[Mentor Arpan Garg] Adobe Real-Time CDP Community Mentorship Program 2024

Hi @kandersen,

Apologies for the delayed response—I was on vacation. For any questions related to RTCDP, I always turn to the community as my go-to resource. I began as a learner myself about two years ago.

When I need precise answers, I typically refer to the documentation on Adobe's website. I also follow insights from @abhinavbalooni , @kumar29917170hcyp and @anil_umachigi 

Thanks,
Arpan

1. You want to create an audience of customers who added a product to their cart but did not complete the purchase. What is this type of audience called?
   sequential audience
   
   

2. Where can you receive alerts when an error occurs while ingesting data from a source connection? How can you activate these alerts?
   You can see alerts under the Bell icon and can manage/activate alerts under the Alerts UI in the left hand menu. 
   
   

3. What is suppression and cross-sell/upsell in marketing? (Note: This is not directly related to RTCDP but is important for a business practitioner to know.)

   Suppression in marketing refers to the practice of deliberately excluding certain individuals or groups from a marketing campaign.
   
   

   Cross-Sell and Upsell are strategies used to increase the value of a customer by offering additional or higher-value products.
   
   

4. A batch segment was created around 6 AM, but after 12 hours, the number of qualified profiles is still zero. What could be the reason for this?
   It happens if you have ingested data in profile-enabled datasets
   source: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-platform/qualified-profiles-count-is-zero/m-p/657408#M4110 
   
   

5. Six segment export jobs are scheduled to run, pushing files to an S3 destination. How many dataflow runs will be visible in the UI?
   Don't know - looking forward to hear the answer.
   
   

6. An Adobe Real-Time CDP Business Practitioner wants to forward raw website events to an analytics destination in real time, rather than sending a segment using a cookie identifier. Which type of destination should the practitioner use?
   Streaming destination
   
   

7. Due to some issues in the source system, unwanted profiles were added to the CDP, increasing the number of profiles. It was suggested to delete these profiles using the privacy service. Is this the recommended approach?
   Don't know - looking forward to hear the answer.

Hi @arpan-garg 

I've tentatively scheduled it for end of august (crossing fingers). 

I'm currently working my way through this course: https://app.rockinfo.com/courses/133 

Hi @kandersen-1 

Sorry for the delayed response.

The RT-CDP Business Practitioner exam covers questions from various modules, which you can find detailed here: RT-CDP Business Practitioner Exam Guide.

I had previously mentioned this in our earlier discussion, but to clarify:

Section 1: Segments and Activation (32%)

• Create segments and activate them to destinations
• Configure new destinations
• Apply concepts needed to target identities in destinations
• Identify attribute mappings and schedule segments for destination

Section 2: Privacy and Data Governance (20%)

• Understand DULE policies and their impact on data availability at destinations
• Ensure adherence to privacy and data compliance measures

Section 3: Business Analysis (30%)

• Identify use cases aligned with business KPIs
• Perform data analysis on customer segments within the platform
• Demonstrate an understanding of data flow concepts

Section 4: Schemas and Profiles (18%)

• Demonstrate an understanding of Adobe Experience Platform concepts
• Utilize profile features

The majority of the questions I've been asking revolve around these modules to help you focus your preparation effectively. Many of the questions related to destinations are at the recall level, so please ensure you are familiar with the identities required for activation, particularly for social channels like LinkedIn and Facebook.

Thank you, and I hope this helps with your preparation.

Hi Arpan ,

I have attempted these questions, please see my response below:

1. Where can you create a new merge policy in AEP?
We can create Merge Policy in Profiles. Navigation is as :
Main Menu -> Customer -> Profiles -> Merge Policies -> Create Merge Policy

2. Where can you search for profiles by merge policy in AEP?
We can search for Profiles by merge policy in Browse section under Profiles. Navigation is as :
Main Menu -> Customer -> Profiles -> Browse -> Select Merge Policy and Identity Namespace

3. Can you provide an example of an identity namespace that is available by default in AEP, other than ECID and Email?
Phone, TNTID, AAID are a few examples of identity namespace that is available by default in AEP, other than ECID and Email

4. How can you create a schema in AEP?
Navigation:
Main Menu -> Data Management -> Schemas

Prior to creating Schema we must follow these steps:
a. Decide if this schema will be a profile schema or not?
b. Define fields of schema.
c. Then define the fields which can act as identity, e.g. phone, email etc.
d. Then define which of the identity namespace will be Primary Identity
e. Select the class.
f. We can always reuse the available fields groups or create a new field group

5. What steps are required to enable a schema for profiles?
Go to schemas and enable the schema for profile by clicking Profile slide button.

6. What is the difference between a personal identity namespace and a non-personal identity namespace in AEP?
A namespace which can identify a person is personal identity namespace, e.g., phone, email etc.
A namespace which can identify a product or non-people identifier is non-personal identity namespace, e.g., sku, cookie id etc.

7. On what criteria can you create a merge policy in AEP?
We can always merge profile on the basis of :
•Profile Dataset -> Timestamp Ordered, Dataset Precedence.
•Experience Event Dataset

8. What are the different methods of ingesting data into AEP?
We can configure it in following ways:
a. Configure Sources using UI : Using out of the box connections available in Source, Use HTTP API function, Use FTP etc.
b. Configure using AEP API: Use Adobe I/O projects for ingesting using APIs

9. What are the different ways to create segments or audiences in AEP?
We can create 3 types of audience:
a. Batch
b. Streaming
c. Edge
Also, we can build using:
a. Build Rules
b. Compose Audience

10. What is the difference between edge, streaming, and batch audiences?
Batch Audiences are evaluated after a set interval of time.
Streaming Audiences are evaluated in real time.
Edge Audiences are resolved at edge network.

11.Where and how can you define dataset precedence in AEP?
Dataset Precedence is defined when we create a Merge Policy. We can define the order of dataset for precedence when merging profile datasets.

12.What information do you need to search for a profile in AEP?
We need Merge Policy, Identity Namespace and its corresponding value to search for a profile in AEP.
