Profile data migration
To make it easier to collect data to a Profile, Batch has added two automatic ways to migrate old installation's data on a Profile:
- User will be automatically identified (logged-in) if he had a Batch
custom_user_id
set on the local storage. - User natives (language/region) and custom data will be automatically migrated to a Profile.
These migrations are triggered when your application on the dashboard is attached to a Project. Concretely this mean that there's two possible scenarios:
- Your app is running on the SDK v1 and is already attached to a Project : migrations will be triggered on the first start running on SDK v2.
- Your app is running on the SDK v2 but not attached to a Project: migrations will be triggered on the first start after your app is attached to a project.
These migrations are enabled by default, but you may want to disable them, to do so add the following before starting the SDK:
- Kotlin
- Java
class YourApp : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
super.onCreate()
// Disable profile's migration
Batch.disableMigration(
EnumSet.of(
// Whether Batch should automatically identify logged-in user when running the SDK for the first time.
// This mean user with a custom_user_id will be automatically attached a to a Profile and could be targeted within a Project scope.
BatchMigration.CUSTOM_ID,
// Whether Batch should automatically attach current installation's data (language/region/customDataAttributes...)
// to the User's Profile when running the SDK for the first time.
BatchMigration.CUSTOM_DATA
)
)
// Then start the sdk
Batch.start("YOUR_API_KEY")
registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(BatchActivityLifecycleHelper())
}
}
