Introducing Adobe Experience Manager Assets Essentials to simplify collaboration across teams by Elliot Sedegah Abstract Over the last few years, almost every brand has felt the pressure to accelerate the shift to a digital everywhere world. Customers now expect rich imagery and video at every interaction across the customer journey and every brand must deliver. We must transform from a world of siloed channel marketing, with many more teams working in concert to orchestrate customer experiences at scale. From ideation, creative production, to experience delivery — many more users are involved in the experience making process. However, many organizations still struggle to find a consistent approach to deal with the thousands of images, videos, and rich media used in the experience making process. Marketing teams and content creators are often stuck in their organization’s silos or use apps that do not enable the seamless flow of work and sharing of digital assets. It is not unusual f

Experience Manager Forms as a Cloud Service by Arun Taneja Abstract Today, great disruptions to business, government and everyday life have significantly increased the need for enrollment in digital services to be convenient, fast, and secure. Yet, it is still common for organizations to have hundreds of paper-based forms and processes. At a time when more people are working remotely (either full time or part of the time), the lack of paperless business and government is creating frustrating and time-consuming roadblocks. In our digital age, the expectation is that it should not take weeks to capture and act on data, nor should it be such an error-prone or costly process. Fortunately, organizations can free themselves from inefficient legacy solutions and manual work — and move to a modern platform. What does a modern enrollment process look like? A modern digital enrollment experience goes beyond initial data capture. It includes multiple touchpoints in a user’s relationship with

Adobe FedRAMP solutions accelerate digital document transformation by Simon Longbottom Abstract 2020 was a year of unprecedented change.

XD Plugins Moving to the Marketplace in Creative Cloud Desktop by ari fuchs Abstract Last fall, we announced the release of the new Plugin Marketplace in Creative Cloud Desktop, providing Creative Cloud users with instant access to a full marketplace of Plugins and Integrations, right from the desktop, in the same place they manage their Creative Cloud Applications. Since then, many of you have been asking when XD plugins would be moving to this new surface, and while it took us a little longer than we’d hoped, we’re excited to announce that the migration is underway! Over the next few weeks, users of XD 40 (and above) will start seeing XD plugins appear in the Marketplace tab in Creative Cloud Desktop alongside a robust catalog of plugins for all Creative Cloud applications. For both XD plugin developers and XD users, the move should be a seamless transition. Today, clicking “Discover Plugins” in XD opens in a new XD window— post migration, the Creative Cloud Desktop app window wit

ECID Migration with AEP Web SDK by JB Creusat Abstract The Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (AEP Web SDK) is now available and brings significant performance improvements but also changes in terms of data collection. One of the first questions is whether Visitor identification will be impacted. In this article, we will explain how the migration to the AEP Web SDK works and how to plan. While the different libraries required by Adobe Analytics, Target and Audience Manager are being replaced by a single SDK, the Experience Cloud ID (ECID) remains as the way to identify your visitors. The VisitorAPI.js is no more longer required when you are using the AEP Web SDK. If you are using Adobe Launch, you will simply remove the ECID Extension and check the box for the ECID migration in your AEP Web SDK Extension. One pre-requisite for this simple migration is that your implementation is fully on the ECID. If you are not sure, a first test is to compare Unique Visitors against Visitors with E

Difference between Brand portal, Asset Share commons & Dynamic Media by Aemtutorial Abstract People usually gets confused with various asset management tools from Adobe. Since each product has its relevancy, here we will try to compare those tools. What is the difference between Brand Portal & Asset Share Commons? Functionally, Brand Portal and Asset Share Commons both does similar things, provide assets stored in your AEM Assets to users without allowing them access to items that should be protected. These two tools options are simple in setup, configure so that the implementations are minimal. Brand Portal(This one is Licensed by Adobe) has been described as a secure, cloud enabled service for on-demand asset distribution to internal teams, external partners, agencies, and resellers for marketing purpose. The customizations are very limited in case of Brand Portal. Where in Asset Share Commons is a technical reference implementation(a reference for AEM developers when de

