Basic Onboarding Instructions for DWB Managed Services

Follow these steps to start the onboarding process for Adobe Data Workbench (DWB), a component of Adobe Analytics Premium (AAP).

These onboarding instructions are for customers implementing Data Workbench with a single report suite using Adobe managed services without consulting services. If you are a new AAP customer implementing DWB, the Adobe Onboarding team will be your initial contact. If upgrading from Adobe Analytics standard or from an earlier version of DWB, an Adobe Customer Success Manager will assist you.

Onboarding Info: What We Need from You

Adobe will contact you to:

• Identify a Primary User for DWB to generate a certificate specifically for that user on the network directory. The primary user will also act as the point person to interact with Adobe Customer Care.
• Identify the report suite to be loaded into DWB.

The Adobe Digital Marketing teams will then take your information to create profiles, set accounts, and deliver a configuration file for DWB.

Adobe Onboarding Tasks

• Adobe Customer Care creates a DWB licensed account. Adobe Customer Care generates a DWB certificate for the primary user.
• Adobe Customer Care defines the primary user as a “supported user,” the person identified for supported calls and problem resolution.
• Adobe Customer Care loads software package to the DWB license and software portal (SoftDocs/Software and Docs profile) to be downloaded to your organization.
• Adobe TechOps team prepares the Production and Development environments and their profiles (per contract) for DWB.
• Adobe TechOps team configures data feeds and profile management scripts.
• Adobe TechOps team creates and sends the DWB configuration file (Insight.cfg) to the Adobe Onboarding team responsible for on-boarding tasks associated with your organization.

After customizing your data feeds and generating credentials, certificates, and a profile configuration, the Adobe Customer Care will send your configuration file and credentials to take the next step.

Access your Custom Install Files

You will receive these setup files from Adobe Customer Care to install the DWB Workstation on your client computer.

  This configuration file on the client computer will include connections to your managed DWB servers.

For additional information, see the DWB Setup Wizard.

Connection to your DWB Servers

Your managed servers are identified in the Insight.cfg file that you receive from Adobe Customer Care and resides on your client workstation. Adobe TechOps will set up your servers and Adobe Customer Care will add references to these managed servers and profiles to the Insight.cfg file before sending it to you. (The Configure connections to server in step 12 of the DWB Setup Wizard documentation will be completed.)

Adobe Managed Services

• Adobe TechOps manages the infrastructure including network, data center, servers, and storage. Infrastructure monitoring and response to alerts occurs on a 24x7 basis for alerts requiring TechOps action. For other alerts, TechOps will notify Adobe Customer Care to coordinate with you.

• Adobe TechOps will perform maintenance and firmware updates for your managed servers. For maintenance causing downtime, you will receive maintenance window notifications from Customer Care at least two weeks in advance. Adobe TechOps will address immediate needs as quickly as possible. Notification will depend on urgency and will be resolved once the schedule is known.

• Adobe TechOps sets up a scheduled task to automatically manage data. Analytic feed data is moved into DWB for processing and transformation every evening beginning at 21:00 report suite time.

• Adobe TechOps will process other Adobe Managed Services include data backups, FTP accounts, data archiving, and data transfer when necessary.

• Adobe TechOps will configure the primary production cluster to contain three months of rolling data to be reset and reprocessed monthly. Updates to lookups (Geography, DeviceAtlas, Standard Classifications) will also occur as part of the reprocessing task. By default, the task runs on the first Friday of each month. If necessary, the schedule can be modified by Customer Care.
