Audience Manager aam
Fixes and improvements in Audience Manager:
Audience Manager released an improvement to the batch data onboarding process. To prevent accidental file and data onboarding into target data sources owned by other partners, Audience Manager has added a mapping requirement between partner ID (PID) and the data sources (DPID) owned by other partners.
- See also the _DPID_TARGET_DATA_OWNER field in Amazon S3 name and file size requirements for inbound data files.
- Adobe-internal consultants and customer care should read Manage onboarding access for second-party data for information about the new mapping require improvement and how to request a new mapping
- It is not required to request a mapping for existing data sharing relationships. The mapping is also not required when onboarding data into target data sources that belong to your PID.
For self-help resources, see Audience Manager documentation and tutorials on Experience League.