We usually say you can choose any subdomain as your Marketo LP domain, as long as it’s not already used by your company: pages.example.com, lp.example.com, get.example.com, signup.example.com, whatever-sounds-right.example.com.   But in truth there are subdomains you definitely should not choose: promo.example.com, affiliate.example.com, and a few more.   Why? Because these subdomains are on the EasyList General block list — a database used by the popular AdBlock plugin and others of the same ilk. Here’s the relevant entry for promo.example.com on the list:   (It’s a strange-looking rule, because the maintainers of EasyList added exceptions for the Promo web app, who operate the domain promo.com — note that one’s not a subdomain of another domain — as well as Promo’s sister site Slidely and a couple of their customers.)   As a result, any request to promo.example.com from a document on another private domain will fail. The AdBlock debugger is at least clear about

AEM Content Services: Using Sling and Node APIs to Provide Asset collections - Part 1 by Perficient Blogs Abstract AEM is a proven framework for application delivery. Intuitive authoring features and HTL (formerly Sightly) driven content views make it easy to put together pages served from an AEM environment. The standard component strategy is great, but AEM offers more flexibility in how you use authored content. AEM Content Services allows authored content to be consumed via a headless CMS approach. Content fragments offer discrete pieces of text and/or markup, and the Assets API provides references to your assets (including content fragments), all consumable by external apps as JSON. In a mature DAM, you’ll find you have some images and fragments that are appropriate for external exposure and some that are not. AEM provides Asset Collections to expose specific assets and organize those assets in a simplified way. You can add assets or fragments to a collection from anywhere in

AEM Cloud Service - Assets Processing Profile and Post Processing workflow to generate JPEG Assets by Sreekanth Choudry Nalabotu Abstract Goal Create Low res JPEG images from High quality Master assets (eg. psd, tif) uploaded to AEM, so the jpeg images can be browsed using AEM Desktop app and placed in 3rd party apps like Figma. Solution 1) Create a Process Step apps.experienceaem.assets.core.workfows.ConvertRenditionToAssetProcess used in a Post Processing workflow for creating the JPEG asset from rendition added by a Processing Profile. It's worth noting that streaming of binaries in AEM cloud services is not considered a best practice, the rendition.getBinary() call in below code does not stream binary but gets a pointer to the binary in blob store. Also when processing the created asset set runPostProcess to false so the post processing workflow does not run on generated assets... package apps.experienceaem.assets.core.workfows; import com.adobe.granite.asset.api.AssetRelation;

How to Switch Between AEM Environments and Modes by exadel.com Abstract Adding projects with their corresponding environments and modes has never been easier. Our Exadel Environment Switcher for AEM plug-in offers multiple options for developers. You can create an unlimited number of projects, easily switch back and forth between your modes and environments, create several sub-environments, and share plug-in configurations between team members through the Import and Export operations. To better understand how our plug-in operates, Exadel has just released a video explaining how to use our Environment Switcher Google Chrome extension. Using a sample AEM project, the tutorial demonstrates alternating between environments and modes with and without the plug-in. Without it, every switch requires copying, pasting, and editing the URL, but with the Snap Environment Switcher, also known as Exadel Environment Switcher for AEM, all it takes is a couple of clicks. The video is comprehensive, s

Hi, I am working on a project that was created recently using the AEM 6.5 archetype base project for best practices LINK and we have run into a few scenarios where we have added a dependency, then we code/build/deploy and the bundle will not start because it cannot import a needed package. I guess it is expecting to find the package exported from some other OSGi bundle.We solve this by adding the needed packages to the bnd-maven-plugin config under "-conditionalpackage" LINKUnfortunately, sometimes this leads us down a "rabbit hole" where we have to add a lot of packages, and end up pulling in tons of dependencies just so we can use like one class.Are we doing this the correct/ideal way?Is this maintainable? What if we keep doing this for years and end up with 50 packages and a 500mb+ bundle sizeThanks.
