Description
Improved IP-to-geolocation mapping
January 4, 2023

Our vendor for IP lookups, Digital Element, is upgrading to a new improved dataset (NetAcuity Pulse) for IP-to-geolocation mapping. Originally planned for October 2022, Adobe Analytics will adopt this new dataset on January 11, 2023. The new database will be more accurate than previous versions. Some IP-to-geo mappings will change/improve when the new database is adopted.

All Adobe Analytics tools (Analysis Workspace, Reports & Analytics, Reporting API, Data Warehouse, LiveStream, Analytics Data Feeds, and so on) will automatically take advantage of the new improved mappings. There will be no change in the format of the data in data feeds. Customer Journey Analytics data provided through the Analytics Source Connector will automatically take advantage of the new mappings.

Update to new NetAcuity carrier database
January 4, 2023

This update, originally planned for on October 5, 2022, will now happen on January 11, 2023. Carrier-related information stored in the carrier field in Adobe Analytics Data Warehouse and Analytics Data Feeds will change. Historically, the data format in that column has been <domain>:<ISP>. Adobe has maintained an internal lookup table to map these <domain>:<ISP> values into carrier names for reporting purposes in Adobe Analytics reporting tools (Analysis Workspace, Reports & Analytics, Reporting API, Data Warehouse, LiveStream, etc.). The lookup file (carrier.tsv) is also provided with Data Feeds so that you can use the same mappings.

This update enhances our carrier mappings by using a more accurate carrier database from NetAcuity. The format of the data in the carrier column in Data Feeds will change going forward. Instead of <domain>:<ISP>, it will contain a carrier name. Adobe will continue to use the lookup table in order to maintain as much continuity with past reporting as possible. Reporting tools where the lookups are applied by Adobe (Analysis Workspace, Reports & Analytics, reporting API, data warehouse, LiveStream, etc.) will benefit from more accurate mappings. Some mappings – especially for international domains and ISPs – will change more than others when Adobe adopts the new database. The data feeds carrier lookup file (carrier.tsv) will maintain the old mappings and add the new mappings.

The Analytics Source Connector does not currently map the carrier field, so carrier reporting is not currently available in Experience Platform, Customer Journey Analytics, and so on. Therefore, use of the new carrier database will not impact anything in Experience Platform that is based on data provided by the Analytics Source Connector.

Updated guidelines for traffic spike notifications
November 18, 2022
Former guidelines were based strictly on hit volumes. The new guidelines are based on a combination of report suite size and percent increase.
Update to device lookups due to Google Client Hints
October 14, 2022

The use of client hints in device lookup, originally planned for October 26, 2022, has been postponed to January 2023.

As of October 2022 it is possible to collect client hints with either the Web SDK or AppMeasurement JavaScript libraries. But client hints will not be incorporated into device lookup until January 2023. At that date, Adobe will begin using client hints in addition to the User-Agent when deriving certain device information for hits coming from Chromium browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This is in response to Google’s plan to gradually reduce the information presented from the User-Agent string in lieu of data passed via client hints.

As part of this change, Adobe will use Device Atlas for all device lookups related to User-Agent. Learn more

Default landing page
September 29, 2022
The new landing page that was introduced earlier this year will become the default experience for all users in January 2023. The current page will be deprecated and everyone will be required to use the new experience.
Anomaly detection auto-run conditions
September 29, 2022
Today, Anomaly detection auto-runs on all columns of time-series freeform tables. To ensure data is available for analysis and projects load faster, Adobe will change how Anomaly detection auto-runs. Starting October 26, 2022, Anomaly detection will auto-run only on the first metric column in a table. You can configure column settings to run anomaly detection on other columns, if needed.
Pausing scheduled reports in Reports & Analytics
June 8, 2022

On April 21, 2022, Adobe announced the deprecation of several features specific to scheduled reports in preparation for the previously announced end of life for Reports & Analytics. These features included the ability to schedule new reports as well as new data extracts.

In response to customer requests seeking an extension and to ease the transition from Reports & Analytics, Adobe has decided to extend access to these features until Jan 31, 2023. Please note that expiration windows for both reports and data extracts will continue to be limited to nine months; report and data extract delivery will pause at the end of this period unless the schedule is reactivated.

To reiterate, these features will be deprecated on January 31, 2023. Before this date, you must migrate your scheduled reporting to one of the other mechanisms available to you in Adobe Analytics. For additional questions or support, please reach out to Adobe Customer Care.

