To start an AEM instance in debug mode automatically, without manually providing JVM parameters each time, a developer can add the required JVM parameters to the AEM instance's start script. This script is executed every time the AEM instance is started, and by including the debug parameters there, the instance will automatically start in debug mode each time. The start script is typically namedstart.bat(for Windows) orstart.sh(for Unix-based systems) and is located in the AEM installation directory.

• Adding JVM parameters to a properties file under a run mode-specific directory (Option A) or setting an OSGi configuration (Option B) are not standard methods for configuring JVM debug parameters for AEM startup.

In AEM, when you need to extend a dialog from a core component but want to hide or exclude one tab or part of the dialog, you can use thesling:hideResourceproperty. This property allows you to selectively hide resources (like a tab in a dialog) inherited from a super type (the core component) in your overlay or custom component.

When customizing a core component in AEM, setting thesling:resourceSuperTypeproperty in the new component's definition allows it to inherit features from an existing core component. This property points to the resource type of the core component that is being extended or customized. By doing so, the new component inherits the core component's logic and rendering scripts but can be customized further according to project-specific requirements.

• Option A,sling:resourceType, is used to define the primary resource type for a component and does not indicate inheritance.
• Option B,jcr:title, is used to give a human-readable title to a node in the JCR and is unrelated to component inheritance.

When working with custom workflow steps in AEM, metadata associated with the workflow session can be programmatically accessed and manipulated. TheMetaDataMapobject serves as a container for this data. The correct way to access and modify this metadata in Java would be:

Option C,MetaDataMap wfd = WorkItem.getWorkflow().getWorkflowData().getMetaDataMap(); wfd.put("mykey", "My Step Value");This snippet correctly retrieves theMetaDataMapfrom theWorkflowDataof the currentWorkflowsession. It then uses theputmethod to store a new key-value pair, where "mykey" is the key and "My Step Value" is the value to be saved.

Options A and B do not properly chain the method calls to access theMetaDataMapassociated with the current workflow session and are therefore incorrect.

In the context of AEM as a Cloud Service, a "Golden Master" typically refers to the production-ready, main branch within the Cloud Manager Git Repository. This repository is used to manage and deploy code to AEM Cloud Service environments. It is considered the source of truth for the codebase that is used to build, test, and deploy AEM applications in the cloud.

The "Multi Resource Support" property is used in custom workflow models in AEM to allow a single workflow instance to handle multiple resources, such as assets or pages. When this property is set to true, if multiple assets or pages are selected and theworkflow is initiated, AEM will start only one workflow instance instead of individual instances for each item. This is useful for bulk processing of resources, improving efficiency, and managing workflows better.

• Option B, "Multi Resource Enable," is not a standard AEM workflow property.
• Option C, "Transient Workflow," refers to workflows that do not persist their data and are not related to handling multiple resources in a single instance.

When it comes to rendering the content of an Experience Fragment for third-party applications to access directly via a URL, and in a browser-friendly format, thetextselector is used. This selector causes AEM to render the Experience Fragment as plain text, which is typically what a third-party application would require if it needs to consume the content directly without any associated styling or scripts.

• Option B,noCss, is not a standard selector for this purpose.
• Option C,plain, is not the correct selector for rendering Experience Fragment content in AEM. Theplainselector might suggest a text/plain MIME type, but in AEM, the correct selector for retrieving the text content of an Experience Fragment istext.

In Maven, themaven-clean-pluginis used to clean the project by removing files generated at build-time in thetargetdirectory. Before a new build, cleaning the project is a common practice to ensure that no stale artifacts affect the new build. The plugin's goalcleanis bound to the clean phase of the build lifecycle and can be executed with the commandmvn clean.

• Option A,mvn-clean-plugin, is incorrectly named; the correct name ismaven-clean-plugin.
• Option B,maven-scr-plugin, is related to Service Component Runtime and not to cleaning build artifacts.

To create new content fragments programmatically in AEM, a developer would typically use an API provided by AEM for content fragment operations. Among the options given,FragmentTemplate.createFragment()seems to be the most fitting API method call, as it implies the use of a template to create a fragment. In practice, the Content Fragment Java API provides methods to create and manage content fragments in AEM by interacting with the underlying JCR (Java Content Repository). However, without specific API documentation, I'm relying on provided patterns that align with typical AEM Java API usage.

When creating a custom query in AEM's JCR (Java Content Repository), the query's performance is highly dependent on the indexing configuration. For the given query that selects all nodes with a 'status' property equal to 'STARTED' from the 'nt:base' node type, the index must be set up correctly:

Option A, "nt:base index rule", is correct. The index rule for 'nt:base' must be added to define which properties of nodes of this type are indexed.

Option D, "status property with propertyIndex = true", is also correct. This index ensures that queries filtering on the 'status' property are executed efficiently. The property index should be set to true, which means that this property is indexed and the query will use this index to filter the results.

Option B is incorrect because setting the property index to false would mean that the property is not indexed, making the query less efficient since the repository would need to scan each node to find matches.

Option C, "nt:base aggregate", is not mandatory. Aggregates are used to include properties of related nodes in the index, but they are not required for a simple property match like the one in the given query.

In AEM, the Sightly/HTL scripting language is used to develop robust and secure components. To render content conditionally based on the WCM (Web Content Management) mode, thewcmmodeobject is used. The correct property to check if the current mode is edit iswcmmode.edit. The HTL syntax for testing a condition isdata-sly-testfollowed by the condition in${}. The option B correctly uses this syntax to test if the WCM mode is edit, and if so, renders "Hello World".

• Option A useswcm.editwhich is not the correct object property.
• Option C useswcmmode editorwhich is not the correct property and the syntax has a typo (should bedata-sly-test).

AEM service pack release notes typically include information that helps users understand the changes that the service pack will bring to their AEM instance. These release notes commonly include:

A. Deprecated features - This section informs users about the features that are being deprecated with the current release and guides them on migrating away from deprecated features to the recommended alternatives.

B. Known issues - This section provides information about any issues or bugs that are known at the time of the release, which might not yet be fixed. It often includes workarounds for these issues if they are available.

• Option C, "Next service pack release date," is not typically included because release dates are subject to change and are usually communicated through official channels closer to the actual release.
• Option D, "Download link to AEM jar," is not included in the release notes but is typically available through the Adobe Software Distribution site or Cloud Manager for AEM as a Cloud Service.
