AEM Touch UI (Granite UI) Tabs: Example Code by Brianka Singli Abstract Almost all components require developers to put together the Touch UI experience with tabs as the base of their components. It’s a simple XML code configuration, however, sometimes finding the reference isn’t that easy to find online. This article is just a simple reference article where I share the configuration as XML, so it can be copied and pasted + ready to go at a rapid pace. Granite UI (Touch UI) Rendered as This is a screenshot of how a very basic Touch UI would look like for author’s when the author double clicks on the component to make change’s to it.

AEM: Connect AEM to an External database (Oracle example) by Theo Pendle Abstract It can happen when implementing AEM that you suddenly realize that the JCR database is not the best solution to store certain types of data. For example, the JCR-SQL2 dialect is missing a lot of features that you’d expect from an typical database, so queries can become cumbersome. These limitations can be a real bummer if you’re trying to store thousands of products, blog posts or whatnot. For that reason, you may want to store certain data in an external database such as Oracle, MySQL, Neo4J, etc. In enterprise environments, Oracle is often favored for RDBMS needs due its advanced features and support. With that in mind, I’ve decided to use Oracle as the basis for this tutorial, but the principles apply to any other external database. There are essentially 3 components required to integrate AEM with an external database: A JDBC driver bundle, which lets Java communicate with the database A data sour

Background: A server call, also known as a "hit" or an "image request", is an instance in which data is sent to Adobe servers to process. In this case, we are going to focus on two types of server calls: Primary Server Call: Requests received directly from website visitor browsers or the Data Insertion API. Includes Primary Hits (Page Views), Primary Custom Events, Primary Download Events, and Primary Exit Events. Secondary Server Call: Copies of primary server calls created by multi-suite tags or copied/moved by a VISTA rule. If a secondary server call has been moved (not copied) to a different report suite by a VISTA rule, the accumulated secondary calls are deducted from the primary server calls. Note: Adobe Analytics also tracks Mobile Primary Server Calls and Mobile Secondary Server Calls.   Solution: Identify if your organization is using Secondary Server Calls using Adobe Analytics Server Call Usage. Adobe Analytics Server Call Usage addresses your requests for transpare

Adobe Target Sample Size Calculator ensures that your activity has sufficient visitors to achieve your goals. When running a manual A/B Test activity, as opposed to Auto-Allocate, the Target Sample Size Calculator helps to determine the sample size required for a successful test. As a manual A/B test is a fixed horizon test, the Adobe Target Sample Size Calculator provides a rough estimate of the sample size needed. How to Use: Navigate to the Adobe Target Sample Size Calculator. Set confidence level to 95%. Set statistical power to 80%. Set the appropriate number of offers, including control. After identifying pages with high traffic and conversion rates, take the Unique Visitors value for the page and divide this value by the number of days in your date range (i.e., If the date range encompasses the last full 30 days, divide the number of Unique Visitors by 30). You will enter the resulting value under “Total Number of Daily Visitors.” To identify the baseline conversion rate v

In Adobe Analysis Workspace, is it possible to wrap the text in a fallout visualisation? I have edited the text to make the description shorter but in some instances my fallout needs to contain the full page name which tapers off due to the space available. 

With the latest version 2.1.0, the trackEvent doesn't seem to be working. I just want to track clicks on a link.I am wondering if I have something set up incorrectly in my 'activity', although the documentation never explains how to actually set the things up in the 'activity' itself.From the documentation: https://docs.adobe.com/help/en/target/using/implement-target/client-side/functions-overview/cmp-at_js-functions.html#reference_7E0F19368F9C4BC38F1E5DC5E717E487 I am using almost this exact code snippet:<script>$('a').click(function(event){  adobe.target.trackEvent({'mbox':'homePageHero'})});</script>In fact here is my code for my page (using at.js 2.1.0 version.)<!doctype html><html lang="en-US"><head></head><body>    <a id="container1" href="https://forums.adobe.com/">Default content 1</a> test link 1    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></s

I've had an issue come up several times in the past couple days, so I thought I would blog it out for use in the future. So, you have Salesforce with some records that are not synced to Marketo.  Over on the Marketo side, one of those SFDC-record people fills out a Marketo form and enters the Marketo database.  Now you have two records for the same person, and they aren't synced.  Marketo will try to push the not-actually-new record to Salesforce, but if you have duplicate suppression in Salesforce, SFDC will reject it.  So what do you do?   Because I'm inclined to silliness, I'm going to personify these records as Mr. Salesforce and Ms. Marketo, star-crossed lovers who we need to unite.  How do we bring them together?  Since Salesforce is clearly not having this duplicate situation, we have to get both members of the couple into Marketo, who is much less fussy about such things.  To do this, we need to make Mr. Salesforce's record visible to the

5 things: Creating a custom component [ cq:design_dialog] by Anmol Bhardwaj Abstract So, we have already created a dialog for the component, and we have also discussed the differences between a normal dialog and a design dialog. Now, let’s create a design dialog as well for the component, and see the noticeable differences. How to create/develop a design dialog? The syntax remains 99.9% the same with the exception of the root node, which would now be “cq:design_dialog” instead of a “cq:dialog”. Also, the steps are exactly the same as #24. How to author a design dialog? To author a design dialog of a component, you need to move from a component level to a page or template level, as that is what it’s for essentially. So, naturally, it is present when we edit a template or add the policy for a component. Let’s go through that. Create a design dialog. For the sake of comparison, I will use the same exact .xml code or node structure that I used in the cq:dialog. You already have the cod

