How to integrate Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) and SAP Hybris through OOB connector

This post explains the detailed steps for AEM and Hybris integration through OOB connector. AEM comes with default Hybris connector and sample demo site(should be downloaded via package manager), the steps covered in the post is for integrating AEM 6.3 with Hybris 6.1 but the same steps works for other AEM and Hybris versions with minimal changes.

AEM Configuration:

Install JDK 8
Install AEM 6.3 server
Install cq-geometrixx-all-pkg-5.10.68.zip, cq-geometrixx-hybris-content-6.3.2.zip and cq-hybris-content-6.3.2.zip packages from package share (I am considering geo-metrixx for demo, we.retail should be the recommended one in AEM 6.3)


Change the Hybris server version in "Day CQ Commerce Hybris Configuration", ignore to default value if the specified version is not listed.


Change the Hybris OAuth endpoint in "Hybris OAuth Handler" based on the Hybris version, /authorizationserver/oauth/token for Hybirs 6 and later and /rest/oauth/token for earlier Hybris versions   - This step can be ignored for AEM 6.3 as the connectes defaults the values based on the Hybris version selected in the previous step.


If the OAuth URL is not configured with correct value then the below exception will be displayed in error log

com.adobe.cq.commerce.hybris.impl.OAuthHandler Server did not respond with 2xx -> authentication failed.

Hybris configuration:

Install JDK 8(based on the Hybris version, later Hybris 6 versions required JDK 8)
Extract the installer

Execute the below commend

cd <hybris-root-directory>/installer
install -r b2c_acc

Add the below extensions into HYBRIS_HOME/config/localextentions.xml- the hmc is deprecated in later 6 versions so can be ignored

<extension name='admincockpit'></extension>
<extension name='cockpit'></extension>
<extension name='hmc'></extension>
<extension name='platformhmc'></extension>
<extension name='workflow'></extension>
<extension name='processing'></extension>
<extension name='productcockpit'></extension>
<extension name='importcockpit'></extension>
<extension name='classificationsystems'></extension>
<extension name='classificationsystemshmc'></extension>



Download setup.groovy and place it under Hybris root - Refer https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/deploying/using/hybris.html to get the file based on the Hybris version.

Change the spring-security path in setup.groovy to "bin/ext-template/ycommercewebservices/web/webroot/WEB-INF/config/common/security-spring.xml" - this step is required only for later 6 Hybris versions

Execute the below commands - the groovy should be installed in the system before executing the below commands

cd ..
groovy setup.groovy
cd bin/platform
setantenv
ant clean all - Select the default configuration template(development)
hybrisserver (starting the server)


The above step will take some time, after completion Login to https://localhost:9002 and click on initialize and wait for initialize to complete



Download  geometrixx-outdoors-export.csv, geometrixx-outdoors-images.zip  and  base-store.csv(based on the Hybris version) from https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/deploying/using/hybris.html

Import geometrixx-outdoors-export.csv and geometrixx-outdoors-images.zip:

Login to https://localhost:9002/hmc/hybris and navigate to System==>Tools==>Import


Select import file geometrixx-outdoors-export in Configuration tab
Select the Locale Setting as en_English




Select geometrixx-outdoors-images in Resources tab


Click on Start - wait for completion of the import job

Import base-store.csv:

Follow the above steps and import base-store.csv



Verify the product - Login to https://localhost:9002/productcockpit and make sure the sample products are imported without any issue

Define OAuth Clients in Hybris:

Login to https://localhost:9002/backoffice and navigate to System==>OAuth==> OAuth Clients and define mobile_android and trusted_client with the following configurations



OAuth Client ID -  mobile_android
Client secret -  secret
OAuth resource IDs - hybris
scope - basic
Client Grant Types - authorization_code,refresh_token,password,client_credentials
Authorities - ROLE_CLIENT






OAuth Client ID -  trusted_client
Client secret -  secret
OAuth resource IDs - hybris
scope - extended
Client Grant Types - authorization_code,refresh_token,password,client_credentials
Authorities - ROLE_TRUSTED_CLIENT



If the OAuth client are not configured properly then the below exception will be displayed in AEM error log while accessing the services

com.adobe.cq.commerce.hybris.impl.OAuthHandler Server did not respond with 2xx -> authentication failed.

Set the stock level for a product:

By default all the products will have the stock level defined as 0, for demo purpose i am change the stock level of one product

Login to https://localhost:9002/ and navigate to console Impex Import
Execute the below script

$productCatalog=outdoors

$catalogVersion=catalogversion(catalog(id[default=$productCatalog]),version[default=’Staged’])[unique=true,default=$productCatalog:Staged]

INSERT_UPDATE StockLevel;productCode[unique=true];warehouse(code)[unique=true,default=default];available;inStockStatus(code);maxPreOrder[default=1];maxStockLevelHistoryCount[default=-1];overSelling[default=0];preOrder[default=0];reserved[default=0]

;023984-S;geometrixx01;100;forceInStock

Add the name and description for missing delivery modes:

By default the name and description is missing for some of the delivery modes in Hybris, this will create problem while checking out the order.

Caused by: org.apache.sling.commons.json.JSONException: JSONObject["name"] not found.

at com.adobe.cq.commerce.hybris.importer.DefaultResponseParser.parseDeliveryMode(DefaultResponseParser.java:1329)

To fix the issue add some dummy name and description for delivery modes.

Login to https://localhost:9002/backoffice/ and Navigate to Price Settings ==> Delivery Costs


Add the Name and description for missing delivery modes


Now the e-Store can be accessed via http://localhost:4503/content/geometrixx-outdoors/en_US.html
