Adobe Experience Manager

Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS) introduced a stricter and more explicit approach to configuration management. Configuration is no longer a runtime concern but a core part of application architecture, deployment, and governance.This overview summarizes the primary configuration models available in AEMaaCS and their intended use cases. For a deeper explanation, architectural guidance, and practical examples, see:https://medium.com/@konstantyn.diachenko/making-sense-of-configuration-in-aem-as-a-cloud-service-7f2fc567e58dOSGi ConfigurationOSGi configurations define technical and behavioral aspects of code execution, such as: Service wiring Feature flags External integrations System thresholds and limits In AEMaaCS, OSGi configurations are: Immutable at runtime Deployed through CI/CD Parameterized using environment variables where needed Use OSGi configuration when values are developer-owned and affect application behavior.Context-aware configurationContext-A

As part of our 6.5 LTS upgrade, we are looking to do some clean-up and re-locate images under /etc/designs/defaultThis indicates they should go under /apps/settings/wcm/designs/default (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/implementing/deploying/restructuring/all-repository-restructuring-in-aem-6-5#default-designs)However, this indicates they should go under /apps/XXX/clientlibs/clientlib-site/resources/images (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65-lts/content/implementing/developing/introduction/clientlibs#locating-a-client-library-folder-and-using-the-proxy-client-libraries-servlet)What is the correct location?  I should note, we have 5 sites on our system, each with their own /apps directory (/apps/site1, /apps/site2, etc).  The images I am looking to re-locate are used on all 5 sites so not sure where I should put them.

 Index Traversal in AEM: A Common Source of Performance Issues by @daniel-strmecki IntroductionIndex traversal is one of the most common and most misunderstood causes of performance issues in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). It rarely appears during local development or early project phases, but tends to surface once a system goes live, content volumes grow, and real user traffic starts hitting authoring and delivery workflows. What makes index traversal particularly dangerous is how easy it is to introduce. A single custom JCR query, a reporting feature, or an authoring UI enhancement can quietly trigger queries that scan tens or even hundreds of thousands of nodes. At first, the impact may be barely noticeable. However, over time, content grows, and queries accumulate, increasing CPU usage, slowing down AEM Author, and in the worst cases, destabilizing entire environments.Because traversal warnings are logged rather than surfaced as functional errors, they are often ignored or misunde

Hi,I am using AEM cloud and we have Guides, when we select an asset (dita), we are able to see a Open in Framemaker button which when clicked opens the asset in FM. Do we have anything as such for Adobe illustrator, if Yes how do we enable it?If No, how to we build one which works just like the Open in Framemaker button??  This is how to enable the Open in Framemaker button:ThanksSandeep

I’m facing an issue with AEM Guides on AEM as a Cloud Service while generating Sites output from a DITAMap that references Markdown topics using this documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-guides/using/knowledge-base/kb-articles/authoring/webeditor/markdown-in-dita-and-aem-guidesWhat I’m seeing: The DITAMap → Site generation runs Site pages do get created Page properties (sourcePath, UUIDs, map references, etc.) are all set correctly along with the hierarchy of nodes. However, the content is missing - the “injected-container” on the page is empty This preset works for normal dita topics. Error in logs:Markdown resource cannot be read as an XML Document org.xml.sax.SAXException This happens during the NodeJS-based publishing workflow, specifically while Guides is extracting dependencies / DTD rules. From the stack trace, it looks like the Markdown file is being attempted to be read as an XML document.Pages are created but the Markdown conten

I'm creating an AEM Adaptive Core Components Form and want to trigger Adobe Analytics when user clicks on the submit button and the form gets submitted successfully. Currently, I'm trying to listen to events such as "submitSuccess", "afSubmitSuccess" "afFormSubmitSuccess". But these are not working. Can someone help me out here? I'm on AEMaaCS.

I am trying to migrate existing unstructured FrameMaker documents (.fm and .book) to DITA following the official documentation here: Migrate unstructured FrameMaker documentsHowever, I am unable to proceed because the Map to DITA (or Convert to DITA) button is missing from the Assets toolbar when I select my .fm file. When I open the file, I only see options to generate PDF, HTML5, and EPUB (as shown in the attached screenshot), but no option for DITA migration.Steps to Reproduce: Upload an unstructured FrameMaker file (.fm) to an AEM Assets folder. Select the file. Look at the top toolbar and the Output Presets panel. Actual Result: The Map to DITA button is not visible. Only standard Asset options and Generate (PDF/HTML5/EPUB) are visible. Expected Result: The Map to DITA button should appear to initiate the migration workflow using the .sts file.

Hi, I am planning to leverage Adobe scene7 video player for our application and want to analyze the downsides ahead of implementation.Parameters to analyze:1. Accessibility of the player (When we performed proof of concept 1.5 yrs. back, player was not fully accessible)2. Ease of customization with backward compatibility. 3. Performance on low bandwidth networks. Thanks,Vishal

We currently have users uploading their assets to the linked AEM folder in Workfront, which then syncs to AEM/Content Hub. If an error is identified on an asset, it must be manually deleted in AEM and then again in Workfront.Is there a report available that can identify whether users have deleted an asset from the linked AEM folder? Additionally, do teams typically have a governance process in place for when this occurs?

How do I rebrand and configure the default WKND search page?

For our dynamic xfa pdf forms that are created in AEM (LiveCycle), we have some fields where users need to be able to add formatting like bold, bullets, indenting, etc. Do you have any suggestions for doing this?

 Stop Guessing: Visualize AEMaaCS Editor Activity with Splunk by @daniel-strmecki IntroductionWhen we talk about performance optimization in AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), we usually focus on Dispatcher caching, CDN configuration, frontend performance, query indexing or backend refactoring. What often gets overlooked is the actual editor activity on the Author environment. Knowing how, when, and how intensely editors use AEM Author is critical operational information. Heavy editorial activity can significantly impact Author performance without proper optimizations in place, especially during peak hours. Conversely, periods of low editor activity present ideal windows for running content cleanup jobs, bulk imports, reindexing, or maintenance tasks that would otherwise degrade the editor experience.In this post, we’ll walk through how to build a Splunk dashboard to gain clear visibility into editor behavior on AEMaaCS Author. The goal of the dashboard is simple: to understand editor u

Hi everyone,I’m working on a storefront project using Adobe Edge Delivery Services (EDS) and wanted to clarify the expected behavior around Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and SEO.In particular, I'm reviewing how dynamic content (e.g., product names, links, headers fetched via GraphQL or similar APIs) is treated in the SSR output. Scenario:Some pages (like PLP and PDP) display content that is rendered client-side, and when inspecting the HTML source (view-source), this content does not appear to be present in the initial SSR response from the edge. Questions: What is the recommended way to ensure that critical content (titles, product names, links) is included in the SSR output for SEO purposes? Can this be addressed using enhancements in helix-markup.yaml, scripts.js, or other EDS configurations? Are there known strategies for SSR fallback or crawler-specific behavior in EDS to ensure search engines receive a fully rendered version of the page? My main goal i
