As a reminder, the Campaign Audit Report v1 (also known as ABCAR) and UI Export functionality will be deprecated and removed from MRM as of December 22, 2020 (6.39.1 Release). 

What this means:

As of December 22, 2020

  • Clients will no longer have access to ABCAR v1 as it will be deprecated and removed from the MRM UI.
  • Clients will no longer be able to export the Campaign Audit Report in the UI.
  • Clients can access Campaign Audit Report v2 via FTP (this is not available for ABCAR v1).
  • Clients that have not yet prepared for the upgrade to Campaign Audit Report v2 will experience breaks in your data ingestion pipeline as some fields/formats have been changed or removed from v2.

How can I prepare?

All Booked Campaign Audit Report v2 was released May 15, 2020.  To help prepare for the Campaign Audit Report (v1) deprecation, FreeWheel began delivering both versions of the report (v1 and v2) to clients' FTP beginning in May 2020.


The table below provides a list of differences between v1 and v2 of the Campaign Audit Report. For more information, please see Campaign Audit Reports.

ChangeDescription
Change in available report data formatsCampaign Audit Report v1 had multiple report formats available including:
  • Active Only
  • Last Edited < 3/6/9/12 Months
  • Exclude End Date > 1 or 18 Months
  • All Booked

Due to the complexity of the above, this caused a delay in FTP delivery. Campaign Audit Report v2 solves for this by providing a different data set which allows it to be populated daily and reflect data as of 00:00:00 today. 

Removing and introducing new fields

In v1, the following fields were available:

  • Override
  • Included Content Targeting
  • Included Advanced Content Targeting
  • Excluded Content Targeting
  • Included Geo Targeting
  • Is Daypart Targeted
  • Exclusivity Type

UI Export functionality removed/FTP Delivery Only

Clients will no longer have the ability to export the Campaign Audit Report from the UI as of December 22, 2020.

The Campaign Audit Report v2 is available via FTP only.

•  Reminder: Campaign Audit Report v1 will no longer be available via FTP as of the release.

Clients are encouraged to use both report versions to compare and verify data, and then make the necessary adjustments to their data ingestion pipeline to the new format to prepare for the deprecation.
