Integrating the Connector with Adobe Experience Manager Workflows

1: Installing the Optional Workflow Package

1.1: Customizing the Standard Translation Workflow

2: Viewing the Rollout Workflow
3: Viewing the Restore Original Sync Workflow

This section is optional. The core Connector workflow package includes the CTCRestoreOriginalSync and CTCRolloutTranslation workflows. If you want to use the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow, you install the optional workflow package.

Workflow	Description
CTCRestoreOriginalSync	If the Leave component unlock after putting back translated content is specified, you can run this workflow to lock components and restore their original inheritance. This workflow does not require installation or customization. For a description of this workflow, see Viewing the Restore Original Sync Workflow.
CTCRolloutTranslation	This is the sample workflow for sending out files for translation when you roll out files. If you use this method to set up the rollout integration with the Connector, you include this workflow in your own rollout configuration. This workflow does not require installation or customization. For a description of this workflow, see Viewing the Rollout Workflow. Note: Alternatively, you can use the Catch rollout pages to [Rollout] Queue setting in the Translation Settings section of the Configuration page to set up the rollout integration with the Connector. For details, see Translation Settings. For more information on configuring this feature, see Configuring the Rollout Feature.
Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation	You can use the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow to send a page to the Translation Queue. You can customize this workflow. For instructions on installing this workflow, see Installing the Optional Workflow Package. For instructions on customizing this workflow, see Customizing the Standard Translation Workflow.

1 - Installing the Optional Workflow Package

To install the optional workflow package, so that you can use the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow, do one of the following:
- In the Touch-Optimized UI of Adobe Experience Manager, click Tools in the Adobe Experience Manager rail, and then click Deployment. Then, in the Navigation page, click Packages.
- In the Classic UI of Adobe Experience Manager, scroll down and click Packages in the right pane.
- In your Web browser, navigate to /crx/packmgr/index.jsp on your Adobe Experience Manager instance.
The CRX Package Manager opens.

Click the Content API Sample Workflow package, and follow the on-screen instructions to install it.
After the package is installed, do one of the following to open the AEM WCM page:
- In the Touch-Optimized UI of Adobe Experience Manager, click Tools in the Adobe Experience Manager rail. Then, in the CQ Operations section, click Workflows.
- In the Classic UI of Adobe Experience Manager, click Workflows in the right pane.
- In your Web browser, navigate to /libs/cq/workflow/content/console.html on your Adobe Experience Manager instance.
The workflows you installed are displayed in the page.
To customize a workflow, click to select it, and then right-click and select Edit from the context menu.

Tip: To locate the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow , click the Next Page button .

For instructions on customizing the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow, see Customizing the Standard Translation Workflow.

1.1 - Customizing the Standard Translation Workflow

You can customize the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow, which you can use to send a page to the Translation Queue.

Open the AEM WCM page, as described on Installing the Optional Workflow Package.
Locate the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow. Click to select it, and then right-click and select Edit from the context menu.

Tip: To locate the Sample_CT_Workflow_Translation workflow , click the Next Page button .

The workflow opens in a new browser tab.

By default, this workflow includes the following two steps, which are required to integrate Adobe Experience Manager with the Connector processes:

Translation setting: This is a participant type of workflow step, where a user must specify some translation settings and can enter comments.
Add page translation: This is a process type of workflow step, where Connector retrieves translation settings from the previous step and adds page translation properties.

Warning: Do not modify these steps, except for the titles. Otherwise the Connector integration with the Adobe Experience Manager workflow may not work properly.

You can add additional steps as needed to meet your company’s business requirements. For detailed instructions on setting up workflows, refer to the Adobe Experience Manager workflow documentation, available at: https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-5/sites/administering/using/workflows-starting.html.

2 - Viewing the Rollout Workflow

You can add the CTCRolloutTranslation workflow to your custom rollout configuration to integrate the Connector with rollout. This is the configuration method to use when you want the Connector to send only some rollout files to the Translation Queue.

Note: Alternatively, you can use the Catch rollout pages to [Rollout] Queue setting in the Translation Settings section of the Configuration page to enable this functionality, as described in Translation Settings. This option is the configuration method to use when you want the Connector to send out all rollout files to the Translation Queue. For more information about configuring this feature, see Configuring the Rollout Feature.

Open the AEM WCM page, as described on Installing the Optional Workflow Package.
Locate the CTCRolloutTranslation workflow. Click to select it, and then right-click and select Edit from the context menu.

The workflow opens in a new browser tab.

By default, this workflow includes the CTC Rollout Translation step, which is required to integrate Adobe Experience Manager with the Connector processes. This is a process type of workflow step, where Connector adds rollout pages to the Translation Queue.

Warning: Do not modify this step, except for the title. Otherwise the Connector integration with the Adobe Experience Manager workflow may not work properly.

3 - Viewing the Restore Original Sync Workflow

You can view the CTCRestoreOriginalSync workflow. After users send out components for translation, they can use this workflow to relock them to restore their original inheritance.

Open the AEM WCM page, as described on Installing the Optional Workflow Package.
Locate the CTCRestoreOriginalSync workflow. Click to select it, and then right-click and select Edit from the context menu.

The workflow opens in a new browser tab.

By default, this workflow includes the Restore original Sync that unlocked by CTC translation step, which is required to integrate Adobe Experience Manager with the Connector processes. This is a process type of workflow step, where Connector relocks components and restores their original inheritance.

Warning: Do not modify this step, except for the title. Otherwise the Connector integration with the Adobe Experience Manager workflow may not work properly.
