Release Date: October 20, 2016

Marketing Cloud ID Service (Updated 10/28) {#mcvid}

This release increments the ID service code to version 1.9.0. It includes the following features, bug fixes, and other changes.

Important

Using Marketing Cloud ID service Library 1.9.0+, ID synching will begin for Adobe Advertising Cloud by default. SeeUnderstanding ID Synchronization and Match Rates.

  • Fixed a bug that passed [!DNL Audience Manager] unique user IDs (AAMUUIDs) as [!DNL Marketing Cloud] IDs to the ID service. (MCID-203)
  • If time-to-live (TTL) for an AMCV cookie has expired, the ID service will still return that information to the server as long as the cookie contains a [!DNL Marketing Cloud] ID. After this call, the ID service makes an asynchronous call to update the cookie. This helps improve performance because the ID service doesn't have to wait for a server response. It can use existing AMCV cookie values and then request an update. (MCID-204)
  • (Updated 10/28, 11/4) The ID service automatically synchronizes [!DNL Marketing Cloud] IDs (MIDs) with [!DNL Adobe Advertising Cloud] and other internal [!DNL Adobe] domains directly on the page. Automatic synchronization is enabled for all existing and new accounts. This helps improve match rates for [!DNL Advertising Cloud]. Applies to VisitorAPI.js version 1.9, or higher. See also, Understanding ID Synchronization and Match Rates. (MCID-152, MCID-184)

See Marketing Cloud ID Services product documentation.

Adobe Mobile Services {#mobile}

Feature Description

Target

Mobile audiences, activities, and content are now accessible across Target and Mobile Services regardless of where they were created.

Postbacks

Added a new postback type: PII

The PII postback type enables the user to send data tagged with CollectPII calls to 3rd party endpoints.

Push Messaging

Push certificate expiration management allows you to see the expiration date of your push certificates and also receive reminders to update the certificate before it expires. For more information, see Troubleshooting Push Messaging .

Analytics Reporting

Dimension and metric permissions set in Adobe Analytics now apply to Mobile Services. For more information, see Administrative Product Changes Coming in October 2016 .

SDK

Xamarin, Unity, and PhoneGap plugins are updated to work with iOS and Android SDKs version 4.13.1.

Mobile App Admin

In order to modify settings in Mobile Services, users were previously required to be added to a group called Mobile App Admin in Adobe Analytics. This has changed and users now only need to be a part of a group that has Mobile App Admin selected in the Tools section of the group's settings. Because of this change, all Analytics Admins are now Mobile App Admins.

See Adobe Mobile Services for product documentation. To see the release notes for previous releases, expand Previous Release Notes in the left pane.

Analytics

Notice Date Added or Updated Description

Removed restrictions on how Analytics handles technology data

October 15, 2016

Previously, Adobe Analytics did not record technology data for mobile web traffic. Meaning, reports in the Visitor Profile > Technology section in Reports & Analytics did not receive data for mobile web hits. Beginning with this release, the following reports will populate from mobile web traffic:

  • Java
  • JavaScript / JavaScript Version
  • Color Depth
  • Resolution
  • Browser Width
  • Browser Height
  • Referrer Type (typed / bookmarked)

Schedule Traffic Spike Deadline

If you have report suites that you expect to receive increased traffic during the holiday season (particularly Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, or New Year's), please schedule traffic spikes as soon as possible.

See Importance of Scheduling Traffic Spikes for more information.

Ad Hoc Analysis - Java 1.7.

September 15, 2016

In the upcoming October 2016 release, you must use Java 1.7 or later to launch Ad Hoc Analysis.

If you use Java version 1.6 or earlier, you will see an error message, "Unable to Launch the Application." (On the error message, you can view the Java version that you are using by clicking Details , then click the Console tab.)

Analytics API 1.3 deprecation.

September 15, 2016

Analytics APIs version 1.3 will be officially deprecated as of September 15, 2016. To prevent disruption, Adobe recommends upgrading to the latest API versions as soon as possible.

See the API Support Policy page for more information.

Analytics for Target processing time increased by 30 seconds.

August 19, 2016

To achieve a higher visitor match rate between Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target, we have increased the amount of time data is held in processing from 30 seconds to 60 seconds. This change only affects customers using the Marketing Cloud ID service, AppMeasurement for Analytics, and who have Target implemented on their pages. (AN-128584)

Legacy Alerts

August 18, 2016

Several features of existing Analytics alerts will not be included in the new Alert Manager , which will be released (as part of Analysis Workspace ) in the Fall of 2016.

Legacy Alerts Migration lists the deprecated alert features and some alert features that will be migrated to the new Alert Manager in a different form.

