[Dispatcher] - Whenever I publish a page, it triggers the replication of multiple other pages (not directly related) through the user "replication-service"

[fbfr]

Hi,

As said in the title, whenever I publish a page it will trigger the replication of multiple other pages (children pages or not directly related pages) through the user "replication-service". It will overflow the Dispatcher Flush and a huge queueing of all the pages will appear on the publisher instance dispatcher.

All the configuration seems correct on both author and publish dispatcher.

Hi, 

How did you ensure that those pages are not related? Can you reproduce this issue locally, or is it happening in a specific AEM instance/environment?

Hi,

Thanks for your input. I'm saying they are not directly related but they might use the same component. For example, I'm publishing a page in EN language but when I look at the dispatcher queue I can see pages from all the other languages being published. They don't use any XF or CF in common (some might but not all).

It's happening on our DEV environment

Hi @fbfr ,

Multiple things can trigger such behavior : 

1. Any listener which listens to a page replication event and finds relevant pages and publishes them too.

2. If you are on MSM, it could be a roll-out config which can trigger such behavior too. Although you should already see the relation between these pages.

3. Any workflow which is triggered based on a launcher.

Hello @fbfr,

Hope you are doing fine.

Few questions:

- How are you publishing the pages (quick-publish, manage-publish or any custom workflow)?

- Do you have any custom interceptor (like replication preprocessor, listener)?

- How are you ensuring that additional pages are being published? I hope you checked the content being updated on publish.

- Can you please check what workflow instances you see in the workflow dashboard?

With the above detail we will able to investigate more..

Thanks

Hi,
- It's a quick publish

- I'm not sure, we do have the replication-service being the one initiating the replications in the logs
- I'm checking the agents.publish on the publisher instance and the logs. There's no content being updated as the pages weren't modified.

- I don't see any workflows being activated as I publish the page, it seems to come from elsewhere

Hope this helps investigate ! Thanks
