Hello Bitun and everyone,

Nice to meet you all!

My name is Saurabh, and I am happy to be part of this group. My experience revolves around Adobe products since the start of my career. I began as a Web Analyst (Adobe Analytics), learned about Data Collection (Adobe Tags/Launch), gained exposure to various aspects of Digital Analytics, and recently delved into CDP (Adobe Experience Platform). I have a keen interest in learning more about CDP and am excited for the certification journey.

Thanks.

Hi @bitunsen-2022

How would we know if the segment definition is available

Let's say we have created a streaming segment and after how much time we see this segment is active /Available to stream data to platform.

As per document we have to wait one hour for segment to available for streaming

Do we have any place in UI or API to check if the segment is up ?

Bitun

Level 2

Hi @indra-2

As per my knowledge, so far there is no way using UI or API we can get to know the when the segment is active. While working with segments in AEP and working closely with various great support engineers we got to know that, usually it takes 2-3 hours to become one new streaming segment active and start creating audiences. I am also not aware of any defined SLA for this.

By the way - this question is great! but let us start following the agenda of this program as a team, so that we together can learn from each other's experience focusing on particular topic(s) at same point of time. Otherwise, if will be problematic for others to follow.

Hi Bitun,

How much Time it takes to update the dataset if i ingest data using Streaming API. For me it took almost 30 mins to see data in Dataset.

is this expected ?

Do we have any SLA for Streaming data ingestion?

I see batch API updated immediately with in few seconds.

Bitun

Level 2

@indra-2 - I need to find out the Experience League document which talks about this. Usually, what I have seen is, if you are ingesting data through Streaming (e.g. HTTP API), it talks 15-20 minutes to be seen in datalake (using Query Service).

Sometimes, in very rare occasions, I had seen records getting available in datalake after 30 minutes.

Team,

Please try to answer these questions:

Describe the functionality of Backfill which comes out of the box for various types of data sources.
A data engineer has setup a dataflow using AWS S3 connector pointing to a S3 bucket. Everyday a CSV file is copied to that S3 bucket. After successful execution of the dataflow (with Backfill enabled) for couple of days, the data engineer disabled the dataflow and then again enabled the dataflow after 5 days. What behavior will the data engineer observe - will it pickup all the files present in the S3 bucket? If so, then why?
A data engineer noticed that his is receiving CSV file containing order details of customers in S3 bucket. In that, one column is purchased datetime which is in "MM-DD-yyyy HH24:mm:ss" format. Which data prep function will be needed to convert this date to 'yyyy-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSSS" format: dformat or format ?
A data engineer has received a CSV file containing loyalty details of customers. In that file, there is a field "TIER" which has various values - Gold, Platinum and some other values. He got an instruction to transform the value "Gold" to "Tier 1", "Platinum" to "Tier 3" and other values to "Tier 2". How can you do that using iif and decode functions?
You have ingested data using batch in a dataset. Which API you should use to get the metadata ?
- Catalog API
- Data Access API
- Data Ingestion API
