Keep Your AEM Content on the Rails by IRINA STANILA Abstract According to Research and Markets, experts predict that the web content management market will grow from $4.91 billion in 2017 to $10.63 billion by 2022. Content management is more than just a matter of filling website pages with text and images. Successful content management requires creating a proper strategy and clear decision-making from Day 1. After working with clients on their Adobe Experience Manager Sites and Assets implementations for the last few years, I have compiled a list of suggested best practices to follow to make sure that as a content owner, you get what you need from your content. Start with a Model - Make content structure decisions early One of the most critical content decisions you’ll make is the definition of your site structure. This should occur before development. Why is this important? This decision will impact how you use AEM going forward. You want your pages to be easily found in Author fo

JDK 11.0.14 has a well known major P1 bug where it incorrectly inserts both host and authority header with http 2.0 requests, causing http 400 malformed exception responses when hitting nginx and other API providers (notably google) This is the bug in 11.0.14:https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8218546https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2022:0733It has been patched some time ago in 11.0.14.1 On monday 28th March 2022 at 12:30, adobe changed the java version to the unpatched 11.0.14, on production, without telling us, taking down all our production sites - we were suddenly getting 504 for all the api calls to various backend systems made from within AEM. As we had not changed anything, and there was no restart in the logs, it was extremely hard to debug this, and we were down for a day, losing significant revenue and customer confidence.    We created support tickets with Adobe, but it took them 2 days to respond.  Two days down would be

Panera Bread drives highly personalized guest experiences with the Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform by Julie Hoffmann Abstract Omnichannel is reshaping the world of fast casual dining, and Panera Bread is at the forefront. A full slate of services, including curbside pickup, in-store kiosks, contactless dine-in, and home delivery, have bridged the digital and physical experience for guests. Recently, residents in the town of Ballwin, MO, welcomed a next-generation bakery-café that brings together all these digital technologies with the trademark warmth of the Panera dining experience.

Manage publication in Experience Manager Assets by Adobe Abstract As an Adobe Experience Manager Assets administrator, you can publish assets and folders containing assets from your author instance to Experience Manager Assets, Dynamic Media, and Brand Portal. Also, you can schedule the publish workflow of an asset or folder to a later date or time. Once published, the users can access and further distribute the assets to other users. By default, you can publish assets and folders to Experience Manager Assets. However, you can configure Experience Manager Assets to enable publishing to Dynamic Media and Brand Portal. You can publish or unpublish assets at the asset or folder level, using either Quick Publish or Manage Publication option available in the Experience Manager Assets interface. If you make subsequent modifications to the original asset or folder in Experience Manager Assets, the changes are not reflected in the publish instance until you republish from Experience Manager

Reimagining Replication Agents on AEM as a Cloud Service by Damian Langsweirdt & Amol Anand Abstract Part of the journey when evaluating how to migrate to AEM as a Cloud Service involves taking a look at your current AEM implementation to see if there are any incompatibilities or areas which will require refactoring. This may include reviewing documentation, code, and running the Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) tool. One area which may be highlighted during your review is replication agents. In the pre-Cloud Service model, numerous situations called for replication agents. This article won’t cover all use cases, but you can read more background here. With Cloud Service and its new architecture, the rules have changed in this area. Read on for some tips on navigating this change. Author to Publish For standard publishing, or copying content from an author environment to a publish environment, this is handled out-of-the-box with Cloud Service — no custom agents required. See here. P

What is an HTML template tag? | How to use HTML template tag in AEM(Adobe Experience Manager) by Albin Issac Abstract In this post, let us explore what an HTML template tag is and how to use an HTML template tag within AEM components. The tag stores HTML code fragments, which can be cloned and inserted into an HTML document. The tag's content is hidden from users being stored on the client-side. It is inert until activated using JavaScript — the content inside the template tag is not loaded, e.g., Script doesn't run, images don't load, and audio doesn't play until the template is used/activated through javascript. The HTML is not to be rendered immediately when a page is loaded but maybe instantiated subsequently during runtime using JavaScript. Template elements can be placed anywhere inside of,, or and can contain any syntactically correct HTML. The template tag helps render the repeated content through a predefined template — clone the predefined template, fill the dynamic cont

MS Dynamics Authentication Protocol announcement     Microsoft is deprecating the WS-Trust authentication protocol for Dataverse on Microsoft Dynamics 365. This means that MS Dynamics 365 customers using Basic Authentication (just ID and password) need to switch to OAuth based connection to use the native Marketo Engage connector before April ’22.       Please follow this doc page to complete the upgrade in a few easy steps.  You may also go through this video for S2S and WebAPI set up steps.     If you own a Sandbox instance, it is recommended to perform the update for the Sandbox environment first followed by Production.         Customer may optionally raise a Microsoft support ticket to extend the date for WS-Trust protocol by a maximum of 4 weeks. You would need to submit it before March 24th 2022 for them to consider it.    You may also post any queries on the process to -

