Authors: Sandeep Nawathe and Jody Arthur In Part 1 of this series, we described all the digital components enterprises need to develop a 360-degree view of their customers and the capabilities and limitations inherent in the technologies available to help them do that. Here in Part 2, we + a new approach — one that unifies disparate data sources and system architectures to develop a Unified Profile that is actionable in real-time. With the proliferation of information technology systems, an enterprise’s customer information is often fragmented across disparate sources hampering its ability to fully leverage the power it holds. Delivering the real-time personalized experiences that today’s consumers demand starts with building a holistic understanding of the customer, a Unified Profile. In Part 1 of this series, we described the digital components needed to develop a unified, centrally accessible customer profile that allows an enterprise to target people with personalized cross-channe

Authors: Ye Xu and Douglas Paton In this post, we, Adobe Experience Platform, round up the key takeaways from AWS re:Invent 2019. We look at the big things coming up for Computing, AI and Machine Learning, Database and Analytics, Security, IoT. AWS re:Invent is Amazon Web Services (AWS) annual conference for all things cloud computing. The 8th year of the event, held in November of 2019, was the biggest yet, attracting 60,000 people, and featured the launch of 75 new services for AWS. The new services were launched in over 13 different categories, ranging from Analytics to developer tools, and has some exciting implications for Adobe Experience Platform. Looking at everything from the show would be impossible, but we’ve got a roundup of some of the more applicable new services that were launched. Let’s dive in and take a look. Computing Amazon has made enhancements to Amazon EMR, their big data processing and analysis platform that allows you to run and scale Hadoop, Apache Spark, and

Authors: Amy Durocher, Andrew Kirkpatrick, and Jenny Medeiros This post describes our journey building accessibility into Adobe Experience Platform and our approach to achieving the ambitious goal of becoming accessibility compliant by the end of 2020. The accessible design has rightfully become the focus of leading organizations worldwide. With almost 20% of the global population living with some form of disability, it should no longer be an afterthought to offer different ways for people with sensory, physical, or cognitive impairments to access online products. At Adobe, we firmly support and encourage building inclusive user experiences that are accessible to customers of diverse abilities. To further our commitment, we are purposefully designing new Adobe products with human differences in mind, and revisiting past ones to bring them up to standard. In this post, we share the highlights of our ongoing accessibility journey as we tirelessly work to make Adobe Experience Platform

Authors: Sandeep Nawathe and Jody Arthur This is the first post in a two-part series that explores the challenges inherent in developing a 360-degree view of the customer. In this post, we describe the digital components a business needs to develop a holistic understanding of the customer and the difficulties associated with pulling them all together in the current solution landscape. In Part 2, we will present a new approach to unifying disparate data sources and system architectures to develop a Unified Profile that is actionable in real-time. To be successful, enterprises have always strived to provide the best customer experience. With the rise of digital technology, proactively understanding a customer’s interests has been a key approach for businesses seeking to deliver personalized experiences that engage and delight their customers. And, customers expect this today. They have come to expect relevant material across all their interactions with a brand that optimizes their exper

Authors: @danny-miller , Shruti Jagtap, Douglas Paton In this blog, we look at how modeled a one to many relationships in XDM for Adobe Experience Platform. We discuss the options we had for modeling and the surprises that came up along the way. This blog details a single implementation or customization on Adobe Experience Platform. Not all aspects are guaranteed as general availability. If you need professional guidance on how to proceed, then please reach out to Adobe Consulting Services on this topic. One-to-many (1:M) relationships are everywhere these days. We sign up for things using different names, email addresses, and user names depending on the product or service we’re using. We create a whole host of mini-profiles that all point back to us. This creates a situation where multiple profiles online can all be attributed to a single person. The challenge is that most 1:M profiles end up looking very similar to Figure 1. Not surprisingly, something like that can be fit int

Warning: this blog post will seem out-of-nowhere until you read the next one, which is a Marketo-focused use for the code supplied below. But this had to come out first in preparation.   Something’s notable about a <style> element with no attributes (no id, no title, no class or custom data-). While the styles inside will work perfectly, there’s no standard way to distinguish the source, purpose, or implied scope of such an element.   Such elements are ridiculously common, of course! You surely have at least one non-attribute-ed <style> in the head of your HTML templates, which you term “local styles.” And 3rd-party libraries can inject many more.   But what if you want to reference a specific one of those stylesheets from JS, like the <style> that brands your video player? Well, you’re basically out of luck unless you get to guessin’.   See, from a DOM standpoint, the

