Hi, there is no "Save and close" option in editing the properties for an AEM asset (image). Some images in the same folder do have this option to "Save and close" whereas images like below only have "Close" Is there any reason why it could be? Thank you 

Document Authoring - a New, Simple CMS for Edge Delivery Services by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction The first time I saw our partners at Adobe present document-based authoring, I thought it was a great solution for smaller and short-lived sites. However, most enterprises would probably not use it as it lacks advanced enterprise CMS features like automated translations, market/language rollouts, bulk updates, custom workflows, etc. Looks like Adobe might have gotten similar feedback from customers as they recently announced early access to a new, simple CMS for Edge Delivery Services (EDS) called Document Authoring (DA). DA is a user-friendly, high-performance, and highly available document-based authoring solution for managing, editing, and publishing sites. It’s built around the EDS document model, using concepts like blocks and sections. DA has an SDK, APIs, and integrated Adobe technologies to support modern content creation workflows. Adobe chose to name it "Docume

I'm currently preparing for the AEM DevOps certification and looking for good study resources.I’ve been going through the official Adobe documentation, but honestly, it feels quite scattered and hard to follow in a structured way.Does anyone have any beginner-friendly or well-organized learning resources (like blogs, courses, YouTube playlists, notes, or hands-on guides) that cover AEM DevOps topics like:AEM architecture (Author/Publish/Dispatcher)Setting up environmentsCI/CD with Jenkins or Cloud ManagerReplication agentsMonitoring and performance tuningIf you've already taken the certification, I’d really appreciate any preparation tips or insights as well!Thanks in advance!

Hello!I need to implement Security Headers in the PROD environment, but it is not working, but it works in the developer and stage environments.I use the website https://securityheaders.com/ to validate if the Headers are working and it returns a grade of F (no headers implemented) in the prod url, but returns a grade of A (excellent implementation) in the dev and stage publish links.All my backend files in the dev, stage and prod environments are the same, with the same implementations, but the headers only appear in the dev and stage publish, they do not appear in the Prod environment.

Why is my AEM QA instance experiencing service outages when I invoke a servlet that exports image paths to an Excel file, especially when large content trees are involved.Error  --   Service Outage: Looks like we are having some issues with our service. We are working hard to bring it online again. Context & What I’m Trying to Achieve:I have developed a utility tool in AEM that:  • Accepts a page path input from a custom UI (utility tool in AEM console).• Hits a servlet (/bin/export-image-paths).• This servlet recursively traverses the page and its child pages, reads all components, extracts image paths from each component’s properties• Checks if the image exists in DAM.• Writes the results into an Excel file using XSSFWorkbook.• Returns the Excel file as a download. Requirements/Expectations:• The tool should support any valid AEM page path (e.g., /content/wknd/us/en/TestPages) etc.• The servlet should work reliably in Dev, QA, and Stage environments.• The

Hi everyone,I’ve implemented a simple Sling scheduled job in Cloud Service. It works perfectly in my local SDK, but once deployed to the dev environment, the job never seems to run - and there are no related logs or errors.Below the core code:@8220494(service = Runnable.class,immediate = true,configurationPolicy = ConfigurationPolicy.REQUIRE)@Designate(ocd = MyScheduledTask.Config)public class MyScheduledTask implements Runnable {@ObjectClassDefinition(name = "My Scheduled Task Configuration")public @interface Config {@AttributeDefinition(name = "CRON Expression")String scheduler_expression() default "0 */1 * * * ?"; // Every 1 minute@AttributeDefinition(name = "Concurrent execution")boolean scheduler_concurrent() default false;}private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyScheduledTask.class);@580286@9182423protected void activate(Config config) {LOG.info("Scheduled Task configured with expression: {}", config.scheduler_expression());}@9944223public void run() {LOG.info

I have configured a dedicated egress IP address for my AEM as a Cloud Service environment following the Cloud Manager settings. I have enabled the dedicated egress IP with the IP range. However, outbound traffic still does not seem to originate from the dedicated IP address.What common steps or configurations might I be missing to make this setup work correctly? Are there any specific settings related to port forwarding or non-proxy hosts that need special attention?Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be appreciated!For reference, I followed the official Adobe doc here:https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/networking/dedicated-egress-ip-address

Hi, If we have some pages and content fragments (used for filters) tagged with certain tag values listed in the AEM Tag Console, and we no longer want those tags to be used or visible to authors, will unpublishing the tags in AEM Tag console cause any issues or breaks in the pages and content fragments experience that were already tagged with those values? Thanks,Shashank

Hi all, I want to learn how AEM On Premise DevOps could be implemented using a tool like Jenkins. How the pipelines are built. Is there any tutorial or nice process documentation please? Appreciate all your replies. Thanks,RK.

