Adobe Campaign Schema - Template vs Aggregate

While looking into the schema, I saw in some places we are referring to an element of a different schema instead of declaring it again and again. But in some places, it is done using template attribute and other places use aggregate attribute.
So to test, I though of using the element "auditTrail" declared inside the library xtk:common
The element is as as below

  <element name="auditTrail">
    <element defOnDuplicate="true" name="createdBy" template="xtk:common:createdBy"/>
    <element defOnDuplicate="true" name="modifiedBy" template="xtk:common:modifiedBy"/>
    <attribute defOnDuplicate="true" default="GetDate()" desc="Creation date" label="Creation date"
               name="created" type="datetime"/>
    <attribute defOnDuplicate="true" default="GetDate()" desc="Modification date"
               label="Last modified" name="lastModified" pkgStatus="always" type="datetime"/>
  </element>

I inserted the element inside one of my schema as below using both of aggregate and template
<element ...>
....
    <element aggregate="xtk:common:auditTrail" name="Audit" label="Audit using aggregate" />
    <element template="xtk:common:auditTrail" name="AuditTempl" label="Audit using template" />
 
  </element>

And here is the outcome. Aggregate doesn't add a grouping element with the label provided whereas template does.

Note, template attribute is used as an attribute of attribute declaration element as below too.
<attribute name="phone" template="nms:common:phone"/>

Here the template destination entity has to be declared as an element as below from the nms:common schema
<element dataPolicy="phone" desc="Phone number" label="Phone" length="32" name="phone" type="string"/>

Avoid Proxy for HttpClientRequest - IOB-090007 Network error (send(), errno=10054: an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

This is Friday night 8:10 PM and I was frustratingly stuck with an annoying issue on something that I have done so many times, but still unable to figure out what is wrong since last night. Finally it was a silly mistake and I found that. So wanted to capture it so that I don't need to spend another day and half just to figure out why the same thing is not working I was making a call to Silverpop XMLAPI to get the jessionid via the login method. And the code is something like below, very basic one var http = new HttpClientRequest ( "http://api2.ibmmarketingcloud.com/XMLAPI" ); try { http . method = 'POST' ; http . header [ "ClientId_Internal" ] = "XYZABCD" ; http . header [ "ClientSecret_Internal" ] = "DSFDSOFNJSDF" ; http . header [ "Content-Type" ] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ; var reqestBody = "xml=" + encodeURIComponent ( "...

Looping using subset inside a big batch in Adobe Campaign

Image
 I had many scenarios where I ran a costly query to select some good no of records and then process them further. But when it comes to processing I had to restrict the number of records to be processed in one go. And once the subset is processed, then select from the table again and then process the subset. Something like below where the end activity calls the signal when the complement from Split has more than 0 records to start the whole process again. But the problem is every time you have to run the costly select process to process a fraction of the records. As a result the overall throughput is decreased heavily. As an alternate I used a looping through the selected records avoiding selection every time I need to process the subset. Here the JS Activity after select is dummy one but required. I added a log in it with count. Test activity is also needed to ensure we have the exit path from the loop. In the above example the select query fetched 8680 records and then split restr...
