An Adobe Campaign Classic Developer’s client uses a unique customer ID to identify and contact
their customers. This customer ID is a number. The client wants to send out a personalized email to
all customers.
What exclusion setting can have a different impact if the ID would have been an email instead of a
number?
A
Explanation:
In Adobe Campaign Classic, handling exclusions for email-based campaigns often differs from those
for campaigns based on unique customer IDs (such as a numeric identifier). When using a unique
customer ID, the exclusion settings may be adjusted based on this identifier rather than email-
specific rules. Let’s explore how the exclusion setting in Duplicate addresses during delivery would be
affected by the change in the customer identifier from email to a number:
Duplicate Addresses During Delivery:
This setting is primarily useful in email campaigns, as it prevents sending multiple emails to the same
email address. However, if the identifier is a number instead of an email address, this setting would
have no impact. In the case of emails, Adobe Campaign Classic checks for duplicate email addresses
to avoid redundant emails. When the identifier is numerical, Adobe Campaign wouldn’t inherently
recognize or treat different email addresses as duplicates based on a numerical ID.
Quarantined Recipients:
Quarantine settings in Adobe Campaign Classic are generally managed by email addresses or mobile
numbers. If a numerical ID replaces an email as the primary identifier, quarantine settings might not
change in terms of functionality. However, email-based quarantines are directly tied to email
delivery issues, so they are more impactful when emails are the primary customer identifier.
Previously Contacted Recipients:
This setting depends on tracking previously contacted individuals, which can be managed by email,
mobile number, or customer ID. The primary change here would be in tracking by a different
identifier; otherwise, the exclusion criteria would remain consistent.
Recipients Who No Longer Want to Be Contacted:
Adobe Campaign Classic handles this through subscription or opt-out statuses, which are commonly
associated with email addresses or mobile numbers. When using a unique numerical ID, the system
could still enforce opt-out preferences, but it would be less directly tied to email behavior and more
to customer ID-based exclusions.
Thus, Duplicate addresses during delivery is the setting most likely to behave differently when
switching from email to a numerical customer ID, as it is inherently designed to recognize duplicate
email addresses rather than unique numeric identifiers. This difference is specific to how Adobe
Campaign Classic manages exclusions in email campaigns and highlights the distinction between
email and numeric-based customer identification in delivery settings.
Where does the developer need to configure the additional attributes so they are automatically
captured in the broad log at the time of sending?
C
Explanation:
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.
What is the maximum recommended number of concurrent workflows that should be executed in an
Adobe Campaign instance?
B
Explanation:
Adobe Campaign Classic recommends limiting the number of concurrent workflows to a manageable
level to ensure optimal performance and prevent system overload. While the exact number may vary
based on hardware, database performance, and specific instance configurations, the generally
recommended limit is 20 concurrent workflows:
Workflow Management and Performance:
Adobe Campaign workflows can be resource-intensive, especially when handling large data sets,
complex targeting, or real-time processing. Executing too many workflows concurrently can lead to
competition for system resources, potentially causing slowdowns or failures. The recommended cap
of 20 is aimed at balancing load and maintaining stable performance.
Instance-Specific Recommendations:
Depending on the specific configuration and usage patterns, some instances may support more than
20 concurrent workflows. However, Adobe generally advises against exceeding this limit without
thorough testing to prevent possible degradation in service quality.
Monitoring and Scaling:
Administrators can monitor workflow performance and scale resources as needed. If a larger number
of workflows need to run simultaneously, adjusting server configurations and scaling up resources
may be necessary.
Following Adobe’s recommendation of 20 concurrent workflows helps ensure that the Campaign
instance runs smoothly without risking instability due to excessive load.
A Campaign Classic developer wants to monitor which variables are being passed through a
workflow to begin debugging a JavaScript activity. When executing the workflow, which action
should the developer take to show the variables that are being passed throughout the workflow?
C
Explanation:
In Adobe Campaign Classic, Display progression information is the appropriate action to monitor
variables being passed through the workflow. This feature provides insight into the data being
processed at each step, which is essential when debugging. Here’s how it helps:
Progression Information in Debugging:
This setting allows developers to see the data transitions, including variables passed between
activities. By enabling progression tracking, developers can view detailed logs and understand what
variables are passed at each stage of the workflow, which is particularly useful in identifying issues
within JavaScript activities.
Visualization of Variables:
This action offers an interface to view records and variables directly as they move through the
workflow, showing interim data sets. It makes it easier to confirm the correct variables are being
passed or identify where unexpected values occur.
Thus, using Display progression information is the optimal choice to observe variable transitions
throughout a workflow, aiding in debugging JavaScript and other activities.
