October 2024 LiveRamp Clean Room Release Notes

You can now view changes between versions of clean room questions and revert back to prior versions of a question. Versions are only available for staged questions. Published questions are considered complete and cannot be edited or changed back to a prior version. For more information, see “View Question History and Switch Versions”.

When you create a Flow, you are now able to consolidate runtime parameters into a single item. This makes it so that you only have to define parameter values once. For example, @brand in one question and @brand_name can be consolidated into a single @brand parameter at runtime.

PySpark Clean Compute nodes can now be used in Flows.

As part of the continued expansion of Flows functionality, we want to ensure that all Clean Room utilities can be used within a Flow. Flows will only use the “report” or “list” output of PySpark Clean Compute Questions, not other outputs (csv, pkl, json, etc.). For more information, see “Clean Compute on Apache Spark”.

For new customers, getting their data connected and getting started with clean rooms can be challenging, either because of security reviews or IT resource constraints. We’ve released a set of auto-provisionable generic data connections for advertiser and publisher datasets (curated by the Clean Room Analytics team) that can be used to get a sense of the clean room workflow without having to connect their own real data yet.

For more information on accessing these datasets, contact your LiveRamp Customer Success Manager.

Customers with Snowflake on Azure West EU can now create Snowflake pattern clean rooms.

The team is working to make all UI functions available via API and to simplify the user experience when using external APIs.
