ATG Outreach uses the same internal/external profile repository models as the ATG platform.
If you do not run the ATG Outreach server with the –layer Preview option, the following repository configuration is used:
ATG Outreach Profile Repository Model without Preview
In this model, the ATG Outreach server references two profile repositories:
An
InternalProfileRepository, which stores profiles for internal ATG Outreach users (for example the default Campaigns Administrator user). This repository references the versioned database.A
ProfileAdapterRepository, which points to the production (unversioned) database. This repository is used by all ATG Outreach features that query customer profile data, including the segment editor, the segment count feature, and the Profile Browser, which allows users to view a list of the profiles included in a segment.
The ATG Outreach Production/Staging module references an instance of the ProfileAdapterRepository that points to the production (unversioned) database. This repository is used to store customer profiles.
If you run the ATG Outreach server with the –layer Preview option so that you can use e-mail preview features, the following model is used instead of the one shown previously:
ATG Outreach Profile Repository Model with Preview Enabled
This model is different from the non-preview version in the following ways:
A
ProfileAdapterRepositoryinstance on the asset management server is used to store a set of profiles used by preview features. Specifically, this component references dps* tables (for example,dps_user) in the versioned database.For querying customer data through the segment count feature and the Profile Browser, ATG Outreach uses an
ExternalProfileRepository, which points to the production (unversioned) database.Note that the segment editor itself still refers to the
ProfileAdapterRepositoryon the asset management server, as it does when preview is not enabled.
The ATG Outreach Production/Staging module references an instance of the ProfileAdapterRepository that points to the production (unversioned) database. This repository is used to store customer profiles.
For information on configuring these repositories, refer to the ATG Business Control Center Administration and Development Guide.
