Bulk Asset Reprocessing in AEM as a Cloud Service Assets by Daniel Klco Abstract AEM as a Cloud Service Assets (AEMCS Assets) introduces a new method for processing assets, Asset Compute. With Asset Compute, newly uploaded assets are processed in the Adobe Runtime I/O microservice framework. The advantage to this new architecture, is that this offloads the CPU and memory-heavy work of rendering renditions and reading metadata from binaries to a scalable, cloud framework vs being limited by (and even overwhelming) the server running AEM. Along with this new architecture, a new feature in AEM Cloud Service Assets is that you can request reprocessing of assets. Reprocessing will send the assets through the entire processing flow, regenerating all renditions and overriding the metadata with newly extracted metadata from the asset. To reprocess assets, select an asset (or a folder) and click the reprocess button: Select Assets for Reprocessing Then configure how you want the assets to b

Content Authoring Assistance Using Generative AI in AEM by Ryan McCullough Abstract The Era of Generative AI is Upon Us “The Age of AI has Begun” – states Bill Gates regarding the recent surge of AI tools and AI capability. If you have not read this article, it’s an extremely informative read and really we can’t disagree. We’ve already been seeing real innovation in generative AI, especially in specific formats like copy, conversation, and image generation. With all of these capabilities, it’s not hard to see a future with an AI assistant to help support your role, regardless of the industry. In the Adobe Summit 2023 keynote session, Adobe officially announced they are already integrating generative AI tools within Adobe products. The session highlighted a new AI Generative tool named Adobe Firefly (Beta) and are expected to make further announcements on additional products, integrations and improvements in the coming days. We at Perficient look for opportunities to improve our cust

Introduction As WebSDK gains momentum, there tends to be questions from clients about leveraging previous features in the previous Target library at.js. One of those features was at.js Custom Events. This feature could come in handy as it allowed you to hook into a mbox to notify you when at.js is loading, starts, succeeds, and fails. A common use case was to use these custom events to kick off some sort of notification process to let a client know that their test was running correctly or there was an error that needed to be looked into further.Comparing the TwoThe good news is that the product team has developed an equivalent feature for WebSDK, these are called monitoring hooks. Naturally the first question that comes to mind is what are the equivalent monitoring hooks compared to the at.js custom events?Here is a table I created to map out the equivalent monitoring hook based on the previous custom event,Sample Implementation Let’s take a look at a sample implementation I’

Are you planning to attend the lab "Transform Site Data into Strategic Success & Action with Workfront [L316]" at Adobe Summit this year? Session leaders @karthiksuripedd and @surc will be monitoring this thread for any post-lab questions you may have.   While the session is no longer available, you can view the lab resources below.   Session Details   Insights generated from Adobe Analytics are often communicated via email to report users like the marketing team. However, the lack of clear next steps, delays in reaching the right people, and the analytics data existing outside of marketing work streams means that timely action on crucial insights is hindered. All this results in missed opportunities and delayed, or lost, market impact. Learn an end-to-end integration between Adobe Workfront and Adobe Analytics in which captured insights result in the right work priorities assigned to the right teams for immediate action.   In this lab: Create

I wanted to share a new small tool I developed for Adobe Analytics users around an efficient way to extract the Pagename variables. Its great in instances where a datalayer is used and I hope will save people some time and effort in their day to day work! It also can extract other datalayer variables so I hope you find it useful! This is ideally suited when tasked at finding info on multiple URLs all at once!Link to tool:https://deploi.ca/tools/adobeLink to blog:https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-analytics-blogs/new-tool-to-assist-adobe-analytics-professionals-the-adobe/ba-p/744433 I hope you enjoy and find the tool useful!

Hi,I've integrated my on-premise AEM Author 6.5 server with an external LDAP server.Some groups are already present in the CMS, including, for example, the "administrators" group.In the LDAP server, my user account has been assigned the "administrators" profile. However, during the login process, even though the LDAP server correctly returns the associated group, no group is assigned to the user in AEM.This is the message I find in the logs:org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.basic.DefaultSyncContext - idp returned 'administrators'org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.basic.DefaultSyncContext Existing authorizable 'administrators' is not a group from this IDP 'ldap-externalModule'.The same issue also occurs with other groups, not just with "administrators".Any idea how I can resolve this issue?Thanks!

Have you ever wondered how Marketo processes campaigns and why some take longer to run than others? Then buckle in because this post will do a deep dive on how Marketo assigns campaign priority and also covers how and when you should use the campaign priority override feature.   How does Marketo Prioritize Campaigns?   Marketo uses a “last-in, last-out” queue method for processing smart campaigns along with the priority of the smart campaigns in the queue. Trigger and batch campaigns each have their own queue and within each queue, the priority of the smart campaigns is determined by the flow steps in each smart campaign.   Priority Flow Action High Send email (triggered)Send alert Medium Request CampaignInteresting MomentCreate TaskConvert / Delete LeadAdd to / Remove from ListChange Sales Owner / Progression Status / Revenue Stage / Field in ProgramChange Member of / Add to / Remove fromSync to SFDCChange Status in SFDC Campaign Low Change data valueChange

I Have a requirement, where i need to get dam:sha1 of asset to find asset duplicates. However Asset metadata gets created post processing of asset, if i check "dam:sha1" immediately in code it gives NPE. So how can i check if asset has been processed and i pick dam:sha1 property from metadata post that?

