dam folder

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

We see that whenever we upload some assets to AEM DAM using DAM Admin it is creating a redundant empty folder(Upper Case) under the same path .To elaborate more on the issue.It is happening for all types of assets like pdf,image,doc etc.

1-Suppose I am uploading a asset named lxk_mfg_ghs-printing-and-publishing_solutionsheet.pdf to the DAM under /content/dam/testfolder/documents/brochures/y2015.

2-After uploading the asset it creates a Folder named LXK_MFG_GHS-PRINTING-AND-PUBLISHING_SOLUTIONSHEET.PDF under /content/dam/testfolder/documents/brochures/y2015.

3-It is not happening for all assets but for few of the assets.So at this point we are not sure what is causing this to create a folder.

Please let us know if an one else has encountered this.Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Hi,

can you give the snapshot of the logs ?

Also, it looks like a bug. please do raise a support ticket aswell

[Lokesh_Shivalingaiah]

I think, this error you are seeing because its creating a folder instead of the dam asset node

[Former Community Member]

Our concern is why is it creating a redundant folder.Any clue will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Can you also check the status of the workflow that gets fired when you upload the asset?, also make sure you don't have any unnecessary workflow launchers configured 

Also I have one question, does it create a valid asset node? or it simply creates the redundant folder with asset name?

I tried replicating the same. 

Created a pdf file with the name 'Lexmark_Perceptive_Mobile_Capture_SDK-Solution-Sheet.pdf' . uploaded the file using /damadmin

It created the asset node properly without any issue.

Can you please give the steps you are following ?

Is this happening for any files that you upload or only for few ?

[Former Community Member]

I go to DAM Admin and upon selecting the folder where my asset to be placed -New File->browse the asset from my local to upload.

This is the step i follow to upload.

[Former Community Member]

This is happening for few assets not for all.

Workflows are fine and yes it creates a redundant empty folder .
