Dedicated Replication Agent for DAM renditions

[vincenzos376766]

I want to create a dedicate agent on author instance used only for DAM activities.

This agent must be replicate only renditions. Is it possible?

Hi,

You would need to investigate a few topics before coming up with a solutions.

There is a use case whereby you control what content is processed by a replication agent[0]. This is based on permissions, so you could have a specific replication agent user that only has permission to replicate "/content/dam"

Once you have this agent, you could build your own content builder[1] that only includes renditions. However, what about other DAM content, how will that be replicated?

Your use requirement seems very complicated and will require a lot of work, can you explain your use case?

Hi 

Adding to Opkar's Informative comment,

Please have a look at this community article:

Link:- http://aemfaq.blogspot.in/2013/05/how-to-configure-replication-agent-to.html

// Here how to configure replication agent to target site specific content

Scenario 

    Assume you have one author instance namely author and two publish instances namely publish1 & publish2.  The contents activated for site "/content/geometrixx/en" should get replicated only to publish1 and     similarly contents activated for site "/content/geometrixx/de" should get replicated only to publish2. 

Solution

You need to follow three simple steps mentioned below for each site. 
    Create an user.
    Assign permissions for user created at step1 to read site specific content that will be activated.
    Configure replication agent and in the replication agent for "Agent User Id" assign userid created in step1.

On the same line, you could have a specific replication agent user that only has permission to replicate "/content/dam". 

An excellent article for your reference :- http://www.nateyolles.com/blog/2016/01/aem-akamai-custom-replication-agent

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

The requirement is that publish instance have only renditions (disk space costs) and deploy a dedicated author instances to create e publish rendition to the "main-author".

The flow shoud be (support we have a geometrixx site):

DAM instance create renditions

DAM instance replicate rendition to author geometrixx instance

Users can add images to their pages and replicate to publish geometrixx instance