AEM Architect Certification Series: Single Page Application (SPA) by Monendra Singh Abstract Introduction: Sites built using common SPA frameworks such as React and Angular load their content via dynamic JSON and do not provide the HTML structure that is necessary for the AEM Page Editor to be able to place edit controls. To enable the editing of SPAs within AEM, a mapping between the JSON output of the SPA and the content model in the AEM repository is needed to save changes to the content. Basic SPA Editor Workflow Keeping in mind the key elements of the SPA Editor, the high-level workflow of editing a SPA within AEM appears to the author as follows. Please refer this article for more details. SPA Editor loads. SPA is loaded in a separate frame. SPA requests JSON content and renders components client-side. SPA Editor detects rendered components and generates overlays. Author clicks overlay, displaying the component’s edit toolbar. SPA Editor persists edits with a POST request to

Exporting AEM Experience Fragment/Page Content for A/B Testing and External Systems without HTML Tags by Kiran Sg Abstract Problem Statement: How to export experience fragment or page content from author to: Adobe Target or any other application similar to Target without HTML Head/Body tags just component content for A/B Testing or targeting etc. Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Adobe Campaign system without HTML Head/Body tags Non-AEM sister sites are to be used as an iframe content. Introduction: If you are using an A/B Testing tool or when you are using SFMC for an email campaigning system in your project and you want to export Experience fragment or Page content to the external system using HTTP Post request. Adding the entire HTML content (which includes the head, body etc.) on the existing page would negatively impact the accessibility score and page performance. Usually with the above use case people follow exporting HTML content from AEM involves sending an HTTP request to the

We have created custom scheduled activation workflow but we are getting com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.job.TimeoutHandler WorkItem does not exist When I schedule publish later or unpublish later alone then it works fine but when do schedule publish and schedule  unpublish simultaneously (schedule publish first and unscheduled publish later). I mean in workflow instances I can see  both workflows but after executing schedule publish what happens is unscheduled workflow is getting aborted with error com.adobe.granite.workflow.core.job.TimeoutHandler WorkItem does not exist  

We are looking at the ScriptReference component documentation https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/administering/personalization/segmentation.html?lang=en#defining-a-script-to-reference In here it provides an example script and states that if properly configured, then when creating an audience and using the ScriptReference component, the dropdown should automatically contain the registered scripts. In a AEM 6.5 out of the box install, one can find the the sample script setup and configured under http://localhost:4502/crx/de/index.jsp#/libs/cq/contexthub/code/kernel/segment-engine/comparison-scripts However, when adding the ScriptReference component to the page for defining the segment, the dropdown is empty. The documentation doesn't indicate anything other than specifying the correct clientlib name which is setup with the out of the box example. Is there a step missing here that we are not seeing ?  Thanks,Nikhil Patel.

Two key differences exist when using Analytics reports for activity results examination in traditional Adobe Analytics versus Customer Journey Analytics. The first key distinction is that traditional AA analyzes Adobe Target data using the A4T Panel, whereas CJA analyzes Target data using the Experimentation Panel. Adobe Analytics for Target (A4T) is a cross-solution integration that allows users to create activities based on Analytics conversion metrics and audience segments. The Experimentation Panel enables analysts to compare user experiences, marketing, or messaging variations to identify the best option for driving a specific outcome. Using the Experimentation Panel, analysts can evaluate the lift and confidence of any A/B experiment from any experimentation platform - online, offline, from Adobe Solutions, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and even BYO (bring-your-own) data. However, leveraging the A4T integration to use Analytics reports for results examination poses one significant lim

How you present your data matters. As a data analyst, it is important to determine which tools are most appropriate for the story you are trying to tell your audience. Incorporating data visualizations, graphs, infographics, charts, and tables can help to convey and drive a story home. However, the visualizations you use, or don’t use, can make all the difference when it comes to decision-making outcomes. Visuals catch attention and are processed 60x faster than text. As a result, it is important that the visualization is direct, meaningful, and intuitive. Meaning, your audience can effectively and efficiently interpret the visualization and understand its value.   How to Build: Using Lab Prototypes in Adobe Analytics, you can leverage the Visualization Recommender. This prototype recommends visualizations that pair well with your data. All you must do is select the desired metrics and dimensions (up to 10 total). Go to Adobe Analytics > Labs > Visualization Recommender Sel

How to expose Restful Services through JAX-RS(Jersey) in AEM by TechForum Abstract JAX-RS is a specification that provides portable API’s for developing, exposing and accessing web applications designed and implemented in compliance with principals of REST architectural style. JAX-RS has annotations to bind specific URI patterns and HTTP methods to individual methods of your Java code. AEM is driven based on REST principals but there is no direct support for creating Restful services. There are multiple implementations for JAX-RS specifications, this tutorial explains exposing REST based services in AEM through Jersey. Install JAX-RS Jersey modules As a first step, install the JAX-RS Jersey connector to AEM server The connector modules can be downloaded from the following URL — https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:com.eclipsesource.jaxrs, the required modules are jersey-all, publisher and provider-gson Read Full Blog How to expose Restful Services through JAX-RS(Jersey) in AEM Q&amp
