Invoke Replication Agent Using http request

[#1]

Hi,

I have custom replication agent with transport handler to invoke some REST API.

From AEM when I Activate/Deactivate any page - things work well.

Issue:

I want to invoke the replication agent/transport handler on author instance from a HTTP request from postman. is that possible?

My goal is to perform a performance run with that HTTP request.

Different trails made:

http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/solragent.test.html  -> this would only work on GET and only path is /content

http://localhost:4502/bin/replication.json -> 403 Forbidden

We are using AEM 6.3

Is this possible?

Any pointers would greatly help.

Disable all other replication agents, enable only your custom agent and either use the curl command or Post man with below options.

curl -u admin:admin -X POST -F path="/content/path/to/page" -F cmd="activate" http://localhost:4502/bin/replicate.json

Hi,

That is still giving Authentication failure issue. Though admin/admin is the correct credentials to be used.

[#4]

Have you setup basic authentication itself in the authentication tab. After setting that one, it worked for me

[#5]

yes I did set it up.

I had to make 2 changes oin osgi

1. disable csrf for post request

2. Apache Sling Referrer Filter

Once I did these 2 then it started working. Did you make these changes?

But the other most important problem. Even though I am getting 200, the replication agent- Transport handler is not getting invoked.

What am I missing?

I have the replication agent upo and working

Bundle for Transport handler is there.

Path and cmd params are passed.

I am getting 200

Is there any other URI I need to hit?

I was able to do without doing both the changes, I am using vanilla 6.4

Strange, I am getting a proper replication request on the default agent in author for each request in postman

http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/publish.log.html#end

Are you trying to invoke a custom replication agent ?
