Bulk publication/activation

[culver-king]

I am updating metadata via csv import to 2k+ assets. Is there a way via the csv itself to also republish the same assets that have been edited/updated?

You can do this using ACS Commons Bulk Workflow Manager feature: https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/bulk-workflow-manager/index.htm...

You need to write a query in SQL2/XPath to get the list of all the assets that were modified and pass it to this bulk workflow manager and use activation workflow option to publish these assets.

@culver-king if only those 2k assets are modified and no other assets are modified or requirement is to publish all modified assets, you use activation tree available ootb.

Hello @culver-king 

Just adding to the suggestions from @Sudheer_Sundalam 

1. Bulk Workflow manager will require Activation workflow.
   • This means 2000 notifications will be generated in Inbox. To avoid that you can copy the OOTB "Request for activation" workflow and remove participant step
   • The Bulk wokflow manager is not supported on Cloud
2. Query Packager: This should work on cloud as well. You can create a package of modified assets via query. Then replicate the package.
   • This should work on Cloud and AMS as well
