Hi All ,

I have a requirement where i want to programatically activate the pages. I need a program which will parse through the pages and check for "replicated" property. If the property is available the pages should get activated after 30 mins automatically. Can you please please tell me how this can be achieved ??

Awaiting your positive response

Regards

This would need a custom implementation. I would look at using workflows as part of this solution. 

Write code  that iterates through pages using JCR API or QueryBuilder API. The when you find a page that meets you criteria, invoke a workflow (that activates the page) using an API. You can invoke workflows programmatically. See:

You may need to write a custom workflow step as well to perform time operations (if you want to wait 30 mins for example)\. However AEM is very flexable in letting you write custom workflow steps. TO learn how to write a custom workflow step that implements , WorkflowProcess see:

    Can't this be achieved through schedulers? , can you please elaborate on the procedure ..

    The Scheduler is a service that uses a cron expression to schedule other services/jobs. Here is an example [2].

    You could run code that runs on a schedule to check for the replicated property, but depending on how many pages you have and how often the job is run, this could place a load on the system.

    R.K,

    What would be the frequency to look for page property?. And If property found, you want to schedule a page activation event after 30 mins?.

    Thanks all for your valuable responses.

    Basically if replicatedBy property is set , page should get activated after a specific time.

    Use AEM dependency finder to locate POM dependencies you need to reference.