Pausing scheduled tasks in Report Builder
June 8, 2022

On April 21, 2022, Adobe rolled out changes to scheduled tasks in Report Builder as part of our performance and delivery optimization efforts. These changes included removing the ability to have scheduled deliveries “end after x occurrences.” In response to several customer requests seeking more time to explore and implement alternatives, Adobe has decided to restore this option in a limited fashion until Jan 31, 2023.

You can continue to schedule hourly Report Builder tasks and have them end after a maximum of 99 occurrences. Please note that the rollback only applies to hourly tasks; the “end after x occurrences” will remain unavailable for all other delivery intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly). Please note that this option will be deprecated on January 31, 2023. For more questions or support, please reach out to Adobe Customer Care. Learn more

SFTP upgrade
September 19, 2022
Previously, Adobe had communicated that Adobe would upgrade its Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) services in September 2022 to provide improved security for file transfer. Adobe performed this upgrade on September 20, 2022. When this change took place, certain SFTP client configurations were no longer supported. This impacts only data sent to or retrieved from Adobe Analytics using SFTP. The FTP protocol is not impacted. In order to avoid service disruptions, please ensure that your SFTP clients (code, tools, services) are in accordance with the changes detailed here.
Changes to how Analytics handles A4T data collected using the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network
September 14, 2022
In March 2022, Analytics changed how it handles some calls originating from the Edge Network that includes A4T data. Hits with A4T reporting content are modified so that they are not treated as Page View (t()) or Link Tracking (tl()) events. This logic is now updated to include cases where propositionDisplay events were not being modified as intended.
Automatic delimiters for list variables and list props in the Web SDK
September 14, 2022
List variables and list props now use the delimiters specified in report suite settings, unless a delimiter override is specified in XDM. See the list variable for more information.

These changes included removing the ability to have scheduled deliveries “end after x occurrences.” In response to several customer requests seeking more time to explore and implement alternatives, we have decided to restore this option in a limited fashion until Jan 31, 2023.

You can continue to schedule hourly Report Builder tasks and have them end after a maximum of 99 occurrences. Please note that the rollback only applies to hourly tasks; the “end after x occurrences” will remain unavailable for all other delivery intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly). Please note that this option will be deprecated on January 31, 2023. For more questions or support, please reach out to Adobe Customer Care. Learn more

SFTP upgrade
May 9, 2022
Previously, we had communicated that Adobe would upgrade its Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) services in May 2022 to provide improved security for file transfer. We have postponed this upgrade to the summer of 2022. When this change takes place, certain SFTP client configurations will no longer be supported. This impacts only data sent to or retrieved from Adobe Analytics using SFTP. The FTP protocol is not impacted. In order to avoid service disruptions, please ensure that your SFTP clients (code, tools, services) are in accordance with the changes detailed here.

Most Reports & Analytics features are available in Analysis Workspace. Since the release of Analysis Workspace in 2015, Reports & Analytics functionality and capabilities have been moved to Analysis Workspace and a threshold of workflow parity has been reached.

Pausing scheduled reports in Reports & Analytics
June 8, 2022

On April 21, 2022, we announced the deprecation of several features specific to scheduled reports in preparation for the previously announced end of life for Reports & Analytics. These features included the ability to schedule new reports as well as new data extracts.

In response to customer requests seeking an extension and to ease the transition from Reports and Analytics, we have decided to extend access to these features until Jan 31, 2023. Please note that expiration windows for both reports and data extracts will continue to be limited to nine months; report and data extract delivery will pause at the end of this period unless the schedule is reactivated.

To reiterate, these features will be deprecated on January 31, 2023. Before this date, you must migrate your scheduled reporting to one of the other mechanisms available to you in Adobe Analytics. For additional questions or support, please reach out to Adobe Customer Care.

Changes to how Analytics handles A4T data collected using the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network
February 25, 2022
On March 7th, 2022, Adobe plans to change how some Target-related data sent to Adobe Analytics using the Edge Network is handled. When using the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK with Analytics and Target, some personalization events were counted in Adobe Analytics as page views. This counting method led to inflated page view counts and additional server calls. With this change, personalization calls containing no Analytics content are disregarded. Personalization calls with A4T data record the A4T data, but do not count as billable server calls, nor does it impact page views or link event metrics.
