How to integrate Asset Share Commons into an existing...

[uafzal]

I am trying to integrate Asset Share Commons into an existing AEM maven project. The build and deployment to a local AEM SDK as well as in the Cloud are successful - the features work fine in AEM local SDK. In the cloud, I am able to open the Asset Share Commons Site but, the "download", "add to cart", and, "searching" etc features are not working - looks like it was not installed properly. Am I missing anything crucial?

I am adding it in the pom.xml file as follows which downloads the artifacts from the Maven Repo:

<!-- Asset Share Commons as EMBED -->
<embedded>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem.commons</groupId>
	<artifactId>assetshare.ui.apps</artifactId>
	<type>zip</type>
	<target>/apps/application/install</target>
</embedded>              
<embedded>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem.commons</groupId>
	<artifactId>assetshare.ui.content</artifactId>
	<type>zip</type>
	<target>/apps/content/install</target>
</embedded>    



<!-- Asset Share Commons as Dependnecy -->
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem.commons</groupId>
	<artifactId>assetshare.ui.apps</artifactId>
	<version>1.9.6</version>
	<type>zip</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>com.adobe.aem.commons</groupId>
	<artifactId>assetshare.ui.content</artifactId>
	<version>1.9.6</version>
	<type>zip</type>
</dependency>

This looks correct (though i'd probably scope the /apps/<MY-APP>-packages/application/install and /apps/<MY-APP>-packages/content/install just to align w/ common convention.

Assuming the search itself actually works, that means the Bundle is active, etc. - which is a great sign. If search doesnt work/page is broken - then youll need to do some more investigating.

If it's just the actions (share, download, add to cart) that arent available - double-check that on your Search page's Page Properties that you have them enabled on the Asset Share tab as described in the Docs [1].

Hi, @davidjgonzalezzzz yes, I have the same scope as you mentioned.

I compared the files for Asset Share Commons in my Local AEM SDK and Cloud. Looks like, the following are missing in cloud:

/etc/cloudsettings/asset-share-commons
/etc/notification/email/asset-share-commons
/etc/notification/email/rep:policy

[davidjgonzalezzzz]

Make a package of those from local and install on Cloud and see if it works. I dont think that should break the functionality you said it broken though. After packaging them up - you could also try to removing them from SDK to see if you can reproduce the breaking behavior that way.

@davidjgonzalezzYes, it worked. I packaged the missing filters from the local SDK and uploaded it to the Cloud.

Is there a way to add these missing filters in the codebase and then deploy them through the pipeline?

[davidjgonzalezzzz]

Well - they are, theyre just in the wrong package (for AEM as a Cloud Service) .. theyre in the ui.apps package.

I assume you have your own ui.content package (thats a sibling to your all pacakge)? Just add them in there... 

You can copy them from here:

https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/asset-share-commons/tree/master/ui.apps/src/main/content/jc...

@davidjgonzalezzzz Yes, I have ui.apps as well as ui.content. So, I copied the files from the github link you shared into ui.content jcr_root. I ran the pipeline to deploy but, I still don't see the prior missing cloudsettings and notification files

[davidjgonzalezzzz]

Did you add those paths to your filter.xml? and make sur that the merge modes make sense based on what content you might have at those filter paths?