A customer needs an automated process to send event notifications every 15 minutes to a group of
users. No user should receive the same notification twice. What activities should the Adobe
Campaign Classic developer use in the Campaign workflow to perform this?
D
Explanation:
To automate event notifications every 15 minutes in Adobe Campaign Classic and ensure users do
not receive duplicate notifications, the following workflow activities are used:
Scheduler Activity:
This activity is set up to trigger the workflow every 15 minutes. The Scheduler allows precise timing
control over when workflows execute, ensuring the notifications are sent at the desired intervals.
Test Activity After Targeting:
The Test activity helps exclude users who have already received a specific notification. Placing it after
targeting ensures that only new recipients (those who haven’t received the notification) are selected,
effectively preventing duplicates.
This combination ensures that the notifications are automated at regular intervals, with the Test
activity filtering out any users who have already received the notification. Using Scheduler and a Test
activity after targeting meets the requirement of avoiding duplicate notifications while sending them
at the specified intervals.
A developer needs to insert a JavaScript activity that will be used to query the temp table in a
workflow. How should the developer verify the name of the temporary schema to be used in
JavaScript?
A
Explanation:
When working with temporary schemas in Adobe Campaign Classic, logInfo is commonly used within
JavaScript activities to output information to the workflow logs. This is a practical method for
debugging and verifying details such as the temporary schema name:
Using logInfo in JavaScript:
By inserting logInfo statements within the JavaScript activity, the developer can output the
temporary schema name directly into the workflow log. This provides a quick and efficient way to
view the schema name and other pertinent details needed for querying.
Advantages of logInfo for Verification:
It enables developers to capture variable names and values at runtime without interrupting the
workflow execution. This makes it particularly useful for troubleshooting and confirming that the
correct temporary schema is being referenced.
Thus, logInfo within the JavaScript activity is the appropriate method for verifying the temporary
schema name and is a commonly used approach for debugging in Adobe Campaign workflows.
An Adobe Campaign Classic developer needs to follow best practices for workflow implementation.
Which three options should the developer select? (Choose 3)
A, C, D
Explanation:
When implementing workflows in Adobe Campaign Classic, adhering to best practices ensures
optimal performance and system stability:
Purge Logs When They Are Not Needed Anymore:
Log data can accumulate quickly, consuming database space and impacting performance. Regularly
purging logs helps to maintain system efficiency by freeing up resources and reducing unnecessary
storage consumption.
Avoid Leaving Workflows in a Paused State:
Paused workflows can create inconsistencies, as they might hold data in interim tables or occupy
system resources. To avoid potential issues, it’s best to either stop workflows completely or schedule
them appropriately to run only when needed.
Do Not Schedule Workflows to Run More Than Every 15 Minutes:
Scheduling workflows at short intervals (e.g., every few minutes) can strain system resources,
particularly in high-traffic environments. Adobe recommends a minimum interval of 15 minutes to
avoid excessive load and ensure smooth operation across other processes.
Selecting these options helps ensure that the workflow implementations align with Adobe Campaign
Classic’s recommended performance and resource management guidelines.
A developer wants to retrieve data from multiple schemas and insert data into the temp table within
a workflow. Which two methods should be used to perform this operation? (Choose 2)
A, D
Explanation:
To retrieve data from multiple schemas and insert it into a temp table within an Adobe Campaign
Classic workflow, the following methods are used:
Xtk.queryDef.create():
This method is employed to construct and execute queries across multiple schemas. It allows
developers to retrieve data dynamically from various sources within the database, which is essential
for workflows that need to aggregate data from different schemas.
Xtk.session.write():
After retrieving data, Xtk.session.write() is used to insert data into a temp table. This method enables
writing directly to tables, including temporary tables, which are often used to store intermediate
results for further processing within workflows.
These methods together provide the necessary functionality for data retrieval and insertion within
workflows, enabling effective manipulation of temp tables based on multiple data sources.
What is a use case for a custom target mapping in Adobe Campaign Classic?
C
Explanation:
A custom target mapping in Adobe Campaign Classic is used primarily when there is a need to
customize the relationship between recipient data and the delivery or targeting mechanism. A
specific use case for custom target mapping is to store data, such as addresses, in an individual table
rather than the default recipient table. Here’s how it works:
Storing Address Data in a Custom Table:
When a client requires specific recipient data (like an address) to be stored separately for particular
campaigns or use cases, a custom target mapping allows for this level of flexibility. It lets developers
specify an individual table to house this data, rather than using the standard recipient schema.
