Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation foundation

What is New what-is-new-foundation

  • The “Add tree” option under the replication agent admin screen’s Distribute tab, which was previously announced as deprecated, was removed June 20, 2022 or soon thereafter. Packages with a tree hierarchy of content should instead be replicated using Manage Publication or the Publish Content Tree workflow.

  • Using the replication agent admin screen or replication API for distributing content packages larger than 10 MB (nodes with properties, not including binaries) is deprecated and enforced on September 12, 2022 or soon thereafter. Instead, Manage Publication or the Publish Content Tree workflow must be used to replicate these large content packages. In July, a warning message will appear in the replication agent admin screen’s Distribute tab if attempting to replicate these large content packages and also in the AEM error log whenever the replication API is used to replicate these large content packages. In September, warnings were replaced by errors. Adjust your processes accordingly.

Experience Manager as a Cloud Service Foundation Security foundation-security

TLS 1.0, 1.1 deprecation

Starting June 30, 2022, Experience Manager as a Cloud Service will require a more secure network communication and data exchange with users systems. AEM will use exclusively Transport Layer Security (TLS), 1.2 protocol. Older TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 are now deprecated.

If you continue to use older versions of TLS as 1.0, 1.1, you could potentially lose access to Experience Manager as a Cloud Service.
