The Reporting Activity Manager lets you see the reporting capacity for each report suite in your organization. It provides administrators with detailed visibility into reporting consumption in order to easily diagnose and fix capacity issues during peak reporting times. Following are some of the enhancements now available in the Reporting Activity Manager:
- Restrict subsequent requests: In addition to canceling current requests, administrators can now restrict requests for a defined time period. Administrators can restrict requests by Request, Project, and User.
- In addition to Utilization and Capacity metrics, the Reporting Activity Manager now includes more data about reporting activity: Complexity column, User column, and Connection column.
- All cancelations and restrictions made in the Reporting Activity manager are now visible in the Audit Log. Administrators can use the Audit Log to view what is currently canceled. Cancelations cannot be reversed in the Reporting Activity Manager or in the Audit Log.

Important notices for Adobe Analytics administrators
The latest release of the Analytics Hit processing engine, released on July 13, 2023, started enforcing a 37-month expiration of Purchase IDs and Event IDs (event serialization). Previously, Purchase IDs and Event IDs never expired in Adobe Analytics. Once a Purchase ID or Event ID was seen/used, then any future hit, no matter when, had that purchase or event marked as a duplicate. With the new processing engine release:
- Purchase IDs and Event IDs always expire after 37 months.
- If it has been 37 months since the Purchase ID or Event ID was seen, it is no longer considered a duplicate purchase or event.
- If you are “reusing” Purchase IDs or Event IDs from more than 37 months ago, they are no longer considered duplicates.

An upcoming release of the Analytics Hit processing engine, targeted for release in late June 2023 or early July 2023, will start enforcing a 37-month expiration of Purchase IDs and Event IDs (event serialization). Currently, Purchase IDs and Event IDs never expire in Adobe Analytics. Once a Purchase ID or Event ID is seen/used, then any future hit, no matter when, will have that purchase or event marked as a duplicate. With the new processing engine release:
- Purchase IDs and Event IDs always expire after 37 months.
- If it has been 37 months since the Purchase ID or Event ID was seen, it is no longer considered a duplicate purchase or event.
- If you are “reusing” Purchase IDs or Event IDs from more than 37 months ago, they are no longer considered duplicates.
This concerns customers in the London Data Center that have Data Feed requests and/or Data Warehouse reports being delivered to an FTP/SFTP service. The following IP address ranges should be added to your firewall configuration in order to allow access:

Adobe Analytics API and Livestream customers using Adobe I/O JWT credentials must migrate to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials by January 1, 2025. Adobe I/O will not allow new JWT credentials to be created beginning May 1, 2024. Customers using JWT must create a new OAuth Server-to-Server credential or migrate their existing JWT credential to an OAuth Server-to-Server credential. Customers must also update their client applications to use the new OAuth Server-to-Server credentials.
Effective December 31, 2023, Adobe intends to discontinue Reports & Analytics and its accompanying reports and features. The reports, visualizations, and underlying technology that power Reports & Analytics no longer meet Adobe’s technology standards. 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. This notice explains the end-of-life process.
On December 31, 2023, we will terminate many of the associated Reports & Analytics features, including, but not limited to: Scheduled Reports, Data Extracts, and DL Reports. After Dec 31, 2023, any scheduled reports will no longer be sent. In April 2023, any reports that were scheduled to expire beyond Dec 31, 2023, will automatically be updated and reverted to expire on Dec 31, 2023. In addition, you can no longer schedule future reports beyond December 31, 2023.
With the deprecation of the Device Co-op, the Device Co-op-related People metric is no longer relevant. On May 8, 2023, we will remove the People metric. At that point, we will redirect its data to the Unique Visitor metric to prevent projects, segments and calculated metrics from breaking.
Note: The People metric tied to Cross-Device Analytics is not affected by this announcement.

Starting with Web SDK version 2.15.0, we started populating Activity Map data when link tracking is enabled. This allows Web SDK users to get Activity Map reporting if they have link tracking enabled with the Web SDK and Activity Map configured in Analytics.
Enabling link tracking with Web SDK currently sends link events when a customer navigates from one page to the next. This is different from how AppMeasurement works and can potentially result in extra billable hits sent to Adobe.
Adobe plans for the Edge Network to support IP obfuscation for data sent directly to Adobe Experience Platform. This change benefits customers who send data directly to Platform for use in Customer Journey Analytics or other Platform solutions. IP obfuscation is configured at the data stream level. It supports removing the last octet or the whole IP address.
Note: Obfuscation does NOT apply to data sent to Adobe Analytics. Analytics continues to get the full IP. IP processing continues to be done in Analytics separately. In the future, Adobe plans to allow Analytics data to be obfuscated at the Edge Network level.

Over the next several months, Adobe plans to migrate all classifications across all organizations to the latest classification architecture. The last customers to migrate is estimated to happen in May 2023. No customer action is required, and no down time is expected. This new architecture has many benefits, including:

- The ability to use the Classification sets UI
- The option to use classification data in Adobe Experience Platform in the future through the Adobe Analytics source connector for classification data
Note the following changes that can potentially impact your organization’s workflow:
- When using the browser or FTP import, ‘Overwrite on conflict’ is always enabled.
- When using the browser or FTP import, the option to export immediately after import is no longer supported.
- The Analytics 2.0 API

The use of client hints in device lookup will start on February 16, 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 February 2023. At that time, 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
This is a reminder that Adobe will deprecate these features on 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.
On January 31, 2023, Adobe will roll out changes to scheduled tasks in Report Builder as part of our performance and delivery optimization efforts. These changes include removing the ability to have scheduled deliveries “end after x occurrences.”
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
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 adopts this new dataset on January 11, 2023. The new database is more accurate than previous versions. Some IP-to-geo mappings 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) automatically take advantage of the new improved mappings. There is no change in the format of the data in data feeds. Customer Journey Analytics data provided through the Analytics Source Connector automatically takes advantage of the new mappings.
This update, originally planned for on October 5, 2022, is now slated for 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 changes going forward. Instead of <domain>:<ISP>, it contains a carrier name. Adobe continues 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.) benefits from more accurate mappings. Some mappings – especially for international domains and ISPs – changes more than others when Adobe adopts the new database. The data feeds carrier lookup file (carrier.tsv) maintains the old mappings and adds 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 does not impact anything in Experience Platform that is based on data provided by the Analytics Source Connector.
