Data and Updates Information
Why did my data change? datachange
Chart values can change throughout the day due to new data being synced to your Data Warehouse. Also, values for existing data columns can change due to rechecks. A recheck is a process that looks for changed values in data columns, such as an order status moving from open to shipped.
There are a few different ways to check the status of your update cycle, depending on the user’s permissions settings:
- Read-Only and Standard Users - Can hover over the icon at the top right of the page to see when the last data point was pulled.
- Admin Users - Can view the last data point and account integrations status icon. For more detail, navigate to Manage Data > Integrations to see the current update status and the time of the last completed update.
- API Method - Can retrieve the most recent completed update cycle using the Update Cycle Status API.
For complete details on checking your update cycle status, see Checking the Update Cycle Status.
What is the difference between a regular and forced update? regularforcedupdates
Regular updates are scheduled processes while forced updates are manual processes initiated by you. If you have blackout hours (or a time period where Commerce Intelligence should not update your data), forcing an update starts a cycle that does not respect the limitations of the blackout period.
Why does the update cycle take a long time? updatecycletime
Numerous factors can add to an already lengthy update time. Certain replication methods, higher recheck frequencies, and the number of dashboards and charts are just a few contributors. Adobe recommends reconfiguring some of your settings and optimizing your database for analysis to reduce update times.
Can I be notified when an update cycle completes? notifyupdate
If an update is in progress, there is a link on the Manage Data > Integrations page that you can use to request an email notification once the cycle completes. If an update is not in progress, you see a link to force an update to start instead.
