Programmatically activate pages in batches

Hi 

Option 1:- Using Curl

Activate

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

Option 2:- Use Replicator OSGi service:

//

@Component public class MyComponent { @Reference private Replicator replicator; private void activatePage(Session session) { //... replicator.replicate(session, ReplicationActionType.ACTIVATE, pathToPage); //... } }

I hope this would help you.

Thanks and Regards

@Sh1ju ,

The integration Spring batch framework with AEM is the right solution for dealing with batch processing. This isn't hard to integrate because AEM already has spring stuff.

Java Executer Framework for multithreading implementation also fits in your case.

Let me know if you need more information about integrating Sprint batch with AEM.

Will this code activate these pages in 'batches' ?

@Kunal23,

In my opinion, one cron job/Task would not be able to activate 1k pages. It would be too slow & time consuming process. Without batch process/ multithreading, we can't achieve ideal solution.

Well, page activation is not a resource intensive task as it just queues the pages for activation in replication agent queue. Also, the cron job is going to run in the background as a separate thread and in my opinion is a simple solution to achieve this.
