Setting up the Connector for Aprimo DAM

The setup process for the Tridion Connector for Aprimo DAM includes adding the Connector itself to your Tridion implementation as well as a few additional steps to enable the integration.

Before you begin

Before beginning the Connector setup process, be sure you have the following:

  • Access to an Aprimo DAM cloud instance (version 1 of the REST API is supported)
  • Connector Add-on package provided by SDL Customer Support
  • SDL Tridion Sites 9.1 or later, installed and fully operational
  • If using SDL Tridion Sites 9.1, the following hotfixes are been applied:
    • CM_9.1.0.16685
    • ECL_9.1.0.18607
  • The NET Core Runtime version 3.1 is installed on the host machine of the Content Service and on all Content Manager server machines where the connector will be used. Download the .NET Core Runtime for either Windows or Linux from the following location: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1

About this task

This topic describes the general process for setting up the Tridion Connector for Aprimo DAM . For full details on individual steps, refer to the related topics.

Procedure

  1. In the OAuth user interface, set up OAuth authorization for Aprimo DAM.
    For details, refer to the related topic on OAuth setup.
    The client ID and user token produced in these steps will be needed in a subsequent step for configuring the Connector.
  2. Upload the Connector for Aprimo DAM ZIP package to the Add-ons Service.
  3. Create a JSON configuration that includes appropriate settings for this Connector and your environment. In particular, be sure of the following:
    • The 'sitesCm' property is set to true.
    • The configuration defines the TCM-URI of the stub folder.
  4. Upload the Connector's JSON configuration file to the Add-ons Service.
  5. If using the Connector with the Tridion Content Delivery, do the following to complete and verify the Connector setup:
    1. Restart the Content Service.
      The Content Service should automatically pick up the Connector package and configuration from the Add-ons Service and deploy the Connector.
    2. Open the GraphQL console at [Content Service URL]/cd/api/graphiql and verify the presence of appropriate GraphQL types for this Connector.

Results

After successfully deploying the Connector for Aprimo DAM to the Content Manager and refreshing a Publication that has been associated with the Connector (using the stubs folder TCM-URI), Aprimo will appear as a mount point.
