Work front to AEM integration

[krishna_garikapati]

1. Is it possible to integrate Workfront in one IMS org and AEM in another.
2. Is it possible to store the Metadata in AEM with data type as Varchar while the source(Workfront) datatype is Boolean. If so please suggest the way.

Hi @krishna_garikapati 

Yes, It's Possible to Integrate WF with AEM.

Also, for storing metadata in AEM with a datatype of varchar when the source datatype in Workfront is Boolean, you would perform a data type conversion during the integration process.

When data is extracted from Workfront and passed to AEM, you would convert the Boolean data to a string/varchar. For example, true/false could be converted to "true"/"false" or any other relevant varchar value.

In AEM, a datatype conversion would typically be handled in your backend code. If you're using Java (JCR or Sling Model), you can simply use String.valueOf(boolean) to convert the boolean to a string. Remember, this would need to be done before saving the data into the AEM repository.

Thanks,
