Hi @RizwanZafar,

To use GraphQL on AEM 6.5 following requirements needs to be fulfilled:

• SP10 or newer needs to be installed, as per release notes SP10 is the first SP that adds GraphQL support to AEM 6.5
• GraphQL endpoints need to be configured - see this documentation to get more information how to do this - https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-learn/getting-started-with-aem-headless/g...
• install graphiql-0.0.4.zip or graphiql-0.0.6.zip - this is only developers tool, and it will not work if previews two points are not met. Please also keep in mind that on AEM 6.5 this tool will be available under /content/graphiql.html and will not be accessible from any other console or view. You have to use direct link.
• cfm-graphql-index-def-1.0.0.zip - this package provides oak index definition.

All above packages can be found under Software Distribution portal.

Last but not least, please explore this guide, it describes step by step how to configure GraphQL on AEM 6.5 - https://kiransg.com/2021/12/04/aem-content-fragments-with-graphql-getting-started-with-graphql/

Hi lukasz-m,

I was able to find cfm-graphql-index-def-1.0.0.zip under Software Distribution portal, but not able to find graphiql-0.0.4.zip or graphiql-0.0.6.zip?

As you said the option is not available on the menu, but going directly to the url http://localhost:4502/content/graphiql.html is goin fine but I can't see the dropdown to select the endpoint and the option to save queries.

Do you know what is the cause?

Thanks!

GraphiQL interface  is bound to global endpoint especially for AEM On Prem. On AEMaaCS, we have the option to select EndPoints for GraphiQL interface. Look into below highlighted link
