AEM Assets Insights: Integration with Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js) Not Supported

This article clarifies the current support status and available options for integrating AEM Assets Insights with Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js) instead of the legacy AppMeasurement.js library.

Description description

Environment

  • Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Assets Insights (all versions)
  • Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js)

Issue/Symptoms

  • You’re migrating or have migrated site analytics from the legacy AppMeasurement.js library to the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js) for data collection.
  • The official AEM Assets Insights documentation only describes implementation using AppMeasurement.js.
  • You’re seeking to implement asset impression and click tracking using the Web SDK, and need guidance on required XDM schema fields, datastream configuration, or Launch/Tags extension setup.
  • There is uncertainty whether AEM Assets Insights supports tracking via the Web SDK or if AppMeasurement.js is strictly required.

No error messages or stack traces are generated, as this is a feature support and implementation question.

Resolution resolution

Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:

  1. Current Support Status

    • As of this writing, AEM Assets Insights doesn’t support direct integration with the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js) for asset impression and click tracking.
    • The only supported method is via the legacy AppMeasurement.js library as described in the official documentation.
  2. Feature Enhancement Request

    • An enhancement request has been filed with engineering to support AEM Assets Insights integration with the Web SDK (reference: ASSETS-68987).
    • This request is under investigation; there’s no committed release date or timeline for delivery.
  3. Workarounds

    • There’s currently no officially supported workaround to enable AEM Assets Insights tracking via the Web SDK.
    • Customers requiring this functionality should continue using AppMeasurement.js for Assets Insights tracking until official support is announced.
  4. Staying Informed

    • Monitor the AEM Assets Insights documentation and Adobe Experience League release notes for updates on Web SDK support.
    • Customers may also contact Adobe Support to request updates on the enhancement request status.

Cause

AEM Assets Insights is architected to work with AppMeasurement.js, and doesn’t currently provide compatibility with the Adobe Experience Platform Web SDK (alloy.js).
