In the current setup; we are trying to automate the process of creating the blueprint page, rolling it out to its live copies; and activating the live copy pages.Also; deactivation and deletion of pages is also done programmatically . All this is done via code using the com.day.cq.wcm.api.msm and com.day.cq.replication api.
The problem we are facing right now is after deleting the blueprint and live copy pages programmatically ; if we again create the same page programmatically ; then; there comes an option of 'No Action' ; rather than 'Create' while rolling out the page; which means that the live copy has been detached. What we want to do is that while deleting the pages; we want to delete the history associated with the relationship ; so that next time the same page is created; it would get rolled out to the live copy branch.
We tried the cancelRelationship and endRelationship(mentioned in the docs that it deletes the history https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/day/cq/wcm/msm/api/LiveRelationshipManager.html#endRelationship ) but it does not deletes the history.
This is because every time the page is activated; a version is created. How can we programmatically delete the revision/version of the page? There is an option to create revision https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/javadoc/com/day/cq/wcm/api/PageManager.html#createRevision but no option to delete the created revisions.
Should we try to remove the version nodes which get created at /var/audit/com.day.cq.replication ?
