Aemaacs : Using Bulk Import of Assets throws null pointer exception

[avnkalyan502]

Hi Everyone,

As part of POC, I'm trying to import assets from Azure blob to local aemaacs instance. Bulk Import Configuration is created successfully and config check [1] and dry run [2] are working as expected. However, when I run the config to import assets [3] , it fails with a null pointer exception as below. Did anyone faced this issue? Are there any other configs that we need to configure? Looking for inputs. Thanks in advance.

Hi @avnkalyan502,

I do not think Bulk Import is supported on local environment. Looking into architecture it is using Asset Compute Service which is not available locally.

• https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/adobe-developers-live-events/assets/asset-bulk-ingestion.pdf...
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY6A9hzKN2M - Adobe Developers Live | Asset Bulk Ingestion - recording

You can try to setup Asset Compute Development Tool, according to below guide:

• https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/cloud-service/asset-compute/develop...

Most likely you will need to move with your PoC into cloud environment to make it work.
