Adobe Experience Manager Headless

Hi,My name is Vimal, and I am currently working as a MEAN Stack Developer. I’m very enthusiastic about transitioning into Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) development, as I find its powerful capabilities in content management and digital experience delivery truly inspiring.I'm writing to kindly seek your guidance on how I can get started with AEM.While I'm passionate and eager to learn, I’m facing a few challenges:In my region, very few organizations have access to Adobe Experience Platform, which makes hands-on experience difficult to obtain.I’m unsure how to access the necessary base files, such as AEM author/publish JARs for local setup and development.I would be grateful if you could let me know:If Adobe provides student programs, developer sandboxes, or trial licenses specifically for learning or self-paced development.Where can I download AEM JAR files for local use?How to set up a basic AEM environment for learning purposes.Are there any official documentation or training res

Hi community,We are implementing Sling Dynamic Include (SDI) to include the header and footer components in AEM as a Cloud Service. The necessary configurations have been set up on the dispatcher, but the components are not rendering as expected.We are encountering the following error:🔹 [an error occurred while processing this directive]Before further troubleshooting, we would like to confirm:Is SDI fully supported in AEM as a Cloud Service?Does the AEM Cloud Service Dispatcher include the mod_include.so module by default?Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

If anyone is aware of any freelance opportunities or platforms where AEM freelance work is frequently posted, I'd really appreciate your guidance or referrals. I have a hand experience in AEM development both FE and BE.  Let me know if anything available    

Hi everyone, In the Universal Editor, we use a JSON-based component definition where "component": "richtext" is utilized to handle rich text content.In AEM Sites, we have the ability to customize the Rich Text Editor (RTE) by adding custom plugins or configurations to meet specific requirements—such as adding proper spacing between text blocks or applying specific formatting rules.My question is:Does Edge Delivery Services (EDS) support any method to customize the richtext component in a similar way?Specifically, I'm looking to implement custom spacing behavior in authored rich text content.Is there an API, plugin mechanism, or any configuration option to extend or modify the behavior of the richtextcomponent within EDS?Any documentation reference or practical example would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!

I have reviewed the following query and noticed that I have a similar use case, but it require only the Universal Editor feature. So, whenever the client opens a page created using an editable template in AEM, it will automatically open in the Universal Editor, allowing them to make any modifications.However, my questions are different:1. Will the Universal Editor feature be available for AEM Site Template pages in the future? As far as I know, it’s currently only available for Editable Dynamic Sites (EDS). Is that correct?2. If I want to move my AEM site to the Universal Editor, do I need to enable instrumentation for all core components as well as custom components?3. Is instrumentation also required for Experience Fragments?4. How will template policies and the style system be handled in this case?5. What about Page Properties?I referred to the documentation and successfully edited a text component using the Universal EditorHowever, I will need to enable this for each component indi

Hi Community,We are currently in the process of migrating our AMS-based application to AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS). For content migration, we are using the Content Transfer Tool (CTT) to bring content from the AMS production environment to our AEMaaCS environments (Dev, Stage, and eventually Prod).However, during each migration (Prod to Dev, and Prod to Stage), we are encountering several challenges, such as:Missing content after the migrationAuthoring issues post-migrationWe’re concerned that similar issues might affect the production environment as well, and we’re looking for ways to minimize risk and ensure smooth content transfer.One workaround we’re considering is:Creating packages in Stage (which has already been validated)Deploying those validated packages directly to ProductionWe’d like to understand:Is this a recommended practice?Are there any better tools or approaches for cloud-to-cloud content transfer that are more reliable and production-safe?Any suggestions or best

I have a graphql query which takes IDFilter! as parameter and this works fine in the graphql editor and when i try to request from postman i am getting "Variable 'paths' has an invalid value: Variable 'paths' has coerced Null value for NonNull type 'IDFilter!'"exception. My Graphql Queryquery ($expression:IDFilter!) {internetList(filter: {_path: $expression}) {items {_path}}}Graphql Variables{   "expression":{      "_logOp":"OR",      "_expressions":[         {             "_operator": "EQUALS",            "value":"/content/dam/sample/content-fragments/internet/internet1"         },         {            "_operator": "EQUALS",            "value":"/content/dam/sample/content-fragments/internet/internet2"         

At Present, We use content fragments in AEM and we have multiple team consume CF using assets API.I noticed that in my environment, the api request to author instance  requires authentication whereas request exposed by the publish instance are served without authentication. I need to expose the api through the dispatcher to internet but I would like to be authentication protected. What does adobe recommended solution for this implementation? 

