These settings are used to define the Segment Builder, which is a service that can create a session segment from an external data source.

Enable Segment Directory Watcher When this option is enabled, the Segment Builder service polls the upload directory at regular intervals for files to use to build new segments. If the segment files are large (> 1 MB), this option should be disabled. The service checks for new files every 5 minutes when this option is disabled. Enabled
Integration ID prefix If this option is enabled, the search value is parsed from the data file record using the prefix string defined in the Integration ID prefix setting as the start and through the delimiter or an end of line as the end of the string.
  • If this option is disabled, then the parser iterates through each line using a defined column as the integration key.
  • When building a segment, this value is used with the Delimiter character for data records setting to parse the search value from the data. This prefix is used when the data may have multiple values that are concatenated into one field in the data file.
  • If the search term is clearly defined in a column of the data file, this configuration option is not necessary.