By using custom target mappings, developers can fine-tune data storage and retrieval strategies in
Adobe Campaign, allowing more tailored approaches to recipient management and targeting.
Review the code below and mark the correct option:
javascript
Copy code
var query = NLWS.xtkQueryDef.create({
queryDef: {
schema: 'nms:recipient',
operation: 'select',
lineCount: '5',
select: { node: [
{expr: '@firstName'},
{expr: '@lastName'},
{expr: '@email'}
]}
}
}).ExecuteQuery().getElements();
What would be the correct code to retrieve the email for each record?
A
Explanation:
In this JavaScript code snippet, the developer has queried recipient data, selecting the first name, last
name, and email from the nms:recipient schema. To retrieve and log each email address from the
query results, they need to loop through the returned array:
Query Result:
The result of ExecuteQuery().getElements() is an array of objects, where each object represents a
record with selected fields (in this case, @firstName, @lastName, and @email).
Correct Loop Syntax:
The correct syntax for looping through an array in JavaScript involves using .length to determine the
number of elements in the array. Therefore, for (var i = 0; i < query.length; i++) is the correct loop
structure.
Accessing the Email Field:
Within each record object, logInfo(query[i].$email); accesses the $email property and logs it. This
syntax correctly refers to each record's email field within the loop.
Option A is correct because it accurately loops through the query results and retrieves each email
address using the $email attribute.
In V8 Adobe Campaign Classic, data from local PostgreSQL tables is not being replicated to the
Snowflake database. Which OOTB workflow should the developer look at to troubleshoot the issue?
C
Explanation:
In Adobe Campaign Classic V8, FFDA (Federated Data Access) is responsible for managing data
replication between local data sources (e.g., PostgreSQL) and external databases (e.g., Snowflake).
When local PostgreSQL tables are not being replicated to Snowflake, the workflow to review is:
Replicate FFDA Data (fdaReplicate):
This workflow is designed to manage the replication of FFDA data across different databases,
including Snowflake. It checks and synchronizes data between the on-premise database and the
cloud database, ensuring that records are consistently replicated.
Thus, if replication to Snowflake is failing, the fdaReplicate workflow is the primary OOTB workflow
to inspect and troubleshoot any replication issues.
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?
B
Explanation:
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 developer identifies that click and open data has not been updated for a long time. Which OOTB
technical workflow should be checked in order to troubleshoot this issue?
B
Explanation:
In Adobe Campaign Classic, the Tracking workflow is responsible for collecting and updating tracking
data, such as opens and clicks, associated with email deliveries. If tracking data has not been
updated, this workflow is crucial to check:
Tracking (tracking) Workflow:
This OOTB (Out-of-the-Box) technical workflow processes and imports tracking logs from the delivery
server. It updates the database with data about how recipients interact with sent emails, such as
opens and clicks. If there is an issue with the tracking data not being updated, this workflow might
have failed or be misconfigured.
Therefore, reviewing the Tracking (tracking) workflow can help identify issues with data collection
and update processes for email interactions.
A developer is using a test activity to verify if the result is generated or not. Which test condition
should be used?
B
Explanation:
The Test Activity in Adobe Campaign Classic is used to verify conditions within a workflow. When the
objective is to check whether a result has been generated, the condition should confirm that the
record count (recCount) is greater than zero:
Condition Explanation:
vars.recCount holds the count of records returned by the workflow segment. If vars.recCount > 0, it
indicates that records have been found, meaning the result is generated. This is the standard check
to verify the presence of data in the context of the workflow.
Thus, vars.recCount > 0 is the appropriate condition to verify if there is a non-zero result.
An Adobe Campaign Classic developer is working on an import workflow. The format of the file to be
imported is CSV. An aggregate must be computed in the workflow. Which three components should
be used to implement the import workflow to update the data? (Choose three)
A, C, D
Explanation:
When creating an import workflow in Adobe Campaign Classic to load a CSV file, compute an
aggregate, and update data, the following components are essential:
Data Loading:
This activity is used to import data from a file (e.g., a CSV) into the workflow. It reads the CSV file and
brings the data into the Adobe Campaign workflow for processing.
Enrichment:
The Enrichment activity is employed to compute aggregates, such as sums or averages, within the
workflow. It allows the developer to extend data by adding calculated fields or aggregating based on
specific criteria.
Update Data:
Once the data is enriched with the necessary aggregates, the Update Data activity is used to update
records in the database. This activity can insert new records, modify existing ones, or perform both
actions based on the imported and processed data.
Using Data Loading, Enrichment, and Update Data components in this sequence enables effective
import and data processing within the workflow.
