Adobe Experience Manager

I meant this AEMaaCS section where I can define environment variables. I'll be using them as OSGI config. Also, do these values come in as a list of string or string array? Thanks! 

I am working on an issue that needed me to install SDK version 2024.10.18311 locally and ensure I get a successful build with no issues. I’ve done it and the build was successful. I also got the necessary org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.commons;version="2.2.0", but upon testing my local content, no components and contents are displayed despite successfully installing it via Package Manager. Pages and assets are present, but no components. Please help. Any documentation or solutions will be appreciated.

After purchasing Adobe’s Digital Asset Management solution, metadata is the most critical aspect while starting your asset management journey. Managing metadata gets completely out of the control of the administrators once the assets are distributed to the users. Effective asset metadata ensures better search, which is the ultimate destination for any DAM tool.Here are the recommended steps that you must execute before starting to migrate your assets to AEM:Step 1: How would you filter the assets that exist in the repository? Answer this question and create the list of fields that you need.Think about your users on how they will search assets that exist in the repository and then work backward to create such properties for your assets.Step 2: Revisit all existing properties and eliminate redundant onesLook for properties that seem irrelevant or duplicates of the existing properties and remove them from the list of required properties for Adobe’s DAM.Step 3: Segregate the propertie

Hi,I’m trying to optimize oak indexes in a Clou. We have a few custom queries that are running very slow, and after checking explain plans, it looks like they’re falling back to traversal. I know AEMaaCS doesn’t allow direct CRXDE changes, so indexes need to be managed via code deployments. What’s the best way to properly define and deploy a custom oak:index in Cloud Service, and how can I safely test changes before pushing them through Cloud Manager? Also, are there tools or recommended steps to validate whether the new index is actually being used by queries? Thanks!

I’m running into an issue with the multifield container in AEM Universal Editor. When I try to reorder items, instead of simply moving them, a duplicate entry is created. To reproduce:I have three tabs defined (tab1, tab2, tab3).When I drag tab3 to the second position, the result is: tab1, tab3, tab2, tab3.So the tab I moved is duplicated: the original one moves to the target position, and a second one is created at the end. This is my container model configuration:  const model: ComponentModel = { id: componentId, fields: [ { component: "select", name: "tabVariant", label: "Tab variant", valueType: "string", options: [ ... ], }, { component: "container", name: "tabSettings", label: "Tab Settings", valueType: "string", collapsible: false, multi: true, fields: [ { component: "text", name: "tabLabel"

We are migrating a customer project to the Cloud and for customer's needs we are using the LDAPIdentityProvider in publish to synchronize certain data from users.We are currently facing an intermittent exception during TLS Handshake. This error sometimes happens and stays for a while, then suddenly disappears and the calls work without issues.This issue only happens in AEMaaCS, when accessing from local or on-premise systems it works fine.Exception during authentication: Error while connecting to the ldap server.

I am currently transitioning button rules from an adaptive form to client libs. In my rules I have the following. var operationInfo = {            "formDataModelId": "/content/test/formsanddocuments-fdm/myproject/samplepostgres",            "operationTitle": "Fetch From Attachment Form",            "operationName": "fetch"        };        var inputs = {            "id": id.value        };        var outputs = {            "id": id,            "name": name,            "description": description        };        guidelib.dataIntegrationUtils.executeOperation(operationInfo, inputs, outputs, null, null,); This works as expected. It fetches the data using

Is it expected behavior that if we insert an image from outside the UUID Guides repository (from the AEM/Marketing side of the repository) and apply a condition to that image, that the PDF generation fails? If we do not apply the condition, PDF generation (Native PDF Publishing) works fine. The PDF generation only fails if we apply a condition to the image. (We're trying to consolidate duplicate images between AEM and AEM Guides.) Thanks. AEM 6.5.21 (on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)AEM Guides v4.6 (UUID, on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)

Hi All, I need to check readiness of my AEM applications/code to upgrade to AEM 6.5 LTS by running AEM 6.5 LTS Analyzer.I have gone through this page https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65-lts/content/implementing/deploying/upgrading/aem-analyzer and understand that analyzer tool would generate a report which prepares issues from different categoriesApplication functionality that must be refactoredRepository items that must be moved to a supported locationConfiguration issuesAEM 6.5 features that have been removed by new functionality or that are currently not supported on AEM 6.5 LTSRemove Java and Guava API usagelater, there is another section talking about 'Content Transformer', what i understood from this is, it removes/delete typically JCR nodes by packaging under '/etc/packages/modernizer-content-transformation' as a backup, but the goal (checking readiness) is not fulfilled yet, I wonder what will be the next steps?Need to go through

