Content Traversing - Replicate with Options

Purpose

Replication with Options is a Process steps that will traverse the entire content tree, and process the each dam:Asset, cq:Page or cq:Tag (cq:Tag since version 4.0.0) replicating each node based on the Process Args.

How to Use

Processing the tree in a serial fashion allows for a more controlled workflow execution decreasing the chances of overloading AEM. Setting throttle to true decreases the chances further.

Process Args Options

• replicationActionType
  • Options include ReplicationActionType’s: ACTIVATE or DEACTIVATE or DELETE
• throttle
  • true or false
  • Defaults to false
  • If true, throttles the execution using ACS Commons Throttled Task Runner (part of ACS Commons Fast Action Manager)
• traverseTree
  • true or false
  • Defaults to false
  • If true, walks the entire content tree under the payload looking for the first dam:Asset nodes to process (does not process sub-Assets)
• synchronous
  • true or false
  • Defaults to false
  • Typically best to set to true to ensure the replication queue does not build up.
• suppressStatusUpdate (Since 6.2.0)
  • true or false
  • Defaults to false
  • Typically best to set to false so replication information gets updated.
• suppressVersions
  • true or false
  • Defaults to false
  • Typically best to set to false if version are not required (as their creation is work to be done)
• agents
  • The node name of the agent to target for replication. For example, to target /etc/replication/agents.author/publish-1, provide the agentId of publish-1.
  • Defaults to empty
  • This is a required field
    • Due to a bug, this requires atleast 1 agent to be provided. When this bug is resolved, the documentation will be updated.
