AEM6 with SP1 repository compacting (TarMK) doesn't work

[Marek_Krokosins]

Hi.

I have installed service pack 1 on fresh AEM6 instance. I also checked if the oak version is correct, and it was 1.0.5, I have deployed my packages few times and repository size growth up to ~9 GB. I tried to fire compacting from the JMX console (/system/console/JMX -> RepositoryManagment) but it didn't compact the repository size. In logs I have information, that compacting has been paused, and probably this is the reason why it didn't worked. I also read that just one time I should fire the offline oak compacting tool, so I did that, and repository size has backed to normal. Once again I deployed my package few times, repository size was again around ~5GB. Once again I tried to fire compacting from JMX, but it didn't helped. What I have in logs:

I also tried to compact data using instructions in http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/deploy/upgrade/microkernels-in-aem-6-0.html

Probably I'm doing something wrong, the question is what is it?

Best Regards.

Please file a daycare ticket.

The only way I have found till now to compact the repository is to turn off the AEM instance and run oak-run. I'm convinced that AEM should be still in beta.

Hi,

    There are some edge cases it can happen, hence requesting to file daycare so that we can investigate and provide solution to meet your timelines. Also we understand the risk & hence to track down need official ticket. 

Thanks,
