Chart values can change throughout the day due to new data being synced to your Data Warehouse. Also, values for existing data columns can change due to rechecks. A recheck is a process that looks for changed values in data columns - for example, an order status moving from open
to shipped
.
There are a few different ways to check the status of your update cycle, depending on the type of user permissions you have.
Regular updates are scheduled processes while forced updates are manual processes initiated by you. If you have blackout hours - or a time period where MBI should not update your data - forcing an update starts a cycle that does not respect the limitations of the blackout period.
Numerous factors can add to an already lengthy update time. Certain replication methods, higher recheck frequencies, and the number of dashboards and charts are just a few contributors. Adobe recommends reconfiguring some of your settings and optimizing your database for analysis to reduce update times.
If an update is in progress, there is a link on the Connections
page that you can use to request an email notification once the cycle completes.
Discrepancies between Google Analytics and your database can arise for various reasons. Tracking not being properly enabled, users visiting incognito, and click events not working correctly are just a few examples. If your revenue and orders do not look right, use this article to diagnose the problem.
Adobe knows that seeing inconsistent data can be a frustrating experience. Try using the Data Discrepancy Checklist or Data Exports tutorial to diagnose the problem. If you are still stumped, contact support.
