How to Automate AEM Offline Revision Cleanup
Dear AEM Community,
I'd like to share my recently published article exploring how to transform the critical but tedious process of AEM Offline Revision Cleanup into an automated, one-command operation.
Introduction
AEM's Oak repository eventually suffers from performance issues as unused data accumulates. My article presents a Bash script that transforms the tedious manual cleanup process into a single-command operation with built-in safety checks. This automation approach not only saves time but also reduces human error risk during critical maintenance operations.
Key Points
- A powerful Bash script that automates AEM Offline Revision Cleanup with built-in safety checks.
- More than just a wrapper for oak-run.jar—it includes pre-flight checks, path validation, interactive prompts, and atomic operations.
- Features robust argument parsing, a streamlined Oak command engine, and safeguards to prevent data corruption.
- Covers advanced customizations like monitoring, alerting, and dynamic retries for enterprise use.
- Turns ORC from a tedious manual task into a scalable, low-risk automation advantage.
