CSV Asset Importer Missing (ACS Commons 5.3.4)

[beast42]

Hi, I installed ACS Commons latest package (5.3.4) on my local instance (AEM 6.5.9). After installing I am unable to find CSV Asst Importer utility.

ACS commons documentation mentions that based on requirement, Data Importer/Asset Ingestor or ACS commons CSV Import can be used.

Check MCP (Managed control process) ->start process->data importer.

(In your screenshot ->its second last option)

Hi @digarg , Thanks for the reply. I want to use CSV Asset Importer since I want to push asset binary and metadata using a single CSV file. 

Can you please provide details on CSV Asset Importer?

CSV Importer feature is mostly replaced by ACS AEM Commons Data Importer. Same I referred in above snapshot. You'll see an option to upload excel file in Data importer.

Thanks for the reply. The same page also mentions "Note there is not exact feature parity, so please review both to ensure you make the optimal choice"

Are you suggesting that CSV Asset Import is removed going forward? The wording is very confusing when it says "mostly" replaced.

CSV asset importer  is in ACS AEM Tools and not ACS AEM Commons. You can try and download this package.https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-tools/

You will see ACS AEM tools above ACS AEM Commons.

Thanks! I was not aware they are 2 separate packages.
