Installation
In Adobe Experience Manager, XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service cannot be installed from a package (unlike, for example, the stand-alone XTM Connect – Adobe Experience Manager system). This is because limitations have been introduced along with Adobe CI:
You cannot install any package directly, with either Adobe Experience Manager CRX Package Manager or even cURL commands, as you have no permissions to do so.
Adobe CI is the only way to upload a CRX package and install it.
Only one package can be deployed onto the Adobe Experience Manager environment.
All extensions, such as XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service, need to be added as a dependency to the main application project and embedded as part of the deployed package.
In simple terms, the XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service installation process can be seen like this: to enable XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service to connect to the Adobe Experience Manager system, and be used in it, a specific URL needs to be added to a configuration file (Maven pom.xml). This URL is for the XTM Cloud JFrog libraries repository.
Prerequisites
Before you can install XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service, certain prerequisites must be met:
The Adobe Experience Manager SDK must be installed on your local Adobe Experience Manager system. It is primarily used for testing the build.
You must have access to your project on Git.
You must have access to your Adobe Cloud Manager system configuration, with permissions to run Adobe CI builds.
You must have some basic knowledge of how to configure a Maven pom.xml file.
Installation tasks
When required, you can also upgrade the existing XTM Connect – AEM as a Cloud Service instance.
