I have a SQL2 query that needs indexing: SELECT * FROM [nt:base] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/homepage/jcr:content]) But I got this error:no proper index was found for filter Filter(query=explain SELECT * FROM [nt:base] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/homepage/jcr:content]) , path=/content/homepage/jcr:content//*) Traversal query (query without index): explain SELECT * FROM [nt:base] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/homepage/jcr:content]) ; consider creating an index I was wondering which field I could create index for here? Because I don't see any fields being used that I can index... Thanks~!

I have just finished configuring Dispatcher and have apparently made a configuration error that I can't see m to fin.  I have a server with Author, Publisher, and IIS installed on it, and I have configured Dispatcher to work with IIS (AEM 5.6.1, Dispatcher-iis-windows-x64-4.1.4).  I have activated teh Publish agent from my Author instance and that is working fine, I see page changes when made.   When I go to the Publisher URL (http://localhost:4505/content/geometrixx/en.html) I get the correct page view.  When I go to http://localhost/content/geometrixx/en.html I get a 404 error.  My dispatcher log shows the following:[Mon Feb 24 15:04:42 2014] [D] [3704(6024)] Dispatcher initializing (build 4.1.4)[Mon Feb 24 15:04:42 2014] [D] [3704(6024)] farms[website].homepage = /geometrixx/en.html[Mon Feb 24 15:04:42 2014] [D] [3704(6024)] farms[website].cache.docroot = C:\inetpub\wwwroot[Mon Feb 24 15:04:42 2014] [I] [3704(6024)] Dispatcher initialized (build 4.1.4)[Mon Feb 24 15:04:42 2014] [D]

Hi - My organisation receives imagery from suppliers, which is directly uploaded into DAM. Creative team then does edits if the assets are not meeting quality standards, which then creates further versions. In this case original image received from supplier becomes version 1.0. If we don't do anything this 1.0 version gets dropped by the Version Cleanup process at some point as the number of versions increase. My organisation wants to retain this original version all the time and let the intermediate versions drop.Is there anyway I can retain the original version?Regards,Kiran

Hello All, Recently I noticed that ZIP files that are stored in the DAM and are referenced in websites do not show their references (links) in the Metadata properties / References tab. Other files like documents, pdfs and images of course show their reference links, but the ZIPs dont.... Is this a ZIP file thing, or bug, or... ? This is important because when conducting asset audit I usually prioritise deleting files that are not referencing and are expired. This potentially may lead to a very unpleasant situation and is nearly impossible to check. Running reports to scan for references does not pick it up either... Running on-prem version with SP22.  Thanks! 

Hi Community, I am working on an AEM as a Cloud Service project and facing an issue with Dispatcher caching. When I request pages with different Sling selectors, they are getting cached as the same response. For example, /content/my-site/page.print.html and /content/my-site/page.pdf.html both return the same cached content even though the selector is different.How can I configure Dispatcher in AEMaaCS so that different selectors are cached separately? Thanks for your help!

In our AEM 6.4.3.0 Author instance we are seeing a lot of generated workflow packages (~1800) in /etc/workflow/packages. Much more than there are running workflow instances. The Workflow Purge is configured to remove COMPLETED workflows older than 30 days but this doesn't seem to remove associated workflow packages.Is there a way to get rid of the old workflow packages?

If yes to the question above, how can I do it?--------------redirect = I want to redirect the user from page X to page Y based on certain conditions. I know I can use a filter for this one but just wondering if it can be done from a Sling model. Thank you!  

Hi Community, I’m creating Content Fragments for multiple languages in AEM. Each translation ends up as a separate fragment with its own UUID.Is there a recommended way to link or associate these fragments together so we know they represent different translations of the same object? Thanks for your help!

Hey there, does anyone here know if a Brand Portal user with Editor or Viewer level can share collections they create with other Brand Portal users? At the moment my Brand Portal instance only allows (BP) administrators to share collections with specific users. I would love users to be able to share amongst colleagues or other users (not the public option, but to specific users they want their collections to be shared with).