Hi everyone,I'm working on an AEM project where we’ve developed a custom “Podcast” component that allows editors to embed podcast content from different platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Podigee, and SoundCloud using iframes.For platforms like SoundCloud and Podigee, I know there are libraries or SDKs available that allow tracking of playback events (such as play, pause and progress milestones) even when embedded via iframe.However, I’m currently looking for a way to do the same for Apple Podcasts embeds, specifically to capture events like play, pause and playback milestones (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and send those events to Adobe Analytics.From my research, Apple Podcasts embeds (via https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/...) doesn’t expose a public JavaScript API or any event listeners due to cross-origin restrictions.Still, I’d like to ask:Does anyone know of any libraries or workarounds to track user interactions on Apple Podcasts iframes?Have you ever implemente

Hi all, We have a strange issue in our setup - We are using Imperva as WAF and has been configured correctly by doing the below things following Customer managed CDN points to AEM managed CDN-Point WAF to the Adobe CDN’s ingress as its origin domain.Set SNI to the Adobe CDN’s ingress.Set the Host header to the origin domain. For example: Host:publish-p<PROGRAM_ID>-e<ENV-ID>.adobeaemcloud.com.Set the X-Forwarded-Host header with the domain name so AEM can determine the host header. For example: X-Forwarded-Host:example.com.Set X-AEM-Edge-Key. The value should be configured using a Cloud Manager config pipeline, as described in this article.Once done the requests from www.abc.com are getting routed to AEM successfully but the request from naked domain "abc.com" are not working.The certificate installed at WAF is valid for both abc.com and www.abc.com so it should have worked same for both. So we are left with the situation where in abc.com is not getting served and

Hey guys, I am working on oak indexing and I have the below issue - There is a customization of an OOTB index cqPageLucene. We are adding some additional paths to index by adding properties "includedPaths=/content/commerce/offers" and "querypaths=/content/commerce/offers"Else, the index is exactly the same as OOTB index. Following Index Names -Customization of an OOTB index. These are indicated by appending -custom- followed by a numerical identifier to the original index name. For example: /oak:index/cqPageLucene-custom-1However, the deployment of the above index is leading to AEM Sites Search not working on the authoring site.Removing the index is fixing the problem. We tried below 2 approaches to fix the problem -Rename the index to cqPageLucene-custom-2Rename the index altogether to something custom like cqOffer-custom-1But ideally even the first index name cqPageLucene-custom-1 is correct and should have worked! BR,Nagesh

Hi everyone,I'm investigating a POST request to the following endpoint in our AEM as a Cloud Service environment: POST /content/dam/<project>/it/folder.bulkassets.delete From the Developer Console, I can see it's handled by the standard servlet:com.day.cq.dam.commons.ui.impl.servlets.BulkDeleteServlet(from the com.day.cq.dam.cq-dam-commons bundle). I'm trying to understand what UI action triggers this servlet. I expected it to be related to selecting multiple assets in the DAM console and clicking "Delete", but when I perform that action, I only see requests to /bin/wcmcommand.Has anyone seen this servlet in action? Specifically:Which UI or user action triggers bulkassets.delete?Is it used only in the classic DAM console, or also in the Universal Editor?Could it be triggered by automated processes or scripts?Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,We're using a custom ACS Commons Generic List as a data-source for dropdowns in our Content Fragment Models. Initially, when we update the data-source node in CRXDE to point to our custom Generic List, everything works as expected—the dropdown populates correctly.However, the issue arises when we open the model in the AEM UI and save it. The sling: resource Type of the data-source node reverts to the default:dam/cfm/admin/components/datasources/optionrendererenumeration. It seems like the model editor is overwriting our custom data-source configuration upon save. This behaviour is causing our dropdown to lose the custom list reference.Are there any recommended approaches to persist the custom data-source configuration or prevent the UI from resetting it?Please provide any suggestions or workarounds if possible.Thank you so much in advance!

Hello, Universal Editor supports Experience Fragments (XF) [1], but does this work in combination with Edge Delivery Services (EDS)? There is an EDS block called Fragment [2], but the sample is built only for document-based editing, and I am not sure if it works with AEM. Has anyone tried it? Does it work? Which resource type should be used for the XF page and components?

Hi All, We are currently on aem 6.5.10 on prem aem.We have a requirement to populate the dropdown [enumeration] dynamically in content fragment model. However, when i tried to create a model with datatype as enumeration , this is what gets created , datasource with sling:resourceType as dam/cfm/admin/components/datasources/optionrendererWith this even the static values given in model are not getting rendered in content fragment created from that model.Now , when I update the resourceType for datasource to 'dam/cfm/admin/components/datasources/optionrendererenumeration' , the static values get populated (The reason I tried this was, since for options added it created optionsMultifield node and then when i went and checked the dam/cfm/models/editor/components/datatypeproperties/optionsmultifield/optionsmultifield.html , i found that it resolves to datassourcedam/cfm/admin/components/datasources/optionrendererenumeration", line no 37 Now I have to make the dropdown val

Hello, I am wanting to build my own Page Report. The default Page Report is almost what I need.

Hi All,I'm currently working on cleaning up inactive users and groups from our system. However, before I go ahead and delete these I want to create a backup. Just in case there are any issues later then I can revert to this package to restore everything.I tried creating the backup using ACL Packager available as part of ACS commons and deployed that to my local in order to test it out. I used the "MergePreserve" option for Access Control Handling while deploying the package. However, I find a few properties missing here and there for all the user groups (attached screenshots).Higher environment:Local:Would really appreciate any suggestions for creating a complete backup of the users, groups and all their permissions. Thank youHarshita Malhotra
