Fixes, enhancements, and other announcements
-
Enforcement of dataset export end dates delayed to September 1, 2025
As part of the September 2024 release, Adobe set a default end date of May 1, 2025, for any dataset export dataflows created before that release. Adobe is now extending this enforcement deadline to September 1, 2025 to provide customers with additional time to update their schedules. Refer to the scheduling section of the export datasets tutorial for information on how to edit the end date of a dataset export dataflow. -
Improved handling of failed SFTP transfers for LiveRamp Onboarding
Adobe has implemented a fix for an issue affecting file exports to the LiveRamp Onboarding destination via SFTP. Occasionally, file transfers failed due to transient server-side issues, and temporary files from failed attempts remained on the server. These undeletable files blocked subsequent retries, as Adobe did not have permission to overwrite them.
With the fix, if a retry attempt cannot delete the temporary file, Adobe will generate a new file with an appended suffix ,attempt2, to ensure the retry completes successfully.
Experience Data Model (XDM) xdm
XDM is an open-source specification that provides common structures and definitions (schemas) for data that is brought into Adobe Experience Platform. By adhering to XDM standards, all customer experience data can be incorporated into a common representation to deliver insights in a faster, more integrated way. You can gain valuable insights from customer actions, define customer audiences through segments, and use customer attributes for personalization purposes.
Updated XDM components
For more information on XDM in Experience Platform, see the XDM System overview.
Identity Service identity
Use Adobe Experience Platform Identity Service to create a comprehensive view of your customers and their behaviors by bridging identities across devices and systems, allowing you to deliver impactful, personal digital experiences in real time.
Updated features
[Limited Availability]{class="badge informative"} Identity Graph Linking Rules Identity Graph Linking Rules can now be accessed by all customers in development sandboxes.
- Activation requirements: The feature will remain inactive until you configure and save your Identity Settings. Without this configuration, the system will continue to operate normally, with no changes in behavior.
- Important notes: During this Limited Availability phase, Edge segmentation may produce unexpected segment membership results. However, streaming and batch segmentation will function as expected.
- Next steps: For information on how to enable this feature in production sandboxes, please contact your Adobe account team.
For more information, read the Identity Graph Linking Rules documentation.
Query Service query-service
Query data in the Adobe Experience Platform data lake using standard SQL with Query Service. Seamlessly combine datasets and generate new ones from your query results to power reporting, enable data science workflows, or facilitate ingestion into Real-Time Customer Profile. For example, you can merge customer transaction data with behavioral data to identify high-value audiences for targeted marketing campaigns.
Updated features
model_predict syntax. Retrieve intermediate prediction results such as feature vectors and probability scores. The enhanced selection requires a feature flag activation. See Model lifecycle documentation for syntax examples and feature flag details.For more information on Query Service, please see the Query Service overview.
Sandboxes sandboxes
Adobe Experience Platform is built to enrich digital experience applications on a global scale. Companies often run multiple digital experience applications in parallel and need to cater for the development, testing, and deployment of these applications while ensuring operational compliance. To address this need, Experience Platform provides sandboxes that partition a single Experience Platform instance into separate virtual environments to help develop and evolve digital experience applications.
New or updated features
For more information on sandboxes, read the sandboxes overview.
Sources sources
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.
Use sources in Experience Platform to ingest data from an Adobe application or a third-party data source.
New sources
Updated features
mediaReporting, is now available for ingesting Streaming Media data via the Adobe Analytics source into Experience Platform. This field replaces the media.mediaTimed field.During a transitional period of three months, data ingestion on
media.mediaTimed fields will continue. However, at the end of July 2025, the media.mediaTimed fields will be fully deprecated and no longer visible in the Experience Platform Schema UI, and data will only be sent using the mediaReporting fields.If have you implemented the Analytics source to collect Streaming Media data into Platform before April 22, 2025, then you must migrate your existing configurations to send data using the new field group. This migration must be complete by the end of July 2025. Contact your Adobe Account Team for migration support.
You can now use basic authentication to authenticate your MariaDB and PostgreSQL sources on Experience Platform. Read the following documentation for more information:
