Specify authSpecName
Once you have entered your connection specification ID, you must then specify the authSpecName that you are using for your base connection. Depending on your choice, this could be either OAuth 2 Refresh Code or Basic Authentication. Once you specify your authSpecName, you must then include its required credentials in your environment. For example, if you specify authSpecName as OAuth 2 Refresh Code, then you must provide the required credentials for OAuth 2, which are host and accessToken.
Specify sourceSpec
With your authentication specification parameters added, you must next add required properties from your source specification. You can find the required properties in sourceSpec.spec.properties. In the case of the MailChimp Members example below, the only required property is listId, which means listId and it’s corresponding ID value to your Postman environment.
"spec": {
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"type": "object",
"description": "Define user input parameters to fetch resource values.",
"properties": {
"listId": {
"type": "string",
"description": "listId for which members need to fetch."
}
}
}
Once your authentication and source specification parameters are provided, you can start populating the rest of your environment variables, see the table below for reference:
NOTEflowSpecificationId and targetConnectionSpecId, which are fixed values.| Parameter | Description | Example |

authorizationToken | The authorization token required to complete calls to Experience Platform APIs. See the tutorial on authenticating and accessing Experience Platform APIs for information on how to retrieve your authorizationToken. | Bearer authorizationToken |
schemaId | In order for the source data to be used in Experience Platform, a target schema must be created to structure the source data according to your needs. For detailed steps on how to create a target XDM schema, see the tutorial on creating a schema using the API. | https://ns.adobe.com/{TENANT_ID}.schemas.0ef4ce0d390f0809fad490802f53d30b |
schemaVersion | The unique version that corresponds with your schema. | application/vnd.adobe.xed-full-notext+json; version=1 |
schemaAltId | The meta:altId that is returned alongside the schemaId when creating a new schema. | _{TENANT_ID}.schemas.0ef4ce0d390f0809fad490802f53d30b |
dataSetId | For detailed steps on how to create a target dataset, see the tutorial on creating a dataset using the API. | 5f3c3cedb2805c194ff0b69a |
mappings | Mapping sets can be used to define how data in a source schema maps to that of a destination schema. For detailed steps on how to create a mapping, see the tutorial on creating a mapping set using the API. | [{"destinationXdmPath":"person.name.firstName","sourceAttribute":"email.email_id","identity":false,"version":0},{"destinationXdmPath":"person.name.lastName","sourceAttribute":"email.activity.action","identity":false,"version":0}] |
mappingId | The unique ID that corresponds with your mapping set. | bf5286a9c1ad4266baca76ba3adc9366 |
connectionSpecId | The connection specification ID that corresponds with your source. This is the ID that you generated after creating a new connection specification. | 2e8580db-6489-4726-96de-e33f5f60295f |
flowSpecificationId | The flow specification ID of RestStorageToAEP. This is a fixed value. | 6499120c-0b15-42dc-936e-847ea3c24d72 |
targetConnectionSpecId | The target connection ID of the data lake where ingested data lands in. This is a fixed value. | c604ff05-7f1a-43c0-8e18-33bf874cb11c |
verifyWatTimeInSecond | The designated time interval to follow when checking for the completion of a flow run. | 40 |
startTime | The designated start time for your dataflow. The start time must be formatted in unix time. | 1597784298 |
Once you have provided all of your environment variables, you can start running the collection using the Postman interface. In the Postman interface, select the ellipses (…) beside Sources SSSs Verification Collection and then select Run collection.
The Runner interface appears, allowing you to configure the run order of your dataflow. Select Run SSS Verification Collection to run the collection.
