How to do tree activation in AEM as a Cloud Service?

[cprogramkarthick]

I want to do a tree activation of pages under a certain /content path.

But one requirement is that I want to be able to exclude pages that has a certain text in the page name and publish all the remaining pages. For example, if a page's name contains the text 'archive', i don't want to publish those. 

Example (node names or page names):

archive1 -> Skip this page

test-archive -> Skip this page

archive -> Skip this page

test -> Publish this page

Do we need to customize the Publish content tree workflow to achieve it? Also, is this achievable in AEM as a Cloud Service?

Hi,

You can try building a package using JAVA API where you can exclude pages based on search and then replicate the package.

Hello @cprogramkarthick 

ACS AEM commons has a utility to create packages based on a query

We can create package on author and then replicate the package to publish.

Hi @cprogramkarthick  You can leverage the write up where the custom logic is created based on the path under which the pages needs to be published.

As the  AssetReferenceSearch is also used within the logic explained you would be able to repliacted the referenced assets as well. In addition to that within the servlet you can add the logic to skip the pages based on the regex created.

Hope this helps!

Thanks
