How to work with packages (2023)

Packages allow the import and export of repository content.For example, you can use packages to install new functions, transmit content between instances and ensure repository content.

Packages can be accessed and/or managed on the following pages:

  • Package manager, with which you manage the packages in the local body.

  • Package approval, a central server that considers publicly available and private packages for your company.Public packages may contain hotfixes, new functions, documentation etc.

You can transfer packages between Parcel Manager, package approval and your file system.

What are packages?

One package is an ZIP file that contains repository content in the form of an eriaization of the file system (referred to as "" safe "eriaization).This offers a display of friendly and war -related files and folders.

Packages include content, page content, and project selected with filters.

A package also contains information about Vault -Meta, including filter settings and import configuration information.Advanceable content properties (which are not used for packet extraction) can be included in the package, for example, b.A description, a visual image or a symbol.These properties apply only to the consumer of the content package and only for information purposes.

OBSERVATION

Packages represent the current version of the content at the time of package creation.They do not contain previous versions of the content that AEM kept in the repository.

You can perform the following actions in or with packages:

  • Create new packages;Set package settings and filter as needed
  • View the contents of the package (before construction)
  • Create Packages
  • Show package information
  • Show package content (after construction)
  • Change the definition for existing packages
  • Evaluation packages
  • Delicate packages
  • Download AEM packages to your file system
  • To the packages of your file system in your instance aem local
  • Validate package content before installation
  • Run a dry installation
  • Install packages (AEM installs packages after upload not automatically)
  • Delete packages
  • Download packages such as Hotfixes from the Share Library Package
  • Download packages in the Hoch Package Agency Library section

Package information

A definition of package consists of different types of information:

  • Package Settings
  • Package filter
  • Paket -Screenshots
  • Order Symbols

Package Settings

You can edit a variety of order settings to define aspects such as package description, related errors, premises and provider information.

OPackage SettingsThe dialog box is available through theTo editSE buttonTo createoreditionA package and offers three guides for configuration.After making changes, click clickOKto save them.

Package filter

Filter Identify the repository nodes included in the packageFilterDefinitionIndicates the following information:

  • ORoot pathInclude the content.
  • RulesThis includes or excludes certain knots below the main path.

The filter may contain zero or more rules.If no rule is defined, the package contains all content below the main path.

You can set one or more filter definitions for a package.Use more than one filter to include the content of various root paths.

How to work with packages (4)

The following table describes these rules and contains examples:

Control type Description Example
to contain You can set a path or use a regular expression to specify all nodes you want to include.

Including a directory:

  • Add this directoryEAll files and folders in this directory (ie H. The whole tree)
  • noAdd other files or folders under the path of the trunk specified on the way to the specified trunk
/libs/sling/install(/.*?lang=en)?
delete You can specify a path or use a regular expression to indicate all nodes you want to discard.

Without a directory, this directory excludesEAll files and folders in this directory (ie the whole sub -arrangement).

/libs/wcm/foundation/components(/.*?lang=en)?

OBSERVATION

A package can contain several filter definitions so that nodes from different locations can be easily combined in a package.

Package filters are defined more often when they are for the first timeCreate the packagebut they can also be processed later (after that, the package must be rebuilt).

Paket -Screenshots

You can attach screenshots to your package to make a visual presentation of what the content is like.For example, providing screen captures of new functions.

Order Symbols

You can also connect your package to a quick visual presentation of what the package contains, a quick visual display provides.This is displayed on the package list and can help it easily identify the package or package class.

As a package may contain a symbol, the following conventions are used for official packages:

OBSERVATION

To avoid confusion, use a descriptive symbol for your package and do not use any of the official symbols.

    CliqueOKSo that the new package is loaded and listed on the list of package managers.

    OBSERVATION

    To make the content available, you must definitely guaranteeInstall the package.

Validate packages

Before installing a package, you can check the content.Overlapping file packages can be changed in/APPSand/or add, modify and remove the ACLs. Often times, it is useful to validate these changes before installation.

Validation options

The validation mechanism can verify the following packet properties:

  • Osgi -packetportport
  • Overlapping
  • ACLs

These options are detailed below.

  • Validating Osgi Partimports

    What is verified

    This validation inspects the package for all Jar (Osgi package) files, extracts itsManifest.xml(containing the version facilities on which the OSGI package is based) and checks AEM instance exports, which contains the dependencies with the correct versions.

    How it is reported

    All version premises that cannot be met by the AEM instance are listed in theActivity protocolof the package manager.

    Failed states

    If the dependencies are not satisfied, the Osgi package will not start in the package with these dependencies.This leads to a broken application provision, as everything that is based on the unpaid Osgi package does not work correctly.

    Error solution

    To correct errors due to packets of dissatisfied Osgi, the package version should be adjusted with dissatisfied imports.

  • Validate overlays

    What is verified

    This validation determines whether the package to be installed contains a file that is already overlapping at destination.

    For example, with an existing overlap/Apps/sling/servlet/errorhandler/404.jsp, a package that contains/libs/sling/servlet/errorhandler/404.jsp, for this to change the existing file/libs/sling/servlet/errorhandler/404.jsp.

