Although you can start your ADEP Experience Server by double-clicking the Quickstart JAR file or the Windows batch file, most people will find it convenient to install the Experience Server as a Windows service. It will configure the Experience Server to start automatically when your Windows restarts and, helps you control the start and stop operations of the Experience server by using the Services control panel.
To install a Windows service for your Experience Server:
instsrv.bat <serviceName> command to install the Experience Server as a Windows service.You can verify the installed Windows service in the Services control panel. To open the Services control panel, execute the start services.msc command from the command line interface or select Start > Administrative Tools > Services.
To start the Windows service, do one of the following:
net start <serviceName> command.To stop or restart the Windows service for the Experience Server, click Stop or Restart, on the Services control panel.
To uninstall the Windows service, execute the instsrv.bat -uninstall <serviceName> command on the command line interface. The Windows service gets removed from the Services control panel.

In the Assets view of the Integrated Content Review solution interface, you can find an asset using either basic or advanced search. You can perform advanced search using search attributes, such as campaign name, manager, state, status, and timeline. Besides these attributes, you can create new search attributes. These custom attributes appear in the advanced search options and search results.
To modify the advanced search parameters, you must update the FML file describing an asset. A few custom attributes for assets are predefined—for example, brand of an asset, asset height, asset width, and so on.
The following steps use a pre-defined, asset-level attribute to modify an asset’s FML file:
Following is an explanation of the properties of the attribute:
For example, the following sample can be used to add a new attribute titled Brand in the advanced search pane.
<property name=”brandName” type=”string”>
<annotation name=”DDS”>
<item name=”displayName”>Brand</item>
<item name=”visible”>true</item>
<item name=”searchable”>true</item>
<item name=”searchPath”>WorkItem.attributes.brand</item>
<item name=”columnOrder”>5</item>
<item name=”basicSearchEnabled”>false</item>
<item name=”extendedPropertyPath”>WorkItem.attributes.brand</item>
<item name=”assetPropertyType”>extended</item>
</annotation>
</property>
An instance of the advanced search pane and the search results, as they appear after this customization, are shown below.

Adobe Customer Experience Solutions help create, manage, and deliver high-impact, personalized interactions that captivate customers and extend brand values across digital channels. Powered by the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform (ADEP), these solutions include rich enterprise applications and friendly user interfaces.
To understand Adobe’s Customer Experience Management philosophy and roadmap, view this great interview by Ben Watson, Adobe’s principal customer experience strategist.
Ben talks about Customer Experience Solutions as being integral to the manage part of Adobe’s becoming a make, manage, and measure brand.
So ultimately, we are becoming the make, manage and measure brand, as I think about it, in the enterprise. While we are probably still best known for ‘make’, in terms of Photoshop, Illustrator – our design tools – Acrobat for making documents, Flash for making multimedia presentations on the web or for delivering and making applications, and delivering an actual interactive application. I would argue that in the web space we are pretty well known from a measuring perspective as well. The acquisition of Omniture a few years has grown into the Adobe Online Marketing Suite, and we have a strong set of tools there around, not just measurement of web activity, but now measurement of social activity analytics that are relative to the communities you might be forming at an enterprise, or also your work that you do with third party communities, like the major social networks, etc.
Here in the middle are these set of technologies that I am focused on which are ultimately the management. By management I mean web content management, business process management and rolling all of this up under the umbrella of customer experience management.
