Delete Asset From DAM

[#1]

Hi,

     I've one functionality to delete an asset from DAM Path from Publish server (publish 1).  The issue I'm facing is through web portal I'm trying to delete one file which will delete the file from DAM path for say publish 1. But when i try to connect to another server say publish 2 or 3 or 4 I'm able to see the same file in other server .

Now I've  doubt that will the content be deleted in author side ( i see the file is not getting deleted ) and after that the same node will be deleted from other publish servers(publish 2, publish 3 and publish 4) ? Means Replication (forward and reverse) will work for delete operation ?

Is there any possible way how we can take forward and how it can be handled?

Thanks,

Nandhini

Just deleting the asset on publish will not delete asset on author, you should have reverse replication in place. Check the event type in the launcher which launches reverse replication. If it is set to modified then you should create new one for  handling the delete asset and choose event type "removed".

Hope this helps!

Moving this question to AEM Assets.
