Selective Content Packaging in ADX Tools is a wizard that helps you complete package creation in AEM in a simple manner. Backing up pages before updating them during a package deployment is an advisable practice. You can always use the backup to restore your pages if anything goes wrong (you never know).<\/p>\n

But the list of paths for package creation is usually long, and manual package creation with such a list becomes tedious and time-consuming for content authors.<\/p>\n

Purpose:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Create an AEM package from paths (filters) present in an Excel file.<\/p>\n

Implementation:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Argil DX presents Selective Content Packaging with a user-friendly console to help users create AEM packages in a simpler and quicker manner through the following input fields:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Name – name of the package<\/li>\n
  • Version – version of the package<\/li>\n
  • Group – group of the package<\/li>\n
  • Access Control Handling – permissions to handle the nodes<\/li>\n
  • Excel file – file containing fields such as Path, Include child node, Include Image Renditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    All of the fields have default values except the Excel file.<\/p>\n

    \"ADX<\/p>\n

    A sample Excel file can be downloaded using the \u2018Sample\u2019 button present after the description of the file field.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The Excel file contains 3 fields:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Path – the absolute path of the node<\/li>\n
    2. Include Child Node (Yes\/No) – asking for tree activation on the specified path<\/li>\n
    3. Include DAM Renditions (if applicable) (Yes\/No) – AEM workflows automatically create DAM renditions on every server (unless altered), but users can opt not to include them by entering \u2018No\u2019 in this field.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \"Selective<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The tool also has a history page with a record of all the packages created using it. We can see the logs of operations as well as download the old package.<\/p>\n

      \"Selective<\/p>\n

      The history icon is present on the top right corner of the tool.<\/p>\n

      Advantages of the tool:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
        \n
      • Easy-to-use console for package creation<\/li>\n
      • Packages and their respective logs are accessible from remote locations<\/li>\n
      • Create space-saver packages by eliminating renditions of assets<\/li>\n
      • Easy searching and sorting in logs<\/li>\n
      • History page for package creation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
