Multi assets replication Event

[adivj95]

Hi Community

I have a requirement where when i select multiple assets and publish them , once all images got published i need to hit and external api and update the DB

So how can i check if all selected assets published and get list of the assets ??

Please help

@adivj95 - I would suggest using a custom workflow which would:

• In process step1: Replicate the selected assets selected. Replication can be done using Replication API and you can specify replication options to do synchronous replication (to ensure the assets are not stuck in queue)
  

  ReplicationOptions options = new ReplicationOptions();
  options.setSynchronous(true);
  replicator.replicate(resourceResolver.adaptTo(Session.class), actionType, paths[], options);​

• In process step2: Hit the external API and update the DB

Hope this helps!

@adivj95 You can check this example replication event handler to run , it will look for Replication event. You have more control on adding logic to call the external API and send the list of assets. Please check it out.

Once you publish the asset, you can probably trigger a job, which will:

• Check the replication status of the queue
  • If queue is not empty, check the status after few minutes.
  • If the queue is empty, send the update request to DB

To check the status of the queue you can use following API:

• AgentManager will give you access to replication agent. Sample code to get Agentmanager

AgentManager -> Agents (getAgents()) -> ReplicationQueue (getQueue()) -> getStatus()
