Expiration of allowlist EOL extension for legacy Analytics OAuth/JWT integrations
January 14, 2022
On May 25, 2022, the Analytics 1.3 API, 1.4 SOAP API, and Legacy Analytics OAuth/JWT EOL allowlist extension will expire. It was offered to provide customers using legacy Adobe Analytics OAuth/JWT credentials additional time to migrate their client integrations to Adobe IMS credentials. This expiration affects (but is not limited to) Adobe Analytics Livestream and Adobe Campaign customers who have not completed their required IMS migrations. Customers who are currently using legacy Analytics OAuth/JWT credentials via the allowlist extension and who do not complete their migration to IMS credentials by May 25, 2022 will lose access to Adobe services. Livestream customers can refer to these instructions on migrating their client applications to IMS credentials. Campaign customers can reach out to their Adobe account team about upgrading to the latest version of Campaign.
EOL for Reports & Analytics
January 4, 2022
Effective December 31, 2023, Adobe intends to discontinue Reports & Analytics and its accompanying reports and features.

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.
