How to Automate AEM Offline Revision Cleanup
by @giuseppebag
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.
