Steps to enable the trigger of a script via a servlet
(Only if you are on a release before the June 2023 release of Experience Manager Guides as a Cloud Service)
After you complete the installation, you can choose to HIT the trigger to start the translation job:
POST:
http://localhost:4503/bin/guides/script/start?jobType=translation-map-upgrade
Response:
{
"msg": "Job is successfully submitted and lock node is created for future reference",
"lockNodePath": "/var/dxml/executor-locks/translation-map-upgrade/1683190032886",
"status": "SCHEDULED"
}
In the previous response JSON, the key lockNodePath holds the path to the node created in the repository pointing to the job submitted. It will automatically be deleted once the job is completed, then you can refer to this node for the status of the job.
Wait till this job is completed before proceeding to the next steps.

Steps to post process the existing content to use the broken link report
(Only if you are on a release before the June 2023 release of Experience Manager Guides as a Cloud Service)
Perform the following steps for post-processing the existing content and using the new broken link report:
-
(Optional) If there are more than 100,000 DITA files in the system, update the
queryLimitReadsandqueryLimitInMemoryunderorg.apache.jackrabbit.oak.query.QueryEngineSettingsServiceto a larger value (any value greater than the number of assets present, for example 200,000) and then redeploy.-
Use the instructions given in the Configuration overrides section in Install and configure Adobe Experience Manager Guides as a Cloud Service, to create the configuration file.
-
In the configuration file, provide the following (property) details to configure the
queryLimitReadsandqueryLimitInMemoryoption:table 0-row-3 1-row-3 2-row-3 PID Property Key Property Value org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.query.QueryEngineSettingsService queryLimitReads Value: 200000 Default Value: 100000 org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.query.QueryEngineSettingsService queryLimitInMemory Value: 200000 Default Value: 100000
-
-
Run a POST request to the server (with correct authentication) -
http://<server>//bin/guides/reports/upgrade. -
The API returns a jobId. To check the status of the job, you can send a GET request with job id to the same end point -
http://<server>/bin/guides/reports/upgrade?jobId= {jobId}
(For example:http://localhost:8080/bin/guides/reports/upgrade?jobId=2022/9/15/7/27/7dfa1271-981e-4617-b5a4-c18379f11c42_678) -
Once the job is completed, the previous GET request responds with success. If the job fails for some reason, then failure can be seen from server logs.
-
Revert back to the default or previous existing value of
queryLimitReadsif you have changed it in step 1.
Steps to index the existing content to use the new find and replace and topic list under the Reports tab:
(Only if you are on a release before the June 2023 release of Experience Manager Guides as a Cloud Service)
Perform the following steps for indexing the existing content and use the new find and replace text at map level and topic list under the reports tab:
-
Run a POST request to the server (with correct authentication) -
http://<server:port>/bin/guides/map-find/indexing. (Optional: You can pass specific paths of the maps to index them, by default all maps will be indexed|| For example :https://<Server:port>/bin/guides/map-find/indexing?paths=<path of the MAP in repository>) -
The API will returns a jobId. To check the status of the job, you can send a GET request with job id to the same end point -
http://<server:port>/bin/guides/map-find/indexing?jobId={jobId}(For example:http://localhost:8080/bin/guides/reports/upgrade?jobId=2022/9/15/7/27/7dfa1271-981e-4617-b5a4-c18379f11c42_678) -
Once the job is completed, the previous GET request responds with success. If job fails for some reason then failure can be seen from server logs.
-
Revert back to default or previous existing value of queryLimitReads if you have changed it in step 1.
Steps to handle the 'fmdita rewriter' conflict
Experience Manager Guides has a custom sling rewriter module for handling the links generated in case of cross-maps (links between the topics of two different maps).
If you have another custom sling rewriter in your codebase, use an 'order' value greater than 50, as Experience Manager Guides sling rewriter uses 'order' 50. To override this, you need a value >50. For more details, view Output Rewriting Pipelines.
During this upgrade, since the 'order' value is changed from 1000 to 50, you need to merge the existing custom rewriter, if any, with 'fmdita-rewriter'.
