Segments (also known as profile groups) represent different groups in your customer base. To log segment data for reporting, the /atg/reporting/datacollection/userprofiling/SegmentChangeListenerService listens for ConfigurationEvents. These events occur when updates, deletions, or insertions are made to segments. The listener sends details of segment changes to the /atg/reporting/datacollection/userprofiling/SegmentFileLogger via a data collection queue. The SegmentFileLogger creates the log entry.
Segment log files contain the following:
Timestamp
Name of the repository to which segments are bound within the repository group container, specified in
/atg/registry/RepositoryGroupsItem type, which is always
segmentA
repository:namecombination, which uniquely identifies the segment. For example,UserProfile:HighValueCustomers.Change type (INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE)
Segment name
Segment description from the
serviceInfoproperty of the associated Nucleus component
