Purge Versions for DAM content error

[boser87]

Hi,

I am trying to perform versions purge for DAM content with Purge Versions tool OOTB from AEM but I have the following exception. It seems that there are versions for a certain node, but this node is not versionable. The issue here is that when the exception occurs for a certain node, all the other version nodes in the recursion list are skipped... Do you know how can I fix this and perform an efficient versions purge for DAM content?

I am currently running AEM 6.0 + SP3.

Thank you.

Hi 

A VersionException is thrown or if a child item of this node has an OnParentVersion status of ABORT. This includes the case where an unresolved merge failure exists on this node, as indicated by the presence of the jcr:mergeFailed property.

OR

The checked-out state indicates to the repository and other clients that the latest version of N is “being worked on” and will typically be checked-in again at some point in the future, thus creating a new version.

On checkout of a node N:

• If N is not versionable, an UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException is thrown

I hope this would help. I will try to find some solution for the same.

Thanks and Regards

The question is: how do I purge versions of DAM content?

[smacdonald2008 · Accepted solution]

I have tried purging DAM Assets using the tool.

First - i created a few versions of the same asset for testing purposes.

As you can see - there are different versions of the asset named banner-mono.png.

I have used the tool to purge assets. Make sure you setup the tool properly:

I was not able to reproduce your exceptions. 

Can you post a screenshot of the tool. I want to figure out why you are getting exceptions.
