Introduction

The Adobe Analytics Connector in the Tealium Universal Data Hub uses Adobe's Data Insertion API to send analytics data server-side, in place of using the JavaScript beacon on each web page/app event. This reduces the amount of data transmitted from the client-side, and also offers the advantage of being able to pass Audience/Visitor data from AudienceStream to Adobe Analytics if you are licensed for Tealium AudienceStream.

This document is applicable whether you are using AudienceStream, EventStream, or both.

General Attributes

For a full reference of all attributes, including details on exactly what each field should contain, see Adobe's API documentation and the Visitor & Experience Cloud IDs section of this article.

Map From	Map To	Notes	Sample Connector Output
UDH attribute containing a persistent visitor ID, e.g. tealium_visitor_id	visitorID*	Make sure this is a visitor-level persistent value (e.g. Tealium Visitor ID)	<visitorID>01619ea9a91a001af7e29b75797104079005c07101008M</visitorID>

UDH attribute containing the IP address of the visitor	ipaddress	To use this optional attribute, you must have enabled the Visitor IP Attribute in your account. Speak to your account manager if you need this feature.	<ipaddress>127.0.0.1</ipaddress>
UDH attribute containing the user agent of the browser/device	userAgent	Recommend using the built-in User Agent attribute in UDH	<userAgent>Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.167 Safari/537.36</userAgent>
UDH attribute containing the transaction ID for a custom event (not order ID)	transactionID	This is not the same as purchaseID. See the Adobe Analytics documentation for details.	<transactionID>CMPSUMMER18</transactionID>

Link Type

This field is used for link tracking, and allows setting of a Link Type.

Map From	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any attribute from the drop-down list or enter custom value	Link type: "d" - Download Link "e" - Exit Link "o" - Custom (other) Link	Sends a Link Type to Adobe Analytics only if the attribute selected has a value*	Map: (Custom Value): "true" to "o"	<linkType>o</linkType>

If the attribute selected has a value of null, undefined or "" (empty string), the Link Type will not be set on the outgoing request.

Context Data

Context Data may be used as a more user-friendly alternative to props and eVars. You can map any event attribute or visitor attribute to Context Data variables in Adobe Analytics. Context Data variables may have any name, but is is an Adobe best practice is to prefix all variables with a unique key, such as your company name. Some variables are reserved and may only be used for predetermined functionality, such as Lifecycle Metrics; these variables are prefixed with " a.".

Map From	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any attribute from dropdown, or enter custom value	companyname.someproperty	Maps a defined UDH attribute to a Context Data attribute	Map: (UDH Attribute) Campaign Name to "tealium.productColor"	<contextData><tealium.productColor>Red</tealium.productColor></contextData>

Analytics eVars

This field is used to map UDH attributes to eVars. eVars must be specified using the word "eVar" (not case-sensitive), plus the number of the eVar, e.g. "eVar11". Valid range is 1 through 250.

Map From	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any attribute from dropdown, or enter custom value	eVarX, where X is an integer in the range 1 - 250	Maps a defined UDH attribute to an eVar in your analytics reports	Map: (UDH Attribute) Campaign Name to "eVar75"	<eVar75>Summer2018</eVar75>

Analytics Property Name (s.props)

This field is used to map UDH attributes to props. Props must be specified using the word  prop, plus the number of the prop, e.g. "prop4". Valid range is 1 through 75. List props are supported, but these require prior configuration in your Adobe Analytics Report Suite admin interface.

Map From	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any attribute from dropdown, or enter custom value	propX, where X is an integer in the range 1 - 75	Maps a defined UDH attribute to an prop in your analytics reports	Map: (UDH Attribute) Link Name to "prop4"	<prop4>Buy Now</prop4>

Events (s.events)

Events allow you to measure how frequently a particular event is occurring on your website or in your app. The events variable is a comma-separated string listing all the events that should be counted for a particular analytics event. Both predefined events and custom events are sent in the same string.

In the Adobe Analytics connector, the following two methods are used to specify events:

1. Map an array value containing a list of event names that has been populated elsewhere (e.g. an extension in Tealium iQ, an Enrichment, or directly in your data layer).
   

   Map From	Data Type	Example Input	Sample Connector Output
   UDH attribute representing a list of events	Array	["event1", "event5", "event9"]	<events>event1,event5,event9</events>

2. Specify an array of string values which map to specific event numbers, and specify the event number mappings in the "Custom Event Mapping" section as follows:
   

   Map From	Map To	Example Event Array	Example Input	Sample Connector Output
   Custom text value containing a string to look up in the Events array	Name of event to trigger, e.g. event8	["newsletter_registration", "homepage_viewed"]	"newsletter_registration"	<events>event8</events> (because string "newsletter_registration" appeared in the events array)

Event Value Mapping

This field allows numerical values to be assigned to events. This field is not correlated to the "Custom Event Mapping" field; that is, if "event2" is specified in the "Custom Event Mapping" and is also specified as a "Value" event, it would be included in the event variable twice - once with no value, and once with.

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Example Input	Sample Connector Output
UDH attribute representing a numerical value	Number	eventX, where X is the number of the event	Map "9" to "event5"	<events>event5=9</events>

Products

The Products variable is used wherever it is necessary to capture e-commerce information about one or more products on a particular page (Category, Product ID, Price, Quantity).

Only UDH attributes with Array data types may be used to populate the Products variable. All arrays must be equal in length (i.e. if there are 5 products on the page, Product ID, Quantity, Price, and Category must all be 5 elements in length).

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Example Input Data	Sample Connector Output
UDH attribute representing Product Category	Array	Products Category	["Shoes", "Shirts"]	<products>Shoes;;;,Shirts;;;</products>
UDH attribute representing Product ID	Array	Products ID	["ABC123", "EFG234"]	<products>;ABC123;;,;EFG234;;</products>
UDH attribute representing Quantity	Array	Products Quantity	["1", "2"]	<products>;;1;,;;2;;</products>
UDH attribute representing Price	Array	Products Price	["149.99", "79.80"]	<products>;;;149.99,;;;79.80</products>

Product Event Value Mapping

This field allows a custom conversion event to be assigned to each product in the Products variable, and a numerical value to be assigned to each event.

If a "simple" variable is mapped (singular value, or custom text value), then the same value is applied to all products in the list. If a list (array) value is mapped, then the array must have the same length as the rest of the product arrays, and each item in the array will have a different value (according to its position in the array).

For these examples, assume the following product arrays are present as event attributes:

Product Category: ["Footwear", "Apparel"] Product ID: ["Running Shoes", "T-Shirt"] Quantity: ["1", "1"] Price: ["99.99", "49.99"]

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Example Input Value	Sample Connector Output
Custom text value containing a numerical value	String	Name of event to trigger, e.g. event8	"9.99" (custom value)	<events>event8</events><products>Footwear;Running Shoes;1;99.99;event8=9.99,Apparel;T-Shirt;1;49.99;event8=9.99</products>
UDH attribute representing array of numerical data	Array	Name of event to trigger, e.g. event12	["1.99", "4.99"]	<events>event8</events><products>Footwear;Running Shoes;1;99.99;event12=1.99,Apparel;T-Shirt;1;49.99;event12=4.99</products>

Product Merchandising eVars

This field allows eVars to be assigned to each product in the Products variable.

These work in the same way as the "Product Event Value Mapping" field, detailed above.

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Example Input Value	Sample Connector Output
Custom text value containing an eVar value	String	Name of eVar to trigger, e.g. eVar4	"my_custom_value"	<products>Footwear;Running Shoes;1;99.99;event8=9.99;eVar4=my_custom_value,Apparel;T-Shirt;1;49.99;event8=9.99;eVar4=my_custom_value</products>
UDH attribute representing array of eVar values (e.g. Product Color)	Array	Name of eVar to trigger, e.g. eVar6	["red", "green"]	<products>Footwear;Running Shoes;1;99.99;event8=9.99;eVar6=red,Apparel;T-Shirt;1;49.99;event8=9.99;eVar6=green</products>

Hierarchy Data

Page Hierarchy helps to classify a page within your site/app's navigation structure. There are five (5) available slots: hier1 - hier5. The only supported UDH attribute type that can be used as a hierarchy var is an Array.

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any attribute from dropdown, or enter custom value	Array	hier1 - hier5 (dropdown selection)	Maps a defined UDH attribute in Array format to a specified hierarchy var in Adobe Analytics	Map: (UDH Attribute) Page Classification to "hier1"	<hier1>Article</hier1>

List Data

List Variables are delimited strings containing multiple values, and are often used for attribution purposes. A maximum of 3 list variables is available for each Report Suite. The only supported UDH attribute type that can be used as a list var is an Array.

Map From	Data Type	Map To	Description	Example	Sample Connector Output
Select any array attribute from dropdown	Array	list1, list2, list3 (dropdown selection)	Maps a defined UDH attribute in Array format to a specified list var in Adobe Analytics	Map: (UDH Attribute) Referrer List to "list1"	<list1>google.com</list1>

Visitor and Experience Cloud IDs

See the Adobe Analytics documentation on Visitor IDs, and the order of preference in the event that multiple IDs are provided.

Use Case 1: No prior Adobe Analytics implementation

If this will be a brand new Adobe Analytics implementation, 100% server-side, you may use your own unique visitor ID, and pass it to the visitorID attribute in the connector. You will need to decide what constitutes a suitable visitor ID, within the constraints set out by Adobe.

Use Case 2: Migrating from existing Adobe Analytics client-side JavaScript

If you are migrating from a JavaScript-based Adobe Analytics tag to the server-side connector, you will need to keep a consistent visitor ID to avoid "losing" visitors when/if you migrate fully. You will also need to migrate the visitor IDs if you are implementing the Adobe Analytics UDH connector as a secondary collection mechanism (where you are still using the JavaScript tag on your web pages or in your apps as the primary collection mechanism).

Use the following steps to migrate from existing Adobe Analytics client-side JavaScript, as described in this use case:

1. Follow these instructions to configure the Adobe Experience Cloud ID tag and set up the tag in Tealium iQ.
2. In this step, you will store the Adobe visitor IDs in a first-party cookie. This will ensure that the value is transmitted to the UDH on each hit, without needing to re-request the value for the duration of the session.
   • In Tealium iQ, go to the Data Layer tab, and create two (2) new First Party Cookie variables called "utag_main_adobe_mcid" and "utag_main_aa_vid".
     

     You may rename these variables if you wish, but be sure to retain the "utag_main_" prefix, which will save cookie space by stacking into the utag_main cookie. If you rename the variables, you will need to also update the JavaScript snippet below

   • Create a new JavaScript Code extension, coped to the Adobe Experience Cloud ID Service tag, and paste in the following code:
     

     if (typeof vAPI !== "undefined") {
       vAPI.getInstance(u.data.adobe_org_id,
     	function (visitor) {
     	var mcID = visitor.getMarketingCloudVisitorID(),
     	analyticsID = visitor.getAnalyticsVisitorID(),
     	sessionExpiry = ";exp-session";
     	// store Adobe IDs for the session duration
     	if (!mcID) {
     	// something went wrong - the visitor IDs could not be retrieved
     	utag.DB("MCID could not be returned");
     	} else {
     	utag.loader.SC("utag_main",{"adobe_mcid" : mcID + sessionExpiry, "aa_vid" : analyticsID + sessionExpiry});
     	// optionally, trigger an empty utag.link call to trigger sending the cookie values to UDH
     	// if utag.track call is omitted (default), values will be sent on the next utag.link or utag.view call anyway
     	// utag.track is used to avoid calling other 3rd party tags; only the collect tag should respond
     	// utag.track("adobe_vid_updated", {});
     	}
        },u.clearEmptyKeys(u.data.config), u.data.customer_ids);
     }

     This creates a callback to the Adobe Visitor ID service which will be called when the visitor ID(s) have been successfully retrieved from Adobe's servers, and stores the Visitor ID and Experience Cloud ID in Tealium's own first-party cookie (utag_main). The cookie will expire at the end of the session in case the Visitor ID gets updated in future. If you wish to make the cookie persistent (non-expiring), you could set sessionExpiry to "" in the above code.

   • Add a condition to the JavaScript extension "utag_main_adobe_mcid is not defined AND utag_main_aa_vid is not defined". This prevents the code from running again during this session.

3. Configure the UDH for AudienceStream and EventStream.
   AudienceStream Configuration
   If you have AudienceStream, you may store the Adobe Visitor ID and Experience Cloud ID as visitor-level String attributes. Do not store them as "Visitor ID" attributes. For any actions triggered by an Audience event, you may then map the new attribute to visitorID and marketingCloudVisitorID in the connector configuration.
   
   
   EventStream Configuration
   If you have EventStream, you do not have the ability to store ID variables, which is why we stored the value in a cookie. If you have already published your Tealium iQ configuration from the previous step to Prod, you will find the new utag_main_adobe_mcid and utag_main_aa_vid values already present in your Event Attributes.
   

   

   
   If you have not published to Prod, you may manually add the Event Attributes, making sure to select the "First Party Cookie > String" attribute type. Once you have defined these attributes, you may now choose them in the Adobe Analytics connector and map them to marketingCloudVisitorID and visitorID, respectively.
   

   

Debugging Common Issues

• To test the connector, we recommend using the Trace tool. While running a trace, look for the "HTTP Request Body" field, which will show the formatted XML that was sent to Adobe. You can compare the XML output to the "Sample Connector Output" fields in the above tables to verify the output.

• Look for any errors in the response code being returned from Adobe. Anything other than HTTP Response Status: 200/Successful indicates that there was an error with the request.

• The full URL structure for the Data Insertion API follows the format http://namespace.112.2o7.net/b/ss//6. Note that the double forward slash is intentional and valid (in the JavaScript Adobe Analytics implementation, the Report Suite ID would reside here). /6 indicates that an XML payload is being transmitted, and the reportSuite value is sent as part of the XML payload. This is the value you will see when running a Trace session.

  You do not need to enter the full URL value into the connector configuration; Tealium auto-generates the URL based on the Data Insertion Domain value. You will only see the full URL when running a Trace session.

• For your specific implementation, you may have a different value for the Data Insertion Domain (e.g. sc.omtrdc.net), but the namespace should always precede the domain (e.g. namespace.sc.omtrdc.net), except where you have your own first-party tracking domain (e.g. smetrics.acme.com).
