Hello Team,

I want to update metadata for 10, 000 assets in AEM

What is the best way to update metadata for bulk no. Of assets at once or in batch wise?

Thanks

for AEM Cloud - You would need to use AEMaaCS OOTB Bulk Importer or use aem-upload npm module

. Bulk importer should work fine if you can manually export and update metadata in the csv and re-import metadata using OOTB feature.

node based aem-upload library - if you want to do it programmatically or need to push this from an external source/script.

for AEM Onpremise/AMS - use Data importer ACS AEM Commons

under AEM MCP tools.

Though CSV importer is also an option but that is mostly replaced by ACS AEM Commons Data Importer as stated in ACS public docs.

@girishb83316758 Assuming that you are on AEMaaCS, then

Bulk Import Tool is the best way to go. However, it has a limitation of Batch Size of 100 that needs to be figured out.

Another way is to use Assets HTTP API, creating a mapping file, writing a script to automate the metadata update:

However, if it is AEM On Prem, consider using ACS Commons CSV Importer

I got the solution from

First exported metadata of all assets in folder. Select the folder which has assets. From toolbar select metadata export. It gives CSV file.

Secondly, I edited CSV file with metadata required. And imported this file in asset.

It processed 100 files in a batch.

Thanks
