will give folks more to go on, so here's the full run-down.

Hi @chrisraser Thank you for coming back to me.

When you say support request - I hope you raised this with Adobe support team only right? Does support team said anything further like - they will take this with product team? or any follow up?

We have an option here to raise this concern as Product ideas and AT product team will look into it. In case if you would like to raise - use below thread

Adobe Target Ideas - Adobe Experience League Community and just answer the below 3 questions.

Why is this feature important to you -
How would you like the feature to work -
Current Behavior -

And then I'll tag with right people there.

Thanks

Correct. I raised the issue with Adobe Support. They indicated that while they saw the same behavior I do, they were unable to investigate further due to the reduced staff availability over the holiday season.

I re-opened the issue today, but have not yet heard back.
