Configure cloud import locations
Before you can import Adobe Analytics classification data from a cloud destination, you need to add and configure the account and the location within that account where you want the classification data to be collected.
This process consists of adding and configuring the account (such as Amazon S3 Role ARN, Google Cloud Platform, and so forth) and the location within the account (such as a folder within the account).
To configure a cloud import location:
-
You need to add an account before you can add a location. If you haven’t already, add an account as described in Configure cloud import accounts.
-
In Adobe Analytics, select Components > Locations.
-
On the Locations page, select the Locations tab.
-
Select Add location.
The Location dialog displays.
-
Specify the following information:
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 Field Function Name The name of the location. Description Provide a short description of the account to help differentiate it from other accounts of the same account type. Location account Select the location account that you created in Add an account. -
In the Location properties section, specify information specific to the account type of your location account.
For configuration instructions, expand the section below that corresponds to the account type that you selected in the Location accounts field.
accordion Amazon S3 Role ARN Specify the following information to configure an Amazon S3 Role ARN location:
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 layout-auto Field Function Bucket name The bucket within your Amazon S3 account where you want Adobe Analytics data to be sent. Key prefix The folder within the bucket where you want to put the data. Specify a folder name, then add a backslash after the name to create the folder. For example, folder_name/ accordion Google Cloud Platform Specify the following information to configure a Google Cloud Platform location:
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 layout-auto Field Function Bucket name The bucket within your GCP account where you want Adobe Analytics data to be sent. Ensure that you have granted permission to the Principal provided by Adobe to upload files to this bucket. Key prefix The folder within the bucket where you want to put the data. Specify a folder name, then add a backslash after the name to create the folder. For example, folder_name/ accordion Azure SAS Specify the following information to configure an Azure SAS location:
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 layout-auto Field Function Container name The container within the account you specified where you want Adobe Analytics data to be sent. Key prefix The folder within the container where you want to put the data. Specify a folder name, then add a backslash after the name to create the folder. For example, folder_name/accordion Azure RBAC Specify the following information to configure an Azure RBAC location:
table 0-row-2 1-row-2 2-row-2 3-row-2 layout-auto Field Function Container name The container within the account you specified where you want Adobe Analytics data to be sent. Ensure that you grant permissions to upload files to the Azure application that you created earlier. Key prefix The folder within the container where you want to put the data. Specify a folder name, then add a backslash after the name to create the folder. For example, folder_name/Account name The Azure storage account. -
Select Save.
You can now import data from the account and location that you configured.
Data is not deleted from the cloud destination after it is imported.
note note NOTE If you previously used FTP to import classifications to Adobe Analytics, you needed to upload a FIN file. This FIN file is not needed when importing from cloud accounts.
