37-month expiration of Purchase IDs and Event IDs (event serialization) July 10,2023 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.
Migration to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials May 11, 2023 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.

New IPs used by Adobe Analytics Data Feeds and Data Warehouse egress in the London Data Center April 27, 2023 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.

Device lookup processes now use a third party for all device lookups March 3, 2023 On March 2, 2023, as part of the support rollout for client hints, we updated our device lookup processes to use a third party for all device lookups. Previously, we had used the third party only for mobile device lookups. As part of that rollout, some desktop operating systems were incorrectly labelled with the text “mobile” (e.g. “Mobile OS X 10.15.7” instead of "OS X 10.15.7 ").

During Adobe’s April release we will correct these names. Analytics and Customer Journey Analytics reporting will be updated retroactively, since their reporting looks up operating system name based on an ID which is recorded as part of the event data. Once the lookup value corresponding to an ID is updated, all reporting will be corrected, including historical data. For Data Feeds customers, the changes are retroactive if you are using a similar lookup process at the time of reporting. However, if you store the operating system value in your event data, reporting will be updated going forward only. See Operating System for more details.

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.
EOL of People metric March 9, 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.
EOL of Publishing Lists feature September 29, 2022 As part of the EOL of Reports & Analytics, Publishing Lists are slated to reach end-of-life in December 2023. You will not be able to create new or access existing Publishing Lists to send or schedule Analysis Workspace projects.

Backfill for non-production sandboxes When creating an Analytics Source Connector data flow in a non-production sandbox, the backfill in non-production sandboxes will be limited to 3 months. It will remain at 13 months for production sandboxes. N/A April 26, 2023
Row/column filtering for Analytics Source Connector streaming The Analytics Source Connector in Adobe Experience Platform now allows for filtering of Analytics data which is used to populate profiles in Real-Time Customer Profile. Row-level filtering helps reduce the number of events associated with profiles. Column-level filtering helps reduce the richness of the events themselves, thus enabling you to optimize the use of profile entitlements. This filtering applies only to data sent to Real-Time Customer Profile and Identity Service. Filtering does not impact the data which is sent to Data Lake for use in applications such as Customer Journey Analytics. Learn more N/A March 29, 2023
Partial support for Activity Map with Web SDK 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. Learn more here and here

 N/A March 31, 2023
IP obfuscation for Experience Edge Experience Edge will support IP obfuscation for data sent directly to Adobe Experience Platform. This benefits customers who send data directly to Platform for use in Customer Journey Analyticstomer 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, we plan on allowing Analytics data to be obfuscated at the Edge.

Notice Date Added or Updated Description
Notice: New IPs used by Adobe Analytics Data Feeds and Data Warehouse egress in the London Data Center April 27, 2023 For 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:
  • 130.248.244.32/29
  • 130.248.244.40/29
Device lookup processes now use a third party for all device lookups March 3, 2023 On March 2, 2023, as part of the support rollout for client hints, we updated our device lookup processes to use a third party for all device lookups. Previously, we had used the third party only for mobile device lookups. As part of that rollout, some desktop operating systems were incorrectly labelled with the text “mobile” (e.g. “Mobile OS X 10.15.7” instead of "OS X 10.15.7 ").

During Adobe’s April release we will correct these names. Analytics and Customer Journey Analytics reporting will be updated retroactively, since their reporting looks up operating system name based on an ID which is recorded as part of the event data. Once the lookup value corresponding to an ID is updated, all reporting will be corrected, including historical data. For Data Feeds customers, the change are retroactive if you are using a similar lookup process at the time of reporting. However, if you store the operating system value in your event data, reporting will be updated going forward only. See Operating System for more details.
Update to device lookups due to Google Client Hints February 27, 2023 The use of client hints, planned for February 16, 2023, was postponed in order to better ensure the quality of device lookups using hints. We proceeded with the first phase of the release for support of Client Hints on February 27, 2023. The second and final phase of the release was completed on Thursday, March 2, 2023. Learn more
Automatic migration to Classification set architecture February 8, 2023 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: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 GetDimensions endpoint now returns string identifiers for classifications instead of numeric identifiers. Numeric identifiers can still be used, but Adobe recommends using the new string identifiers where possible. Numeric identifiers can be retrieved by using the ?expansion=hidden query string parameter.

Important notices for Adobe Analytics administrators

Notice Date Added or Updated Description
Update to device lookups due to Google Client Hints January 25, 2023 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
Updated naming conventions for the Browsers dimension January 17, 2023 Starting with version 110 for Chrome, Edge and Firefox browsers, the company name no longer appears before the browser. This could impact reports if you have segment definitions based on the name of he browser. For example, a segment including a definition that "browser contains “Google” no longer identifies Chrome browsers starting with version 110. In addition, starting with Chrome 110, both mobile and non-mobile versions of Chrome are labeled the same. Previously, mobile and non-mobile versions were separately labeled. You can use use mobile segmentation and breakdowns to compare mobile to non-mobile traffic.
Pausing scheduled reports in Reports & Analytics January 6, 2023 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. Learn more
Pausing scheduled tasks in Report Builder January 6, 2023 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
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 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.
Update to new NetAcuity carrier database January 4, 2023 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.
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.
