BPA code WRK: Custom asset workflow models and launchers
When Adobe's Best Practices Analyzer reports WRK, it has found custom asset workflow models and launchers on your AEM instance. Here is what that means for a move to AEM as a Cloud Service.
What to do
Move to asset microservices processing profiles and post-processing workflows.
Step-by-step fix: DAM Update Asset workflow customisations and asset microservices.
Can it be fixed automatically?
- Not by Adobe's Content Transformer, which only handles content findings (ACV, CAV, DOPI, OAUI, PCX, REP and URS).
- In our pipeline, automation for this pattern is rated low: this needs design work or a product decision first.
How much work is it?
Our readiness scan plans about 6 hours per finding at MAJOR importance (1.5× for CRITICAL, 0.5× for ADVISORY), plus a small fixed cost, capped at 160 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 WRK. 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.