Hi Everyone,I have a requirement to move our customized Adobe components into a proxy folder and update all content that currently references these components so they point to the new proxy versions.Example:Current component: buttonNew proxy component: buttonglThis means I need to update all pages to use the proxy component by modifying the sling:resourceType for every instance of the old button.Adobe Support recommended importing the content into code, applying the updates there, and then deploying through Cloud Manager (since we’re on AEM Cloud).I tried this approach in a demo project, but so far I don’t see my changes reflected in the AEM instance — currently testing on localhost. Steps I followed:Created a demo project, authored a new content page, and synced back to source code for making changes  2: Filter.xml  3: build using command: mvn clean install -PautoInstallSinglePackage4: Verify the changes are reflected in crxdeContent.xml<?xml version="1.0"

I'm working with AEM 6.5 and looking to optimize performance by configuring the minRecordLength property under org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.blob.datastore.FileDataStore.The documentation recommends setting this to 100 to ensure binaries (like DITA files) are saved in the Data Store instead of the Segment Store for better performance.However, I have a few questions:How can I verify where the binaries are currently being stored — Segment Store or Data Store — especially for different file types and sizes?If I don’t see the minRecordLength in the Felix Console (/system/console/configMgr), how do I confirm what value is being used by default?After setting minRecordLength=100, is there a reliable way (via logs or tools) to confirm that new uploads are being saved in Data Store?What metrics or logs should I track to evaluate performance improvements (e.g., segment size growth, compaction, GC)?I’ve uploaded files like small.txt and used scripts: def assetPath = "/content/dam/test-up

Hi Team, Initially, the code worked as expected without using the embed property, while running on AMS AEM 6.5 (exact service pack version unknown). We are using the org.apache.sling.servlet-helpers dependency, which is correctly declared in the pom.xml. However, we suddenly encountered an issue with the target sync functionality. Upon debugging, we discovered that the servlet-helpers JAR was missing. The JAR is not visible in the AEM console or listed among the active bundles. To resolve this, we applied the embed property to include the JAR under the /apps folder. Unfortunately, this workaround has led to Sonar issues related to the dependency. We are currently using AEM version 6.5.21. The servlet-helpers JAR is available in AEM as a Cloud Service, but it appears to be missing in AEM 6.5. We're unsure whether it was replaced or bundled within another JAR. Is it acceptable to manually install the JAR via the AEM console under bundles, or is there a recommended way to restore it? Addi

Hi, I was using the save draft feature in one of my adaptive form, but facing an issue while saving the supporting documents. I tried saving the form without supp docs, and it saved. But whenever I try saving by adding the supp docs, its throwing an error.It says "error occurred while draft saving".AEM version used: 6.5.21.0 So, please provide some insights regarding this.

might be best explain with an example: I have a servlet that returns true or false if HTTP post is successful.I also have a javax filter that checks if a user still has a session. if no session, redirect the user to the login page.User has 2 browser tabs open and both of them are displaying a form (could be the same or different forms).in tab1, user logs out.in tab2, user decides to submit the form (which is calling an servlet).In my filter and when processing the request for tab2, I w ant to redirect the user to the login page since they already logged out in tab1.How can I do this? I have tried response.sendRedirect and request.getRequestDispatcher. Both of them does not redirect the user to another page. Thanks

I have a requirement for creating multiple renditions for asset on upload. Hence, I have modified the OOTB DAM Update Asset Workflow to create multiple web renditions. The workflow runs fine on the assets. I was trying to use AEM ACS Commons Bulk Workflow Manger to run the workflow on the existing assets which are in millions. The issue I am facing is while using the Bulk Workflow Manager, selecting Bulk Workflow Runner > AEM Workflow, the renditions gets created properly. Whereas on selecting Bulk Workflow Manager > Synthetic (Single Threaded) or Synthetic (Multiple Threaded), the renditions doesn't get created properly although the Workflow execution is completed for all the assets. To replicate the issue:AEM Version: 6.5.20ACS AEM Commons: 6.2.0 / 6.5.0 (Tested with both versions) 1. Add web rendition creation step in DAM Update Workflow2. Make the DAM Update Workflow as NON-TRANSIENT (To have the logs track on workflow execution)2. Use ACS AEM Commons, Bulk Workflow

How to Automate AEM Offline Revision Cleanupby @giuseppebaglio  Dear AEM Community, I'd like to share my recently published article exploring how to transform the critical but tedious process of AEM Offline Revision Cleanup into an automated, one-command operation. IntroductionAEM's Oak repository eventually suffers from performance issues as unused data accumulates. My article presents a Bash script that transforms the tedious manual cleanup process into a single-command operation with built-in safety checks. This automation approach not only saves time but also reduces human error risk during critical maintenance operations. Key Points-  A powerful Bash script that automates AEM Offline Revision Cleanup with built-in safety checks.-  More than just a wrapper for oak-run.jar—it includes pre-flight checks, path validation, interactive prompts, and atomic operations.-  Features robust argument parsing, a streamlined Oak command engine, and safegua
