AEM 6.4 Content Fragment Basics

AEM 6.4 Supports Content Fragments to deliver content as a service.
Experience Fragments enables Experience-as-a-Service, where the CMS controls partial-page rendering, or Hybrid CMS, solutions that let you push your content to any channel — just as headless systems do — using a delivery tier that connects all those channels and shares data between them.

Content Fragments helps to project AEM as a headless CMS.

What is a content fragment?

• Contains one or more Content Elements,
• Content can have one or more  Variations.
• Content fragment can be created based on templates which define the structure.
• Content fragments are a type of new assets.
• Content Fragment use existing Assets functionality & fully integrated with assets.
• Content Fragments are well tied with Translation workflows, metadata schema.

        
A content fragment groups renditions, related items, associated items, metadata, model, elements, variations etc in a single Content.

Can we add a Content Fragment to a page?

Yes it can be added to a page using default content fragment component as other components.

Which is the API service for Content Fragments?
Latest AEM provides server side API com.adobe.cq.dam.cfm to programmatically interact with Content Fragments.

ContextHub/Segments AEM 6.4 - Audience Creation

PREVIOUS: Personalization Basics & Steps to create Personalization in AEM 6.4

There are 2 ways we can achieve Personalization in AEM.

 

Through this post, we are discussing about the ContextHub based personalization and method of ContextHub creation. 
 
ContextHub/Segments - Audience Creation

ContextHub is a new form(Touch based) of segments which helps to configure the personalization. The ContextHub page provides information about the default and user created stores and UI modules, the client library folders that are loaded, and links to useful pages.
  
Read About ContextHub/Segments - Audience Creation AEM 6.3 version

Steps to create ContextHub in AEM 6.4

• Login to AEM 6.4

• Traverse through Navigation> Personalization> Audiences> 

• Then enter into the site where you want to create ContextHubs

I have selected 'we-retail' site for my example.
[You can also follow the path to reach ContextHub creation section through link : http://(host):(port)/libs/cq/personalization/touch-ui/content/v2/audiences.html/conf/we-retail]


Create Context Hub Segment: A section where we can add new segments and update existing ones.
   

 

ContextHub 'Create' provides below option.

• Enter the segment title and boost value if it has to be boosted on evaluation

• Once you click on Create Context Hub Segment, below screen appears.

This section has grid/ list views.

• Once Context Hub Segment is created, select the newly created one and edit it

   

• You can see a 'Container AND' component placed by default. If it is not available, add it.

• Again click on the newly added container (+) icon and insert new component and select 'Comparison: Property - Value'

Now the container appears as below with property null (3).

• Now edit the property as below (4) , so that the newly added Context Hub Segment becomes a 'male' test based on profile; for that follow next step.

• Setting for male: set the values as 'gender equal string male'

•  Since we have logged in as default admin user, the user/persona satisfy the male condition, which is shown below.

• If persona is selected as female the condition becomes un-satisfied.

•  If persona is selected as male the condition becomes satisfied again.

In the upcoming posts we will be discussing further topics on AEM 6.4 personalization.

What is a Pattern Detector? Role of Pattern Detector in upgrading older AEM to 6.4 version.

Pattern Detector helps in assessing the complexity of AEM upgrades.

How the Pattern Detector works?
Pattern detector scan the existing code base before upgrade to ensure that there are no code breakers involved in current code base. After scanning, Pattern Detector provides a set of action items to fix if any issues found. This includes detailed report of violation explanations and remediation guidance.

How this is helpful?
AEM 6.4 reserves some of the paths and reserved granite codes for internal AEM use only. So Pattern Detector checks any such paths which may be over written by upgrade, also any API which may not be compatible with 6.4 version. Pattern detection is a mandatory step for upgrading to AEM 6.4

Click on image to see it big

Install & configure Pattern Detector:

The installation & configuration steps can be found here

The Pattern detector is available for versions AEM 6.1, AEM 6.2, AEM 6.3, which is downloadable using Adobe Id. This needs to be installed through AEM package manager.

Access & Analysis of report:
Go to configrMgr and select 'Status'> Pattern Detector. The reports are available in normal text or JSON formats.

Some of the Pattern detector sample codes are

• OCU - Depicts Deprecated usages
• ECU - Suspicious overlays, overrides, references
• LOCP -  Any packages that overwrites '/libs'
• NBCC - Non backwards compatible changes
• CAV - Directs to reduce the amount of overlayed content in general due to security problems

Usage Recommendations:
Pattern detector is recommended to use at stage environments to avoid any slowness in production environments.

AEM Assets Smart Search Capability with Apache Joshua

The latest AEM (AEM 6.4) provides a smart search capability for AEM Assets by translating the search terms. Let us understand more about this here.

What is Apache Joshua Language Packs ?
Wiki says "Apache Joshua is a statistical machine translation decoder for phrase-based, hierarchical, and syntax-based machine translation, written in Java". As of now it has around 64 language packs available.

The new AEM provides smart searches with language translation across AEM content & Assets. Which means when we do a search of term 'Man'(English)/'hombre'(Spanish)/'homme'(French) gives the same assets result which avoids the manual content translation.

How it works?
Apache Oak Machine Translation OSGi bundle once installed, helps to check feasibility of translating a search term utilizing registered language packs. On the back-end the Apache Joshua provides the language packs support.

Steps involved in search translation:

• User searches a English/ Non-English term in AEM search box
• With help of registered language packs the Apache Oak Machine Translation bundle provides a list of translated terms.
• Now each translated terms are executed as queries to AEM search index.
• The results are collected and displayed to user

AEM Smart Search Process

Pre-requisites for adding the functionality.
1) Apache Oak Search Machine Translation OSGi bundle must be installed and configured
2) Apache Joshua language packs(Open source) that contain the translation rules (Specific to our needs; If we need Spanish, we need to install Spanish Language Pack)

How to setup 'Smart Translation Search with AEM Assets'?

• Download and install the Oak Search Machine Translation OSGi bundle
• Download and update the Apache Joshua language packs
• Restart AEM - Ensure to update heap memory allocation
• Update OSGi configurations - To register the language packs via Apache Jackrabbit Oak Machine Translation Fulltext Query Terms Provider

Where do I get the language packs?
