Proposed workflow

Metric or analytical result reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving Adobe Analytics Metrics or the proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Adobe Analytics Metrics and the proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyCompare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Metrics / Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name) to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Identify a metric by definition/version, dimensions, time window, and entity key. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Adobe Analytics and Google Cloud SQL record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Metrics / Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Adobe Analytics and Google Cloud SQL need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Adobe Analytics / Google Cloud SQL migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Metric or analytical result reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Metrics or Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Adobe Analytics Metrics and Google Cloud SQL Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve entity keys, time zones, aggregation grain, and any currency/unit conversions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

If it fails: Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

Application user or identity reporting workflow

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Users or Proposed application user or identity table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Adobe Analytics Users and Google Cloud SQL Proposed application user or identity table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve tenant and group references and establish a protected administrative-account policy.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.

If it fails: Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.

Compare Adobe Analytics and Google Cloud SQL reporting data

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: An analytical result from Adobe Analytics must be reconciled with or displayed alongside a selected destination dataset.

  1. Select Metrics or Calculated Metrics and record what each row measures, how records are grouped, the timezone, and the reporting cutoff.
  2. Map the analytical entity key to the business record in Google Cloud SQL; an aggregate row is not equivalent to an individual transaction.
  3. If an output will be written back, name its owner and carry a computation timestamp so stale results can be recognized.

Expected result: Totals compare the same time window and level of detail; late-arriving data produces a traceable revision rather than an unexplained overwrite.

If it fails: Recompute the selected window and check entity mapping before sending the result again.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Metrics / Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name)

Test case

Compare identical time windows and dimensions; test late-arriving data and a recalculated metric.

Expected result

The expected metric or analytical result relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Users / Proposed application user or identity table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name)

Test case

Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.

Expected result

The expected application user or identity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated metric or analytical result change

Investigate

Inspect Adobe Analytics Metrics and Google Cloud SQL Proposed metric or analytical result table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Recompute the intended window before retrying an output; avoid overwriting a newer result with an older computation.

Rejected or repeated application user or identity change

Investigate

Inspect Adobe Analytics Users and Google Cloud SQL Proposed application user or identity table in Google Cloud SQL (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Adobe Analytics and Google Cloud SQL connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
