Hi All,

As per my knowledge on Reverse replication functionality has be removed in 6.1. Any alternate way to handle reverse replication. I hope programatic way ie by updating the last modified, last modifed by and cq:distribute true still holds good in 6.1 for reverse replication process.

Any detailed information on this would be helpful.

Thanks,

Sagar Kumar

Here are 6.1 Replication docs:  https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/deploy/configuring/replication.html. It still mentions replucation from pub to author.

Hi Sagar,

reverse replication has not been removed in AEM 6.1 as shown in the links from Kautuk, what you may have read and be referring to is that reverse replication is no longer supported for the specific use case of User Generated Content (UGC), in this case the approach supported is to use the AEM Communities common store (xSRP).

The other use case for reverse replication was for synchronising users across publish instances in a TarMK farm, which was done via reverse replication. In this case, the recommended approach is to use Sling Content Distribution, here the users are synched with the author acting as a co-ordinator, the user accounts are never actually created on the author, the content merely passes through the author instance and onto the other publish instances in the farm.

Opkar is correct.

The documentation available for AEM 6.1 is :

User Synchronization

Community Content Storage : community content is also referred to as UGC;   UGC storage is also referred to as common store and SRP. ;-)

Use of common store requires an AEM Communities license.
