Bash Script to get all AEM Assets which are not related to a page or are unused.

unrefAemAssets

The Bash Script will help you to get all AEM Assets which are not related to a page.

This can be helpfull to delete images you dont need or just for other debugging purposes.

The outcome will be

• unrelatedassets.txt -> Full path of all images as text file
• unrelatedassets.html -> HTML File with a direct link to the asset

Based on https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager-assets/query-for-most-used-dam-assets-in-content/qaq-p/320629.

Alternatives

https://github.com/hashimkhan786/aem-groovy-scripts/blob/master/findUnusedAssets.groovy

Its a groovy based solution. I compared the outcome to my script, but it gave some assets as "unrelated" even though a relation was present. To make it work you need to install. https://github.com/icfnext/aem-groovy-console

Before usage

I am a REALLY BAD Coder (but a much better Architect), so please be nice to me. I know that there are much nicer ways to approach this problem, but it works and i had lack of time. :)

If there is anybody out there who wants to make the script nice, be my guest.

Requirements

I tried this on my mac, so maybe some changes need to be done in order to make it work on Windows etc.

You need to install jq, php and sed

• jq: http://macappstore.org/jq/
• sed: http://gridlab-d.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Mac_OSX/Gsed

Before running the script

Edit the first lines of the script:

• aemurl="http://localhost:4502" -> Path to your AEM Instance
• aemcontentpath="/content/dam/weretail" -> DAM Root Path
• aemusername="admin" -> Admin User Name
• aempassword="admin"-> Admin Password

Running the Script

Clone the repo, cd into the folder and run

bash AEM_get_unreferenced_images.sh
