Where does the developer need to configure the additional attributes so they are automatically captured in the broad log at the time of sending?
In Adobe Campaign Classic, Target Mapping is where developers configure how data flows between the various tables when a campaign is executed, including the data that needs to be captured in the broad log (delivery log) during email sends. The broad log captures detailed information about each delivery attempt, and Adobe Campaign uses target mappings to define which data attributes are recorded and linked to recipients.
To capture additional attributes in the broad log automatically:
Target Mapping Configuration: Developers need to extend the target mapping linked to the delivery. By doing so, they can specify which additional attributes should be mapped to the recipient's delivery information. Target mappings control the relationship between delivery and recipient data, allowing Adobe Campaign to include extra fields in the logs automatically during the send process.
Broad Log Extension: Extending the target mapping also enables the addition of custom attributes to the broad log. These attributes are crucial for tracking and analyzing delivery and interaction data beyond the standard fields.
Thus, setting up these additional attributes within Target Mapping ensures that they are captured seamlessly in the broad log at the time of sending.
A developer wants to send an alert to an operator that contains the names of profiles who opened the newsletter. The profile's first and last name fields are linked to the recipients targeting dimension, whereas the alert activity is linked to the operator targeting dimension. What activities would the developer need to send the notification?
In this scenario, the goal is to send an alert containing profile information (first and last names) of those who opened a newsletter, but the alert is directed to an operator (not directly tied to the recipient schema):
Query Activity:
The workflow begins with a Query activity to identify profiles who opened the newsletter. This will extract the relevant recipient data.
Enrichment Activity:
Since the alert needs profile names but is tied to the operator dimension, an Enrichment activity is essential. It joins the recipient's data (first and last name) to the alert's targeting dimension, bridging the recipient and operator data.
Test Activity:
A Test activity can be used to filter and ensure that only the intended profiles are included before the alert is generated.
Alert Activity:
Finally, the Alert activity is configured to send a notification to the operator with the enriched profile data.
Therefore, the correct sequence to achieve this functionality is Query > Enrichment > Test > Alert, as it ensures that the necessary profile data is linked to the operator dimension for the alert.
A new file must be loaded into Adobe Campaign Classic, and the file contains data in XML format. Which activity should be used to import this file?
For importing data in XML format into Adobe Campaign Classic, the Data Loading (file) activity is the most suitable choice. This activity is specifically designed for importing data files into the system, supporting various formats, including XML, CSV, and others.
The Data Loading (file) activity can be configured to handle XML files by mapping XML elements to the corresponding schema fields in Adobe Campaign Classic. This process involves specifying the file location, defining the data structure, and mapping XML data fields to the data schema in Adobe Campaign. This method is also advantageous because it provides built-in options for error handling, data transformation, and validation before the data is committed to the database.
Other options, such as JavaScript code or Loading (SOAP), are typically used for custom processing or SOAP-based integrations, respectively. While these can technically handle XML data, they are less straightforward and would require additional setup. The Import activity is a more generic term and does not specifically handle XML data, making Data Loading (file) the optimal choice for this scenario.
A developer needs to check for missing personalization before sending deliveries to the targeted audience and cancel the particular delivery. How would the developer do this?
In Adobe Campaign Classic, a control typology rule is the appropriate method for checking personalization before sending a delivery. Control typology rules can be set up to validate certain conditions, such as verifying the presence of personalization fields. If any required personalization is missing, the control rule can trigger a cancellation of the delivery or flag it for review.
By implementing this rule, the developer ensures that each delivery meets personalization requirements, preventing incomplete or improperly personalized messages from reaching the audience. Filtering typology rules and delivery scripts are not as well-suited for this purpose, as they are not designed for pre-send validation in the same way as control rules.
An Adobe Campaign Classic developer needs to create a new schema for a functional need with a unique ID.
Why should the developer create a new ID sequence for this new schema?
In Adobe Campaign Classic, when creating a new schema with a unique ID, it is essential to define a new ID sequence to ensure that the IDs generated for this schema are unique across the database. Without a dedicated ID sequence, there is a risk of duplicating keys, as other schemas or tables might generate overlapping IDs. By setting up a unique ID sequence, the developer can avoid primary key conflicts and ensure data integrity, as each record in the new schema will have a distinct ID not shared with any other table.
