Activate only active pages but not modified pages

[Ronny_Fallas]

Hi, another tricky one, under /etc/replication/treeactivation.html you can activate filtering by only modified and only activated and ignoring deactivated pages, is there a way (using curl) to activate only active pages but ignoring modified pages?

[edubey]

Hi, you can use

curl -u admin:admin -F cmd=activate -F ignoredeactivated=true -F onlymodified=false

-F path=/content/project http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/treeactivation.html

[Ronny_Fallas]

Thanks, but onlymodified=false includes both modified and non-modified pages.

[edubey]

Did you tried executing it?

[Ronny_Fallas]

Yes, what I would need is a ignoremodified option, but it doesn't seem to exist, in order to do a reactivate=true and ignoremodified=true.

Hi Ronny, I dont think there is an option for 'ignoremodified'

however, I didnt exactly get your usecase. what do you mean by 'to activate only active pages but ignoring modified pages'

do you mean ignoring modified pages which are already activated and activate only the new activated pages ??

[Ronny_Fallas]

Thanks for the commands, but there is no indeed option to ignore modified pages, at least from the standard tree activation options.

This is the case:

There is a backup instance where we need to move content only when the release is approved in production and everything is working as expected.

We cannot move them via packages, because of a previous issue where doing in that way, previously deactivated pages were activated again. So, we switched to tree activation, where you have the option to do a replication ignoring deactivated pages, the downside, is that the tree activation bypasses the approval workflow, which is completely undesired.

Then, now I need a way to activate (that is, replicate in the end) only active pages that are not modified (that is, page updates that are pending to be approved).

If you want to move content from production instance to backup instance then why not create and copy packages separately for author and publish instance. You can create 2 packages one on Prod author and one on Prod publish and move them over to backup author and publish respectively. With this approach you don't need to activate any pages after the package install operation.

Hi Ronny Fallas

Please look at the cURL commends mentioned.

                                        

Activate
	curl -u admin:admin -X POST -F path="/content/path/to/page" -F cmd="activate" http://localhost:4502/bin/replicate.json
	Deactivate
	curl -u admin:admin -X POST -F path="/content/path/to/page" -F cmd="deactivate" http://localhost:4502/bin/replicate.json
	Tree Activation
	curl -u admin:admin -F cmd=activate -F ignoredeactivated=true -F onlymodified=true
	-F path=/content/geometrixx http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/treeactivation.html

For Full set of commands please have a look at the link: - https://gist.github.com/sergeimuller/2916697

I hope this would help you.
