Bulk Segment/Metric Transfer - Beta

Bulk transfer segments or calculated metrics between Adobe Analytics login companies

Overview

This page provides instructions and an API-based tool for bulk transfer of segments and/or calculated metrics from one Adobe Analytics login company to another using the Adobe Analytics 1.4 APIs.

This tool will loop through a JSON array of segmments and generate an API call for each segment or metric to be uploaded. In its current configuration, you will need to monitor the browser network console to determine if your requests are generating any errors and address them as needed.

Pre-requisites

To start this process, you will need to do the following:

  • Determine which segments and/or metrics you want to move from the originating login company and tag them in the interface as “segments to move” or something similar. This will allow you to filter by that tag to support migration of only the tagged segments. You can skip this step if you intend to transfer all segments, however tagging segments can make it easier to identify duplicated segments/metrics uploaded in error.
  • Establish whether calculated metrics have any segments embedded in them. Because each segment migrated will be given a new segment ID in the destination login company, any calculated metric with an embedded segment will need to be mapped to the new segment ID. This is currently a manual process and is not a capability of this tool. See the FAQ section below for more on this.
  • Gain Web Services access to both the originating and destination login companies.
  • Retrieve the segments to transfer using Postman as a JSON Array using the 1.4 API only. This tool will not work with the 2.0 API JSON. Segments must have the following elements to be transfered: name, definition, RSID. Remove the Shares element if null.

Steps

  1. Enter your Web Service Credentials below
  2. Select whether you are uploading multiple segments or calculated metrics
  3. Insert properly formatted JSON data as an array in the text area below
  4. IMPORTANT: Open your browser console to see the server response and monitor any errors
