Thanks

There are a few ways to do this.

If you want to activate/deactivate a small number of pages
- Use the on/off time property on individual pages/content. (https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/author/page-authoring/publishing-pages.html#Scheduled%20Activation/Deactivation%20(On/Off%20Time))
If you want to activate/deactivate in bulk
- Write an OSGI service using sling scheduling (https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/scheduler-service-commons-scheduler.html)
- Alternatively you could get creative with workflows and workflow packages to activate. (http://adobeaemclub.com/scheduled-activation-workflows/)

If you need some more help please reply.

Thanks Graham for your reply.

I'm going to implement an OSGI component for this and I have requirement for bulk replication.

I'm going to use replicator.replicate(), but I need to do it in batches so that It does not put load on our publisher.

How can I pass the date/time value programatically before I activate a batch is my question.

Is it possible to invoke 'chedule_activation' workflow with a date/time programatically ?

If this bulk activation is going to happen frequently I suggest that you shy away from workflows due to the overhead that they introduce. I suggest that you set an activation limit, such as 100, and adjust the frequency that the job runs so to best work within your system constraints. With each run you will chip away at the number of items that need to be activated.

What do you think?

Thanks again for sharing your thought.

Yes, I can have two osgi:config property ( one for the number for each batch and timeout value ). Seems that will do :)
