Current Adobe Analytics release notes (March 2025 release)
Last update: March 12, 2025
These release notes cover the release period of March 5 through May 2025. Adobe Analytics releases operate on a continuous delivery model, which allows for a more scalable, phased approach to feature deployment. Accordingly, these release notes get updated several times a month. Please check them regularly.
New features or enhancements features
a.localeThis update changes how the Analytics context data field a.locale is set when collecting data via Experience Edge. When data is sent to Adobe Analytics using Experience Edge, Analytics fields are populated based on a mapping of XDM fields. The mapping for c.a.locale references a non-standard XDM field, xdm.environment.language. This field will be updated to reference the correct field, xdm.environment._dc.language.
The mapping will continue to reference xdm.environment.language for backwards compatibility. For continuity, if both fields are set, xdm.environment.language takes precedence. You can view the full list of mappings from XDM to standard Analytics fields here.
Lets you generate a step-by-step guide for upgrading from Adobe Analytics to Customer Journey Analytics. This guide is tailored to your organization and takes into consideration your current Adobe Analytics environment, your intended uses for Customer Journey Analytics, and any time-saving tradeoffs your organization wants to make.
To start generating your custom guide, log in to Customer Journey Analytics, then select Upgrade to Customer Journey Analytics on the Workspace tab.
Starting in May 2025, Adobe will begin setting dimensions (custom variables such as eVars and props) which exhibit extremely high cardinality to ‘Data Warehouse-only’. High-cardinality variables have many distinct values; examples include timestamps or UUIDs. These dimensions will no longer be available for reporting in Analysis Workspace.
Candidates for this change are dimensions that exceed the low-traffic limits very early in the month. With these types of dimensions, reports in Analysis Workspace which are based on that dimension are not useful because the reportable data represents only a thin slice of the initial values that were collected.
Since Data Warehouse does not impose low-traffic limits, you can still build useful reports or segments based on these types of dimensions.