Data Warehouse request settings

August 18, 2016

In the September 2016 Maintenance Release, Data Warehouse will add a new request setting that will enable Data Warehouse to send empty files when there is no data in the report. This settings will be enabled by default.

AppMeasurement 1.6.3 and Visitor API 1.6.0

August 4, 2016

Version 1.6.0 of the Marketing Cloud ID service requires AppMeasurement for JavaScript version 1.6.3 or higher. If you want to upgrade to version 1.6.0 of the Marketing Cloud ID service, please make sure you are using AppMeasurement code verison 1.6.3 or higher.

AppMeasurement for Flash - Security update

April 21, 2016

Adobe has released a security update APSB16-13 for the AppMeasurement for Flash library. This update resolves an important vulnerability in the library, applicable only when debugTracking is enabled, that could be abused to conduct DOM-based XSS attacks .

Note: This issue affects AppMeasurement for Flash only when debugTracking has been enabled ( debugTracking is disabled in the default configuration). If affected, we strongly advise you to disable debugTracking immediately. Here is some sample code:

public var s:AppMeasurement; s = new AppMeasurement(); s.debugTracking = false; // set to false or remove line                          // for default "disabled” behavior
</codeblock> <p>Affected versions are <span class="term"> AppMeasurement for Flash </span> version 4.0 and earlier on all platforms. </p> <p>Note:  Due to security reasons, we will no longer be distributing an AS2 version of <i>AppMeasurement for Flash</i>. We will continue to support data collection from existing AS2-based projects. However, we highly recommend that customers upgrade their implementations to AS3 and incorporate the latest security features of <i>AppMeasurement for Flash</i>. </p> <p> <span class="term"> AppMeasurement for Flash </span> customers affected by this issue must rebuild projects with the updated library available for download from the Analytics Console <a href="https://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flex/4.0/UsingFlashBuilder/WS6f97d7caa66ef6eb1e63e3d11b6c4d0d21-7feb.html#WS6f97d7caa66ef6eb1e63e3d11b6c4d0d21-7f88" format="http" scope="external"> More… </a> (AN-121780) </p> </td> 

SiteCatalyst 14, ExcelClient, etc. end of life in October 2016

March 17, 2016

SiteCatalyst 14, ExcelClient, and a number of other legacy components will reach end-of-life in October 2016.

This means that all access to the SiteCatalyst 14 user interface and several related features will be removed. To prepare for this event, view this list of affected components, along with required user actions and suggestions on how to move forward with alternatives.

Changes to visit processing for timestamped data

March 17, 2016

In June, we will begin improving to the way visits are calculated for Timestamps Required and Timestamps Optional report suites. These changes will primarily affect data collected through Mobile SDKs and will result in lower overall visit counts going forward, in certain situations.

Learn more in Compare visits and mobile app launches .

To see which report suites might be affected, see Timestamps Optional .

Data processing change between February and March MRs

February 18, 2016

Sometime between the February and March Maintenance Releases, the following Analytics data processing change was implemented:

Previously, when using the Product variable without having an event set, the event would default to "ProdView", set early in processing (before processing rules take effect). The event is now set after the processing rules to avoid conflicts with how mobile data processing works. This change has the following downstream effects:

  • ProdViews are no longer inflated because of hits where context data is generating events (especially in Mobile). Going forward, an event will be set at the time in data processing when the ProdView would have been set (without a set event.)
  • Any VISTA rule that has logic depending on a ProdView event being set on a hit might need to be reviewed to see if changes to the VISTA rule are needed. This is because ProdView events might be set on fewer hits than they previously were, because ProdView is set earlier in the processing pipeline. This change may or may not impact what is desired from the VISTA rule.

Elimination of hashed values in Data Feeds

February 18, 2016

In certain circumstances, hashed values ( ::hash::&lt;hash value&gt; ) may appear in data feeds for the following types of variables:

  • Merchandising eVars in post_product_list
  • List Vars (called post_mvvar1-3 , post_tnt , and post_survey )
  • Marketing Channel details. The tracking code for the Marketing Channels reports (called va_finder_detail and va_closer_detail )

A change is being implemented that eliminates hashed values over time, and replaces them with actual values.

Note: The max size of any particular value is 100 bytes or 255 bytes. For fields that support multiple values, such as post_product_list and List Vars, the max size of those fields is 64k. Therefore, if you are passing in a large number of values, some of the values may be lost as the field will be truncated at 64k.

