General Availability
Additional information in the “Used in” column in the calculated metric manager and segment manager

The “Used in” column in the calculated metric manager and segment manager contains the following new reporting areas:

  • Report Builder: Shows the number of calculated metrics or segments that are being used in the Report Builder.
  • Ad hoc components: Shows the number of ad hoc calculated metrics or ad hoc segments that are being used in projects. These ad hoc calculated metrics and segments (otherwise known as “quick calculated metrics” and “quick segments”) can be used only in the project where they were created, so they are reported separately from the “Project” reporting area in the “Used in” column.

For more information, see Calculated metrics manager and Segment manager.

Description
13-month expiration of saved cust_visids
August 20, 2024
The August 20, 2024, release of the Analytics Hit processing engine enforces 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. Previously, there was 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.
Additional implementation detail XDM fields automatically mapped
September 11, 2024
When using the Adobe Experience Platform Edge Network to send data to Adobe Analytics, the XDM fields xdm.implementationdetails.name and xdm.implementationdetails.environment now always map to context data variables c.a.x.implementationdetails.name and c.a.x.implementationdetails.environment. Previously, some scenarios prevented these values from populating. Please adjust any relevant processing rules to accommodate the availability of these values.

EOL for Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4)
July 17, 2024

On August 12, 2026, the following Analytics Legacy API services will reach their end-of-life and will be shut down, and current integrations built using these services will stop working:

  • Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4)
  • Adobe Analytics WSSE Authentication

Integrations that use the Adobe Analytics API (version 1.4) must migrate to the Adobe Analytics 2.0 API, while WSSE integrations must migrate to an OAuth-based authentication protocol in the Adobe Developer Console.

See the Adobe Analytics 1.4 API EOL FAQ for answers to common questions and further guidance.

Migration to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials
May 11, 2023

Adobe Analytics API and Livestream customers using Adobe I/O JWT credentials must migrate to Adobe I/O OAuth Server-to-Server credentials by January 1, 2025. Adobe I/O will not allow new JWT credentials to be created beginning May 1, 2024. Customers using JWT must create a new OAuth Server-to-Server credential or migrate their existing JWT credential to an OAuth Server-to-Server credential. Customers must also update their client applications to use the new OAuth Server-to-Server credentials.
