This is simply never used and not processed. It is send that is all.

In terms of timestamp:

  • Documentation:
  • This is how it works:
    • If you are using s.timestamp then you will see a new query param ts .
      • If report suite is timestamp disabled then any hit that contain ts= will be filtered out
      • If report suite is timestamp enabled then only hits with ts= will be processed, any hits missing ts will be filtered out
      • If report suite if timestamp optional then if ts is not available then a timestamp will be generated when the hit isd received server side
    • By default if report suite is configured correctly (timestamp disabled or timestamp optional) then when the server call is received by adobe servers then a timestamp is generated at that time.
      • Actually a server side timestamp is always generated but will not be used see below for data feed
    • In data feed you have 2 columns:
      • hit_time_gmt: the timestamp generated server side and will be used
        • If RS is timestamp is disabled
        • If RS is timestamp is optional AND cust_hit_time_gmt is not set
      • cust_hit_time_gmt: timestamp provided in ts query parameter and will be used
        • if RS is timestamp enabled
        • if RS is timestamp optional AND cust_hit_time_gmt present