Hi Community,I'm encountering an issue while deploying to AEM as a Cloud Service. The deployment fails at the "Update services" step, and the error message states:"The deployment failed due to a system issue. Contact Adobe Support if the issue recurs."Here’s what I’ve observed so far:Update Indexes → FinishedBuild Transform → FinishedUpdate services → FailedInstall mutable content → RunningHas anyone else faced this issue? What are some potential troubleshooting steps I can try before reaching out to Adobe Support? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!Thanks!

We are migrating our AEM instance from AEM 6.5 to AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS). In our current implementation, we use a JCR Event Listener that listens to all component changes. Whenever inheritance is canceled for a component, the listener adds the property:cq:isCancelledForChildren = trueto the parent node.Problem:During the migration assessment using BPA (Best Practices Analyzer), we found that JCR Event Listeners are flagged as an issue because they are not recommended in AEMaaCS due to performance concerns.Question:What is the best alternative approach in AEMaaCS to achieve the same functionality? Some potential options I’m considering:ResourceChangeListener – Can it effectively replace the JCR Event Listener for this use case ,but it is also getting flagged in bpa report?Workflow Launcher – Would this be a viable alternative to automatically add cq:isCancelledForChildren = true when inheritance is canceled?sling jobs – Could a scheduled job periodically check and up

Hi,I want to use GraphQL for searching and building a listing page with pagination. As I explored, I understand that GraphQL supports offset, limit, sorting etc. but I couldn't find a way to get the total number of results to achieve pagination with page number.It would be really helpful if anyone can suggest how can we achieve it using GraphQL. Thanks in advance.

Does AEM allow replacement of an asset (image or pdf) whilst retaining metadata, title etc?I have read that this should be possible via a 'replace' button when the asset is selected but I don't see this option.

Hello, I would like to request data via GraphQL query based on a Tag multifield like this:The parameters to return this data should be for example:["wknd-shared:season/summer"]["wknd-shared:season/summer", "wknd-shared:season/spring"]I tried this query:query ($adventureTags: [String]) { adventureList( filter: { adventureTags: {_logOp: OR, _expressions: [{values: $adventureTags, _operator: EQUALS}]} }) { items { _path adventureTags } } }It's only returning data if I add all parameters like this["wknd-shared:season/summer", "wknd-shared:season/spring"]but does not return anything for this["wknd-shared:season/summer"]Additionally I've tried to request the data with the persisted queries and the default cloud sdk dispatcher config like this:http://localhost:8080/graphql/execute.json/wknd-shared/adventures-all%3BadventureTags%3D%5B%22wknd-shared%3Aseason%2Fsummer%22%2C%22wknd-shared%3Aseason%2Fspring%22%5D%3BBut that does not return any data.

Hello!We are struggling with a GraphQL query on our AEMaaCS publish instance. For showing certain news on our Android and iOS mobile apps, we'd like to query a list of article content fragments... of a specific path after specific date sorted by date having a particular cq:tags tag set returning the _publishURL of the page that references the content fragment Current state: Date works. Path works. Sorting by date will be supported with the March 2023 release. Checking for tags did work in AEM 6.5 but now it seems it does not work anymore? Do we miss something? The _references attribute only returns "RTE inline references" and not the page(s) that reference the content fragment. Is there a way to accomplish that? Our current query: query { articleList( # does not work # sort: "articleDate DESC", filter: { _path: { _expressions: [ { # Path e.g. /content/dam/gpa/articles value: "/content/dam/oegb/articles" _operator

I need to get the events while the property 'jcr:lastModified' is either added or modified. Also I only need to watch certain paths. I tried to add properties like this. I also checked the event console http://localhost:4502/system/console/events where I couldn't find my class. The debugger is also not reaching to the handleEvent method.
