AEM : Create Live Copy Programmatically by AEM Solutions

Abstract

Usually, we create a live copy from a blueprint or a master site, by going to console and use the “Create Live Copy” or “Create Site” options. But there might be scenarios where you need to automate the creation of sites.

Solution to this is to call the WCMCommand Servlet using Sling Request Processor as there is no API present which can be used directly.

You can either create a service / util to use this piece of code.
