Adobe Experience Cloud Installation Guide

This guide will walk you through the installation and configuration of the Smartcat Connector for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service.

Smartcat Connector allows seamless integration between Smartcat and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) as a Cloud Service, streamlining translation and localization workflows. By connecting AEM to Smartcat, you can automate content translation and centralize management, saving time and ensuring consistency across languages.

Steps to Install the Smartcat Connector

1. Check that the main POM.xml (i.e. the public Maven repository where connector package is resided) has link to Central Repository.

<repository>

    <id>central</id>

    <name>Central Repository</name>

    <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>

    <layout>default</layout>

    <snapshots>

        <enabled>false</enabled>

    </snapshots>

</repository>

2. Open /all/pom.xml and add this code to dependencies:

<! -- Smartcat connector -->

<dependency>

    <groupId>com.smartcat.aem.connector</groupId>

    <artifactId>smartcat-connector.ui.apps</artifactId>

    <version>1.0.19</version>

    <type>zip</type>

</dependency>

3. Add the connector package as embedded section to /all/pom.xml.

Important: embedded should be added to the plugins section, not the profiles one:

<!-- Smartcat connector -->

<embedded>

    <groupId>com.smartcat.aem.connector</groupId>

    <artifactId>smartcat-connector.ui.apps</artifactId>

    <type>zip</type>

    <target>/apps/smartcat-vendor-packages/application/install</target>

</embedded>

4. Add a Workspace filter for Jackrabbit FileVault

By default filter settings are stored in the /all/main/content/META-INF/vault/filter.xml

You need to add this filter to it:

<filter root="/apps/smartcat-vendor-packages"/>

5. Commit all the changes to the branch and push the changes.

6. The build for AEM as a Cloud Service can now be done.

Connector Configuration is the same as for on-premise version.