    (Video) GoLang Packages and Modules | Beginners Go Tutorial

    How it is reported

    Such overlaps are described in theActivity protocolof the package manager.

    Failed states

    An error status means that the package tries to provide an overlapping file. Therefore, changes in the package are replaced by overlap (and therefore "hidden") and is not effective.

    Error solution

    To correct this problem, the overlay file supervisor is in/APPSShould check the changes in the overlaid file/Libsand integrate changes in overlap as needed (/APPS) and re -apply the overlaid file.

    OBSERVATION

    Note that the validation mechanism cannot enter the line if the overlapping content has been adequately included in the overlap file.This validation will continue to report in conflicts even after the necessary changes.

  • Validate ACLS

    What is verified

    These validation checks which are added permissions, how they are treated (mixed/replacement) and if current permissions are influenced.

    How it is reported

    Authorizations are described in theActivity protocolof the package manager.

    Failed states

    No explicit error can be provided.Validation only indicates whether new ACL permissions are added or influenced by the package installation.

    Error solution

    Using the information provided by validation, the affected nodes can be checked in Crxde and ACLs can be adjusted in the package as needed.

    CAREFUL

    Proven procedures recommend that packages do not influence ACLs ready for AEM as this can lead to unexpected product behavior.

Validation Implementation

Package validation can be performed in two different ways:

  • Through the Package Manager user interface
  • Via http posting request, as in curl

OBSERVATION

Validation should always occur after package loading, but before installation.

Package validation through the Orders Manager

  1. Open the Orders Manager inhttps: // <merver>: <sot>/crx/packmgr

  2. Select the package in the list and selectMoreSuspended from the header and thenconfirmedNo suspense menu.

    OBSERVATION

    This should be done after uploading the content package, but before installing the package.

  3. Use "modal" in the "modal" dialog box, which is displayedconfirmed.Alternative clickCancel.

  4. The selected validation is then performed.

Package validation via http posting requirement

The following form accepts the posting requirement.

https: // <dost>: <sot> /crx/packmgr/service.jsp?cmd=validate&type=osgipackageImports.overlays,acls

OBSERVATION

OTYPEParameters can be all separated separated list lists by comma:

  • OsgipackageImports
  • Overlapping
  • ACLs

The value ofTYPEby defaultOsgipackageImportsUnless.

The following is an example of the use of CRO to perform a package validation.

  1. If you use Curl, make a similar instruction as follows:

    CURL -V -X POST -Admin: admin -f -file=@users/someguy/desktop/core.wcm.components.all-1.0.zip 'http: // localhost: 4502/crx/packmgr/Service.JSP?
  2. The requested validation is performed and the answer is returned as a JSON object.

OBSERVATION

The response to a http post requirey validation is a JSON object with validation results.

Install packages

After sending a package, you must install the content.The package content is installed and functional, it must be both:

  • loaded in AEM (alsoLoaded loaded from your file systemorDownloaded from the package launch)

  • Furnished

CAREFUL

Installing a package can replace or delete existing content.Load only one package if you are sure not to exclude or replace the necessary content.

To see the content or effects of a package, you can:

  • Run a package test installation without changing the contents:
    Open the package (click on the symbol or package name) and clickTestimal.

  • See a package content list:
    Open the package and clickContent.

OBSERVATION

An instant package is created immediately before installing your package to contain replaced content.

This instant will be reinstalled when you uninstall your package.

CAREFUL

If you install digital assets, you should:

  • First, disable the workflow launcher.
    Use the Osgi console component menu to disablecom.day.cq.workflow.launcher.impl.workflownungenerimpl.

  • Then, when the installation is completed, reactivates the workflow launcher.

The deactivation of the workflow launcher ensures that the structure for the importer of assets does not handle active during installation.

  2. CliqueTo installTo start the installation.In a dialog box, confirmation is requested and all changes made.To closeNo dialogue.

    The wordFurnishedappears next to the package after installation.

File system based on upload and installation

There is an alternative way to upload and install packages in your instance.In your file system, you have aCrx-QuickstartFolder next to its glass andLicenseFile.sie must create a folder calledTo installsobCrx-Quickstart.They will have something like this:<aem_home>/crx-quickstart/installation

In this installation you can add your packages directly.They are loaded and automatically installed in their instance.If it is completed, you can see the packages in the package manager.

If your instance is performed, add a package to add to addTo installThe folder starts upload and installation in the instance.To installThe folder is installed in the alphabetical order at the beginning.

OBSERVATION

You can also do this before starting the instance for the first time.Crx-QuickstartManual folder you create theTo installFolders below and provide your packages there.If you start your instance for the first time, the packages will be installed in the alphabetical order.

Uninstall packages

With AEM, you can uninstall packages.This campaign returns the contents of the repository, which is affected on the instantaneous created immediately before the package installation.

OBSERVATION

During installation, an instant package is created, which contains the content that is replaced.

This package will be reinstalled if you uninstall the package.

  1. At the Orders Manager, browse the package you want to uninstall.
  2. Click on the package of the package you want to uninstall.
  3. CliqueUninstallTo remove the contents of this repository package.In a dialog box, confirmation is requested and all changes made.To closeNo dialogue.
