Adobe Experience Platform release notes
Release date: July 28, 2021
Updates to existing features in Adobe Experience Platform:
Data Science Workspace dsw
Data Science Workspace uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to create insights from your data. Integrated into Adobe Experience Platform, Data Science Workspace helps you make predictions using your content and data assets across Adobe solutions.
New features
For more general information on Data Science Workspace, refer to the Data Science Workspace overview.
Dataflows dataflows
In Experience Platform, data is ingested from many different sources, analyzed within the system, and activated to a wide variety of destinations. Experience Platform makes the process of tracking this potentially non-linear flow of data easier by providing transparency with dataflows.
Dataflows are a representation of jobs that move data across Experience Platform. These dataflows are configured across different services, helping move data from source connectors to target datasets, where it is then utilized by Identity Service and Real-Time Customer Profile before ultimately being activated to destinations.
New features
For more general information on dataflows, refer to the dataflows overview. To learn more about destinations, refer to the destinations overview.
Destinations destinations
Destinations are pre-built integrations with destination platforms that allow for the seamless activation of data from Adobe Experience Platform. You can use destinations to activate your known and unknown data for cross-channel marketing campaigns, email campaigns, targeted advertising, and many other use cases.
New features
Experience Data Model (XDM) xdm
Experience Data Model (XDM) is an open-source specification that is designed to improve the power of digital experiences. It provides common structures and definitions for data in the form of schemas, which allow any application to communicate with Experience Platform services.
For more general information on XDM in Experience Platform, refer to the XDM System overview.
Query Service query
Query Service provides the ability to use standard SQL to query data in Adobe Experience Platform, supporting a variety of analysis and data management use cases. It is a serverless tool that allows you to join datasets from the Data Lake and capture the query results as a new dataset for use in reporting, Data Science Workspace, or for ingestion into Real-Time Customer Profile.
You can use Query Service to build data analysis ecosystems, creating a picture of customers across their various interaction channels. These channels might include point-of-sale, web, mobile, or CRM systems.
New features
For more information, refer to the Query Service documentation.
Sources sources
Adobe Experience Platform can ingest data from external sources while allowing you to structure, label, and enhance that data using Experience Platform services. You can ingest data from a variety of sources such as Adobe applications, cloud-based storage, third-party software, and your CRM system.
Experience Platform provides a RESTful API and an interactive UI that lets you set up source connections for various data providers with ease. These source connections allow you to authenticate and connect to external storage systems and CRM services, set times for ingestion runs, and manage data ingestion throughput.
The following sources have been promoted from beta to GA:
