Hello All,

I am importing some audiences from a SFTP location and storing them in a profile-enabled dataset.

Now, How can I create a segment for this audience in AEP?

I tried creating a segment on batch Id condition, but it does not work.

Hello @anil_umachigi @nereddy @irohitshukla

Here is how I achieved this without changing the schema structure. I uploaded the data to the experience event schema and created a dummy event against the identities from the CSV file.

Now this dummy event can be used in segment builder to create the segments.

That is smart stuff @_manoj_kumar_

may be you could write an automation script which does and creates a fake event with those attributes.

Well done and thank you for sharing here 🙂

@_manoj_kumar_ Could you elaborate more on the dataset you imported this into? what schema class did you use to create this? Ideally you would

Create a Non-people identifier namespace
Create schema with class Segment definition
Assign primary id ( Segment id) to the name space created
Enable for profile
Ingest data.

Is there a reason you are using batch id?

Hello @anil_umachigi

I have a list of customers(with identities) that already exist in CDP. Now, the requirement is to create a segment of these customers and activate them to a destination.

I don't want to modify the existing schema because it is a once-off requirement. I thought of ingesting this data by creating a dataset by CSV file and then enabling the dataset for the profile.

Every ingests we do in AEP creates a batch ID. To create a segment of these imported customers I thought of using the batch ID to create a segment that is not working.
