Streaming Media: Send web data to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network with the Web SDK

You can now use the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK to send Streaming Media web data to Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network. This enhancement allows you to build more personalized campaigns and provide more personalized content, resulting in more tracking data to report on.

This change provides a unified collection method for web implementations across all Platform solutions, such as Customer Journey Analytics, Adobe Real-time CDP, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Event Forwarding. Previously, the only way to send Streaming Media web data to Edge Network was by using the Media Edge API. [Learn more to follow soon]

13-month expiration of saved cust_visids
March 20, 2024
An upcoming release of the Analytics Hit processing engine, targeted for April or May, will start enforcing a 13-month expiration of saved cust_visids. If the report suite has “Enable Visitor Stitching” enabled, this setting is used for finding the cust_visid for a visid_high/visid_low value with no cust_visid on the hit. Currently, there is no expiration of the mapping of a cust_visid for a visid_high/visid_low. With this release, if 13 months or more have passed since visid_high/visid_low has had a cust_visid on a hit, the mapping expires.
