I'm deploying latest weekend project to cloud, deployment fails for dispatcher with :

If you are deploying the local version of dispatcher it will not work because of missing symlink

Thank you Arun,

Not sure what you mean by local dispatcher, I pull wknd code from git and push it to Cloud instance for deployment.

Hello @nbg62 

The AEMaaCS dispatcher follows structure similar to aem-project-archetype/src/main/archetype/dispatcher.cloud at develop · adobe/aem-project-archetype (...

• each enabled_vhost is symlink to available_vhost
• each enabled_farms is symlink to available_farms

Please check following:

- Are the files created under enabled_vhost & enabled_farms  symlinks?

- If not, either you can create symlinks or add  opt-in/USE_SOURCES_DIRECTLY to use Flexible mode of dispatcher

Details about flexible and legacy mode are available on : https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/conten...
