[vijaykandpal2]

Hi Team,

I created a custom index for an AEM as a cloud environment. deployment is successful.

But in deployment logs, I am getting the following error log.

Can someone please help with what I am missing?

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Parent node at path [/oak:index] not found while adding new index definition for [/oak:index/acme.xxxxxxxxx-custom-1]. Intermediate paths node must exist for new index nodes to be created

The index definition is:

@vijaykandpal2 

If the deployment is done in DEV cloud service instance, can you cross check if the custom index definition exist via CRXDE and the concern is only on the error in the logs (as you have mentioned the deployment is successful)

Can you confirm on the below

• index definition is included in ui.apps module at \ui.apps\src\main\content\jcr_root\_oak_index\.content.xml
  • and an entry in filter.xml as /oak:index/acme.xxx.custom-1
• if you have below in ui.apps module's pom.xml -> filevault-package-maven-plugin -> properties
  • <noIntermediateSaves>true</noIntermediateSaves>