Hello Analytics Community!I know there has been some discussion over the last few years on doing better date comparisons within Analysis Workspace (YoY, MoM, WoW, etc.). There was an enhancement put in a while ago to allow the graphs to appropriately display the compared dates.I'm hoping to gather some feedback about what would be most beneficial for our users and understand what will make this more useful and easier for you to get to answers regarding these comparisons.Please feel free to leave a comment or, if you are willing, find a time that would work for you to schedule a 30-minute discussion to discuss with me. Thank you!

A people-centered approach to AI by Adobe Abstract In recent years, the debates surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) have grown at a pace that’s arguably been surpassed only by advances in the tech itself. In business, for example, there is a lack of consensus around the most impactful use-cases for AI. It’s therefore not surprising that more than three out of four businesses say they’re barely breaking even from their AI investments, even as a supermajority consider it a mainstream technology—according to research from PWC. Discussions in the social sciences focus on even greater stakes, from the impact of bias in AI, to concerns about safety and security, to the question of whether the tech could have dire consequences for humanity. The common thread across these debates is the question of humanity’s role in AI’s future. Some see AI’s greatest promise in areas where AI replaces human beings and human endeavor. At Adobe, we see things differently. We take a people-centric appro

Demystifying Oak Search: Exploring Indexes with Luke by Dan Klco Abstract The Oak Indexes and Queries used by AEM and Apache Sling for searching content are powerful and cloaked in an aura of mystery. Let's work together to pierce that veil, so you can develop AEM / Apache Sling applications to take advantages of the strengths of searching in Oak without experiencing the painful pitfalls. Let's start with Oak Indexes, the feature that makes Oak queries performant. To understand something, we must observe it. While there are some features in AEM to give us a glimpse into the indexes, such as: Oak Index Stats WebConsole Oak Index Definitions WebConsole Lucene Index statistics MBean However, they provide a limited, abstracted view of the indexes. We need to dive deeper. To do so, we can use a tool called Luke to open and explore the Lucene indexes used by AEM & Apache Sling. An aside on Lucene vs Other Index Types This series will be referring to Lucene indexes as AEM as a Clou

We have been facing issues with Clientlibs update. Every time we push new changes to the existing clientlibs, after deployment , it still shows the older one. We are using AEM as cloud, and have tried rebuilding the Clientlibs/clearing the clientlib cache(/libs/granite/ui/content/dumplibs.rebuild.html), but this doesnt work.The workaround is to always update new category name for the client lib, and thus it identifies a new client lib altogether when deployed.Isn't AEM already versioning and rebuilding clientlibs. Any support please.

We are attempting to connect to SharePoint using a swagger file and the REST API. We have been able to authenticate using OAuth 2.0 but are hitting a roadblock when trying to test any services contained in the swagger file. We recently were able to do this with ServiceNow and are hoping to do the same thing with SharePoint. The redirect_uris match and the application has been given full control in SharePoint. Thank you. @workflowuser

Governance might sound like a "leadership problem," but it’s a key concept every Workfront System Administrator must address. The good news is, you can start small, maybe with just a glossary of terms or a small working group, and evolve your practices over time.In this on-demand webinar, originally broadcast on March 30, 2022, Tyler Holt (@tylerholt-adobe), a Consultant in Workfront’s Success Services organization, and Luke Ramlow (@lukera), Application Analyst at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, covered:What governance in Workfront actually meansExamples of different types of governanceWays governance can evolve and mature over timeMayo Clinic College of Medicine’s multi-year journey to full scale governance (spoiler alert, it didn’t happen overnight!)You can view the recording here and a copy of the slides is attached.

Managing AEM Repository Size Growth by Anuj Gangwar Abstract Managing your AEM repository size growth can be challenging for numerous reasons. What’s more, it may suddenly start to grow unexpectedly and fill up space in the assigned drive of your AEM application. In this post, I want to share a few AEM utilities & methods which can help you to not only manage the AEM repository size but also help to improve the AEM application performance. 1: Tar Compaction (also known as Revision Cleanup) By running the regular tar compaction, you can not only control the AEM repository size growth, but it will also help improve the AEM application performance. Tar compaction reclaims the disk space by removing the obsolete/redundant data from your AEM application. You can use both online and offline compaction. You can schedule online Tar compaction during weekdays after business hours & offline compaction on weekends (Non-business hours or during your designated Maintenance Window). 2: G