Is it possible to have a container with the multi property set to true ? Here is my model definition:"models": [ { "id": "cardlinksitem", "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name": "title", "value": "", "label": "Title", "valueType": "string" }, { "component": "container", "label": "Links", "name": "links", "valueType": "object", "multi": true, "fields": [ { "component": "text", "name": "title", "label": "Button Label", "valueType": "string" }, { "component": "text",

Hi,I’m working in a document-based authoring environment where content is managed through structured documents (possibly XML or JSON via an Enterprise Data Store). I need to fetch the placeholder text for an email input field dynamically from the EDS document and display it in a web form (as shown in the attached screenshot).Could someone help me understand:How do I retrieve the placeholder text value from a structured document in the EDS?What tags or keys should I look for (assuming XML/JSON)?What is the recommended approach to bind this value to a frontend form field's placeholder attribute?Are there specific APIs, query mechanisms, or CMS features used to extract such values in document-based systems?How do I ensure this content remains manageable for authors/editors without needing code changes?Any guidance, best practices, or example implementations would be really helpful.Thanks!

I already have a site running on AEM Cloud that was created a couple of years ago using the standard author and publisher flow. The site has multiple pages that are working fine.Now I want to integrate and utilize Edge Delivery Services (EDS) with this existing site and its pages.I have already gone through https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/events/experience-manager-gems-recordings/gems2024/aem-authoring-and-edge-delivery It says that a new site needs to be created and a GitHub repository must be linked to it, after which I can add pages to that new site. But what happens to the pages that already exist in other sites? Do I have to manually migrate all the pages from site XYZ (built using the standard author and publisher flow) to the new site ABC?

Page specific clientlibs in AEM   by @mukeshyadav_  Dear AEM Community,I would like to share a useful solution for enabling page-level control over Client-Side Libraries (Clientlibs) in AEM. Problem Overview: AEM by default allows authors to manage Clientlibs at the template level and component level but there are cases where authors may need the same level of control at the page level. For example, when using JavaScript libraries like Vue.js or React or any micro-frontend module, it is inefficient to load these libraries globally for every page. Additionally, managing the order and placement of these Clientlibs for optimized DOM rendering  that is it should load the clientlibs in footer which is ideal for perfect DOM rendering and performance of the page Solution Overview: The solution involves creating a custom page properties that allows authors to control the Clientlibs at the page level without affecting other pages of the same templates. Key Steps: C

Hi, Is there a way to retrieve the asset's metadata properties during a re-upload? Currently, when the same asset is re-uploaded, all the previous metadata properties are lost because new metadata is being written. How can we read the previous metadata before the asset is replaced?We are using AEM 6.5 Thank you. @arunpatidar @estebanbustamante @aanchal-sikka 

In our current project, when publishing a page, the workflow includes an approval process after which the page is given an onTime property so that it will be published automatically at the specified time. However, when the workflow adds the onTime property to the page, AEM first unpublishes the page and then republishes it automatically once the specified time is reached. My question is: when adding the onTime property to a page (e.g., /content/projectA/mypage/jcr:content), is it possible to suppress AEM’s default behavior of unpublishing the page? For reference, when the onTime property is added to content under /content/dam, the content is not unpublished—instead, it is simply published automatically once the onTime is reached.

We have started a workflow and assigned it to some user/group. Now, the notification goes to the respective user/group and they can view it by clicking on the bell icon.Now in inbox where we have the assigned tasks - there are some inbuilt options like "Complete", "Payload" etc that comes up when any workflow related task is selected. Refer to the following image for further clarity.Now, my requirement is to have custom options put in here as well - something like "Reject" which will straight away remove the task from the queue and send it back to the initiator of the workflow (author). And another one should be "Archive" which will basically have the page (if published) unpublished and then save it in some folder named Archive. Need some help on how to implement this.

I am trying to follow the documentation for creating Core Components based form fragments. It mentions to use template based on Core Components:But there are no template types or templates available for it. I have created and deployed the AEM project using archetype 45 as suggested in the documentation but there is no template for form fragments, only for creating form.Any help on this. cc @kautuk_sahni
