Updated features

Feature

Description

Legacy Editor deprecated

The legacy editor has been deprecated and is no longer accessible for use. In its place, you can use the enhanced features of the Query Editor to write, validate, and run your queries.

Query Run Delay

Stay in control of your compute hours by setting alerts for delays to your query runs. You can choose to receive alerts if a query status does not change state after a specific period of time. Just set your desired delay time in the Platform UI to stay informed on your query progress. To learn how to set this alert in the UI, refer to the query schedules documentation or the guide to inline query actions.

Streamlined query log inventory

You can now use an improved troubleshooting efficiency and task monitoring with a streamlined query logs UI:

• The Platform UI now excludes all “System Queries” from logs tab by default.
• View system queries by unchecking Exclude system queries.

Use the streamlined query logs UI for a more focus view that helps you quickly identify and analyze the relevant logs.

Database selector

Use the new database selector dropdown menu to conveniently access Customer Journey Analytics data views from Power BI or Tableau. You can now select your desired database directly from the Platform UI for a more seamless integration of your BI tools.

You can create audiences through segment definitions or other sources from your Real-Time Customer Profile data. These audiences are centrally configured and maintained on Platform, and are readily accessible by any Adobe solution.
