Hi,

We have author instance and publish instance installed in different machines (author in UAT server and Publish in production server).

How i need to configure the replication agent so that i can publish the content from author to publish Environment. Or do i need to install author and publish instances in the same server? Please let me how to do.

Thanks

    Hi !
    You definately don't need to have the author and the publish instance on the same server. Within the author, you simply browse to the replication settings. There you will find settings for the publish instance (http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/publish.html) 
    The default setting for the publish server is http://localhost:4503/ and this is what you want to change. Once you set this to the correct ip your author will then find the server it should publish to.  There is more at this page (http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/deploying/replication.html).
    In there you will also find how you will set the reverse replication from the publisher back to the author.

    Good Luck

      Hi Ojjis,

      I have an automation script that starts aem instance and runs test on them. I want to change the default publish server. Can this be done through script?

      Thanks
