ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ

Create a datastream in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Experience Platform Data Collection. When you send data to this datastream, it forwards data to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics. In the future, this same datastream forwards data to Customer Journey Analytics.

1. Navigate to and log in using your credentials.
2. Use the home page or product selector in the top right to navigate to Data Collection.
3. In the left navigation, select Datastreams.
4. Select New Datastream.
5. Enter the desired name, then select Save.
6. Once the datastream is created, select Add Service.
7. In the service drop-down menu, select ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics.
8. Enter the same report suite ID as the site you currently send analytics data to. Click Save.

Your datastream is now ready to receive and pass along data to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics. Note the datastream ID, as this ID is required when configuring the Web SDK in code.

Set up your implementation to point to the datastream created in the previous step by using the Web SDK configure command. The configure command must be set on every page, so you can include it alongside the library installation code.

Use the datastreamId and orgId properties within the Web SDK configure command:

• Set the datastreamId to the datastream ID retrieved from the previous step.
• Set the orgId to your organization’s IMS org.

alloy("configure", {
    datastreamId: "ebebf826-a01f-4458-8cec-ef61de241c93",
    orgId: "ADB3LETTERSANDNUMBERS@ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵOrg"
});

You can optionally set other properties in the configure command depending on your organization’s implementation requirements.

Change your Analytics implementation so that it does not rely on AppMeasurement.js or the s object. Instead, set variables into a correctly formatted JavaScript object, which is converted to a JSON object when sent to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ. Having a Data layer on your site helps tremendously when setting values, as you can continue referencing those same values.

To send data to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics, the Web SDK payload must use data.__adobe.analytics with all analytics variables set within this object. Variables within this object share identical names and formats as their AppMeasurement variable counterparts. For example, if you set the products variable, do not split it into individual objects like you would with XDM. Instead, include it as a string exactly is if you set the s.products variable:

{
  "data": {
    "__adobe": {
      "analytics": {
        "products": "Shoes,Men's sneakers,1,49.99"
      }
    }
  }
}

Ultimately, this payload contains all desired values, and all references to the s object in your implementation are removed. You can use any of the resources that JavaScript provides to set this payload object, including dot notation to set individual values.

// Define the payload and set objects within it
var dataObj = {data: {__adobe: {analytics: {}}}};
dataObj.data.__adobe.analytics.pageName = window.document.title;
dataObj.data.__adobe.analytics.eVar1 = "Example value";

// Alternatively, set values in an object and use a spread operator to achieve identical results
var a = new Object;
a.pageName = window.document.title;
a.eVar1 = "Example value";
var dataObj = {data:{__adobe:{analytics:{...a}}}};

Update all instances where you call s.t() and s.tl(), replacing them with the sendEvent command. There are three scenarios to consider:

• Page view tracking: Replace the page view tracking call with the Web SDK sendEvent command:

  code language-js
  // If your current implementation has this line of code: s.t(); // Replace it with this line of code. The dataObj object contains the variables to send. alloy("sendEvent", dataObj);

• Automatic link tracking: The clickCollectionEnabled configuration property is enabled by default. It automatically sets the correct link tracking variables to send data to ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Analytics. If you want to disable automatic link tracking, set this property to false within the configure command.

• Manual link tracking: The Web SDK does not have separate commands between pageview and non-pageview calls. Provide that distinction within the payload object.

  code language-js
  // If your current implementation has this line of code: s.tl(true,"o","Example custom link"); // Replace it with these lines of code. Add the required fields to the dataObj object. dataObj.data.__adobe.analytics.linkName = "Example custom link"; dataObj.data.__adobe.analytics.linkType = "o"; dataObj.data.__adobe.analytics.linkURL = "https://example.com"; alloy("sendEvent", dataObj);

Once you have removed all references to AppMeasurement and the s object, publish your changes to your development environment to validate that the new implementation works. Once you have validated that everything works correctly, you can publish your updates to production.

If migrated correctly, AppMeasurement.js is no longer required on your site, and all references to this script can be removed.