Hi, RTE in AEM 6.4 is throwing an error when I make the component configurable by adding a checkbox for users in the dialog for authors to use the RTE in any custom component. However, after I select the checkbox and add content to it and click on 'ok' checkmark, it throws an error initially but if I refresh the page, the component is throwing content in RTE correctly. If I again update the content in the same page and click on 'ok' checkmark, it's throwing the error again until I refresh the page.Error message - Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'data')  - http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/editors/clientlibs/core.894e3547679632b5f44a9833bcb0529b.jsThe code for adding RTE in the component looks like this: <div data-category="${properties.tiletype}" data-sly-test="${properties.includedes}" data-sly-resource="${'something' @ resourceType='/apps/foldername/components/content/genericrichtext'}"></div&g

Last week we published the JCR Query cheat sheet as part of the official AEM documentation: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/deploying/practices/best-practices-for-queries-and-indexing.html?lang=en#jcrquerycheatsheet it is appplicable for AEM 6.5 and AEM as a Cloud Service, but the majority of it should be good also for earlier versions down to 6.0. For different type of queries it contains samples which are are the most performant to achieve the expected results, plus the requirements towards the index backing these queries. It contains these queries so you can copy&paste them, has a number of helpful links, and its printable so you can pin it to your wall. And it's the a good learning source for the 3 supported query languages QueryBuilder, XPath and SQL-2. Have fun!Jörg

In my screenshot, all folders and fragments should inherit the permission for the staff folder.-----The permission were setup by going to author.myhost.com/useradmin - the child folder got the permissions from the parent (/content/experience-fragments/staff/digital-services)- the grandchild folder did not inherit the permissions set in the parent (specifically modify permission)- fragment inside the grandchild folder does not have modify

Fast Facts — AEM Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) by Sanjay Kushawaha Abstract The Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) which earlier known as Cloud Readiness Analyzer is used to assess the AEM project code implementation by indicating areas that are not following the best practice guidelines of AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS). By using the report generated by BPA you can identify the potential code refactoring areas that need to be fixed before deploying it to AEMaaCS. Let’s understand the flow by referring below diagram. Important considerations for BPA It is supported on AEM instance 6.1 or above and can be run by admin or user having administrator rights. It can be downloaded from Adobe Software Distribution Portal and install on AEM Author using Package Manager. Once installed it can be accessed by following the path Tools → Operations → Best Practices Analyzer.

DM Classic - S7 - Show default image when a specific Image or Vignette object not found by Sreekanth Choudry Nalabotu Abstract Missing Product Image In Dynamic Media Classic (S7), if the image (specified in URL with others modifiers) is NOT found, you can serve a default image by adding parameter &defaultImage. This helps when there are new images for a product not published yet or missing for some reason, so when users clicks the link or the specific swatch, a default image for the product is shown (instead of a broken or generic 404 image...) Image not found URL eg: http://sample.scene7.com/is/image/S7trainRender/image_does_not_exist With &defaultImage URL parameter: http://sample.scene7.com/is/image/S7trainRender/image_does_not_exist?defaultImage=ninewest_shoe Unavailable Vignette Object While serving an Image Render or Vignette (composed of objects) if the Object name is NOT found, there is no default image parameter here and error Object not found is shown...

Hi, I am facing an issue when having a selectbox with a custom datasource in a multifield.When the dialog with this multifield is open the first time (no data for the multifield are present in the repo) then the dialog opens. The editor is able to select items in the selectboxes, add new selectboxes inside the multifield and so on. But when the dialog gets closed and the data are saved in the repo and the editor tries to open this dialog again, a javascript error occors and the dialog does not open anymore.The interesting thing is, when I have the same dialog configuration but the selectbox has static items instead of a custom dataset then everything works fine. Not working dialog configuration:<myCustomMultifield jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield" composite="{Boolean}true" required="{Boolean}true" fieldLabel="My Custom Multifield"> <field jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:reso

There isn't any documentation on this out of the box metric, so thought I'd post here to see if anyone has had experience using it.Basically, we have a custom evar that captures the unique ID of visitors when they login to our mobile app.Days since last visit ("DSLV") against the unqiue id evar however, seems to work only in some instances.Client care advised that we need to set our id evar to 'never expire' (currently set to expire on visit) and that this was the issue.However, further investigation reveals this information to be incorrect.In production (with id evar expires on visit), DSLV against the id evar seems to work in some cases, even if the visitor has not returned since the last visit.In development (with id evar never expires), DSLV against the id evar does not work if the visitor has not returned since the last visit, which seems counterintuitive. It also only works in some cases otherwise.Curious to know if anyone has used this metric with good accuracy against a unique

Show/Hide Page Properties Based on Template in AEM by Bimmisoi Abstract In AEM , editable templates usually share the same page component, which means the same page properties dialog. Below are the steps to show/hide page properties based on the template. 1.

Dareboost is saying we should be gzipping our SVG files (from DAM). Any suggestions how we can do this, e.g. in dispatcher or OSGi files?  Its the cloud AEM version, so somewhat limited.