[This discussion has been updated with the March 2025 assets - slide deck and recording]. Thank you to everyone who joined, asked questions, and shared additional pointers in today's workshop, 10 Text Mode Tips in Adobe Workfront with the Customer Success team!

Hi TeamWe are currently developing a custom Adaptive Form component using Core Forms Components. However, we are unable to see the "Display Pattern" option, which is available in Forms Foundation (Legacy) Components. Problem:In AEM Forms (OSGi forms add-on on-premises), when using Adaptive Forms Core Components, the Display Pattern property is missing in the Core Component dialog.RegardsVara

What is AB Testing?   A/B Testing is a controlled experiment to compare two versions of something (A vs B) to determine which performs better. It's used to optimize conversions, engagement, or any metric that matters.   How it works?   Identify a goal – increase email CTR, landing page signups, form submissions etc. Create two variants – A (current/default), B (new/test). Split the audience – Randomly show A to 50%, B to 50%. Measure performance – Track key metrics. Analyze results – Use statistical significance to decide if B beats A.   When to use AB testing?   In nutshell, AB testing represents an experiment. It is an iteration with an hypothesis (assumption) - that the new variant is better. The job of AB testing is to accept or reject this hypothesis. A/B testing helps you know what works better - not what you think works better. Hence, use it when you are looking for improvements through iterations. There can be many scenarios.    

Another chance to sing the praises of Marketo forms over other form builders. Marketo forms are just, well, normal. Others’ forms, by and large, are needlessly weird and obscure.   Take filling fields from UTM params. On a Marketo form, you just set up a field as type Hidden and set it to Autofill from a param like utm_campaign.   Doesn’t matter what the back end Marketo field is called: could be literally utm_campaign, or the more precise last_utm_campaign, or one of those fields with a backstory like UTM_Campaign_Really_Use_This_One_Guys.   Not so with a Squarespace form. There, even if a field is called utm_campaign it’s impossible to fill it from the param utm_campaign. Unless you use the custom JS below, you can only fill from param names that start with SQF_ and are all caps. That’s crazy!   Nobody wants to append SQF_UTM_CAMPAIGN to links. Even if teeeechnically utm_* params aren’t “standard,” they’re so widely supported that they might as well be.  

Introduction (Part 1)Ever wanted to make your website personalized for each visitor without slowing it down? That's exactly what we'll achieve by setting up Adobe Target Node SDK in Akamai EdgeWorker. We'll be using something called ODD (On-Device Decisioning) - think of it as having a smart assistant that makes quick decisions about what content to show each visitor, right at their doorstep. In this Part 1 guide, we'll walk through the set-up process, with more technical details coming in Part 2.How It Works: System Flow User Action: When someone types hostname/abc/home.html in their browser, they're asking to see a webpage. Think of this like walking into a store and asking for a specific product.Request Routing: This request first arrives at Akamai (a global network of servers). It's like having a branch of a local store that can handle your request instead of going to the main warehouse.Rule Matching: Akamai sees that this specific webpage (hostname/abc/home.html) has special

In previous posts, we covered migrating Adobe Analytics and Target to Edge Data Collection using the data object. Migrating Adobe Audience Manager (AAM) to Web SDK ensures you maintain alignment between audience management and your updated Analytics and Target set ups. In this blog, we’ll discuss some important considerations to keep in mind when migrating AAM to Web SDK. You can find a complete Web SDK migration tutorial here. Comparing Web SDK and Server-Side Forwarding First, let's take a look at AAM with server-side forwarding compared to Web SDK. Most legacy AAM implementations leverage Adobe Analytics data by enabling server-side forwarding (SSF) through the Analytics report suite. When migrating to Web SDK, AAM must be enabled in the datastream. Enabling the AAM service allows data to be sent to AAM and services such as ID syncs, cookie destinations, or URL destinations, to be returned back to the page on the Web SDK interact call response. While SSF is still available

What would be the simplest approach to have aem 6.5 treat the various tif extension variations (tif tiff TIF and TIFF) as the same or convert them during upload? Ideally this would occur as a file is uploaded and would trigger the Naming Conflict popup if another file has the same name but a different tif extension (ex: filename.tif and filename.TIFF would be treated the same). My initial concept is to overlay the javascript here: /libs/dam/gui/coral/components/commons/fileupload/clientlibs/fileupload/js/fileupload.jsand have it convert the extension of the various tif extensions to a single variation like .tif during the getDuplicates function. Any suggestions? Or is this the best approach?
