Repoinit configuration for Property set on AEM as cloud service

[pradeepmoolemane]

Hello,

I am trying to add property sling:configRef to a root page property through RepoInit Script in OSGI config. We are using AEM as cloud service and below is RepoInit script

RepoInit Script:

**********************************************************************

set properties on /content/myproject/us/jcr:content
    set sling:configRef{String} to /conf/myprojectconfi
end

**********************************************************************

But with this above code, getting below error:

and there is way to create /content/myproject/jcr:content using script:

create path /content/myproject/jcr:content

Will this create jcr:content node on every deployment on AEM as CS environment ?

Have you created as json.cfg file? Also, json.cfg does not support multi line script so please try to move it to single line and check.

@pradeepmoolemane - Please follow the below steps to create a repoinit script in AEMaaCS:

1. Create a script within ui.config module of the maven project
   e.g. /ui.config/src/main/content/jcr_root/apps/<myproject>/osgiconfig/config/org.apache.sling.jcr.repoinit.RepositoryInitializer~<myproject>.cfg.json
2. Within this script add below to create paths and set properties:
   

   {
       "scripts": [
           "create path (cq:Page) /content/<myproject>",
           "create path (cq:PageContent) /content/<myproject>/jcr:content",
           "create path (cq:Page) /content/<myproject>/us",
           "create path (cq:PageContent) /content/<myproject>/us/jcr:content",
           "set properties on /content/<myproject>/us/jcr:content\n  set sling:configRef{String} to /conf/myprojectconfig\nend",
       ]
   }

3. The script will create the paths only if they are not existing which means that for re-deployment they won't be recreated again and again.

This script can further be optimized and more details can be found here: https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/repository-initialization.html
