SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Design and deploy AEM Cloud Service workflow models by defining nodes, transitions, and variables to ensure consistent automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define PROCESS, PARTICIPANT, OR_SPLIT, and AND_SPLIT steps with correct metadata and transitions.
  • Build models stored under /conf/global/settings/workflow/models/ and deploy via the Cloud Manager pipeline.
  • Validate compatibility with Cloud Service guardrails and ensure synchronization to /var/workflow/models/.

Quick Start

Outline the workflow objective, map steps and transitions, and prepare the model for deployment in Cloud Manager.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design AEM Cloud Service workflow models for deployment?

Design AEM Cloud Service workflow models by defining PROCESS, PARTICIPANT, OR_SPLIT, and AND_SPLIT nodes with correct metadata, transitions, and variables to ensure consistent automation before storing them in the repository.

What is the correct repository path for AEM Cloud Service workflow models?

AEM Cloud Service workflow models must be stored under /conf/global/settings/workflow/models/ and will synchronize to /var/workflow/models/ to align with Cloud Service deployment conventions and guardrails.

Can I deploy AEM workflow models directly or do I need Cloud Manager?

You must deploy AEM workflow models via the Cloud Manager pipeline to validate compatibility with Cloud Service guardrails, ensuring proper synchronization to /var/workflow/models/ instead of direct manual deployment.

How do OR_SPLIT and AND_SPLIT steps work in AEM workflow design?

OR_SPLIT and AND_SPLIT steps in AEM workflow design define branching nodes with specific transitions and metadata, allowing conditional routing and parallel execution paths within your process model.

What are the Cloud Service guardrails for building workflow models?

Cloud Service guardrails for workflow models require proper XML structure, correct repository placement under /conf/global/settings/workflow/models/, and deployment through Cloud Manager to guarantee synchronization and compatibility.

Why does my AEM workflow model need XML structure and metadata?

AEM workflow models require XML structure and metadata to define nodes, transitions, and variables correctly, ensuring the model validates against Cloud Service guardrails and synchronizes properly during deployment.