Web Services v 1.2 API end-of-life

February 18, 2016

Version 1.2 of the Web Services API was officially deprecated on February 20, 2014. It will reach end-of-life on September 15, 2016. At that time, Adobe will remove the ability of the API servers to respond to version 1.2 API requests. Any API requests made to the https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.2 endpoint will return a 410 error. Customers have until the end-of-life date to upgrade from the version 1.2 API to the version 1.4 API to prevent an outage in their API applications.

Analytics APIs version 1.3 will be officially deprecated as of September 15, 2016. To prevent disruption, Adobe recommends upgrading to the latest API versions as soon as possible.

See the API Support Policy page for more information.

Updates to Permission Management

Admin > User Management > Groups

Administrator Access

Group membership is no longer required for administrators. By default, administrators now have access to all items (tools, dimensions, and metrics), as well as Web Service access, Report Builder, Activity Map, and Ad Hoc Analysis.

Custom Groups

Predefined groups are no longer used. All predefined groups have been replaced by custom groups of the same name. Administrators can delete these groups and create their own, as all settings that were previously available in the predefined groups are available for customization.

Use groups to grant or restrict access for non-administrative users. For example, you can delete all the migrated groups and replace them with a single group that grants access to Report Builder, Activity Map, Ad-Hoc Analysis, Reports & Analytics Access, Analysis Workspace Access, and so on.

See Changes to All Report Access below for more information.

Group Permissions

The Report Access section in Groups > Add New User Group has been streamlined to four categories, which enable you to customize permissions at a granular level. The new permission categories include:

  • Analytics Tools: Formerly Company Tools , includes General items (billing, logs, etc.), Company Management, Tools, Web Service Access, Report Builder, and Data Connectors integration. Privileges previously obtained from predefined groups are in this category. Existing, predefined groups have been added to this category.
  • Report Suite Tools: Includes report suite management, tools and reports, dashboard items, and so on.
  • Metrics: Includes traffic, conversion, custom events, solution events, and so on.
  • Dimensions:
    • eVars 1-250 are individually permissioned.
    • All traffic reports are dimensions.
    • Video & Mobile reports are dimensions, as well as other Analytics solutions reports (Experience Manager, Advertising Cloud, Social, and do on.)
    • Pathing reports are available if a user has access to the parent dimension.
  • All current dimensions and metrics within custom groups have been automatically migrated to the new categories. If an existing group has metrics enabled, it will be given all newly permissionable dimensions (eVars and content aware) and metrics by default.

  • Classifications Importer (formerly, SAINT) permissions: Access to classifications is determined by access to the variable on which the classification is based.

For more information, see Administrative Product Changes for Fall 2016 .

Changes to All Report Access

As part of the permission changes, a custom group has replaced the All Report Access predefined group. This custom group has access to:

  • All Dimensions
  • All Metrics
  • All Report Suites
  • Channel Report Permission
  • Anomaly Detection Report Permission
  • Real-Time Report Permission
  • Analysis Workspace Access Permission
  • Web Service Access
  • Reports & Analytics Access
  • Create/Curate Projects
  • Metric Creation
  • Segment Creation

At release, all customers will be migrated. Every user that used to be in All Report Access will be added to the new custom group.

Defunct Traffic Reports have been removed

These defunct reports will be removed:

  • Monthly Summary
  • Visitor Home Page
  • Netscape Plugins
  • Key Visitors
  • Pages Viewed By Key Visitors
  • Visitor Snapshot

[!DNL Analytics] Administration API 1.4 Updates {#section_49B92A9AB47947D28B0DF5BEF6441F67}

As part of the Analytics permission enhancements, all of the group related, permissions APIs will accept and return (where appropriate) the group_id. This includes:

For more information, See Permission API Changes for October in the Developer Connection.

For convenience, you can still use the group_name, but it is no longer required when the group_id is used. This should make managing groups programmatically easier and more intuitive.

AEM 6.1 Cumulative Fix Pack 1

Starting with AEM 6.1 Service Pack 2, Adobe has introduced a single delivery model for releasing fixes. Instead of releasing hot fixes for single issues, Adobe will release a Cumulative Fix Pack (CFP) every month (subject to passing quality checks), which is an aggregator content package for multiple fixes. CFPs do not include any improvements, but have the following advantages over single hot fix releases:

  • Increased quality assurance.
  • Simplified installation (User installs a CFP as a single package that has no dependencies, except for the latest service pack).
  • Cumulative in nature (for example, CFP 3 contains fixes for CFP2 and CFP1) For more information on CFP and other types of releases, see Maintenance Release Vehicle .

The AEM 6.1 Cumulative Fix Pack is available on the Adobe Package Share and the release notes under https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/release-notes--aem-6-1-cumulative-fix-pack-.html
