Update Customer Profile

	PUT /profiles/${customer_id}
	Available since 8.0.1

Description

Overrides the attributes of the customer profile: prior attribute values are lost and replaced with the attribute list specified in the body of the request. This operation uses the standard convention for HTTP PUT, which requires you to update the profile with the complete profile to avoid losing information. Your application should use this operation in conjunction with the Query Customer Profile operation:

1. Query the Customer Profile,
2. Modify the Customer Profile data,
3. Update the Customer Profile.

Extensions can be part of the profile used for the update:

• If your application does not include any extensions in the body, no modification occurs on extensions.
• If your application specifies extension values, extension information is overriden. Your application must specify the complete extension set to avoid losing data.

Operation

Prerequisites

• The profile schema exists (see Query Profile Schema).
• Your application retrieved the Customer Profile (see Query Customer Profile).
