BPA code URS: Unsupported repository structure
When Adobe's Best Practices Analyzer reports URS, it has found unsupported repository structure on your AEM instance. Here is what that means for a move to AEM as a Cloud Service.
What to do
Move /etc content to /conf or /var; the Content Transformer handles many cases.
Step-by-step fix: Moving content out of /etc for AEM as a Cloud Service.
Can it be fixed automatically?
- Yes, often: the Content Transformer in Cloud Acceleration Manager can fix findings of this type and creates a rollback package first.
- In our pipeline, automation for this pattern is rated high: agents prepare the change and an engineer reviews it.
How much work is it?
Our readiness scan plans about 1 hour per finding at MAJOR importance (1.5× for CRITICAL, 0.5× for ADVISORY), plus a small fixed cost, capped at 120 hours for this code. INFO rows are treated as inventory and not costed. These are planning figures, not a quote.
Reading the row in results.csv
Filter the code column for URS. The importance column says how urgent each row is, identifier usually holds the repository path, and message describes the finding. See how to read a BPA report for every column.
