Ranking publisher instances

[GK-AEM]

Hi All,

My author is set-up with four publisher instances,can i designate any publisher instance which has to be preferred first among the four instances.

Please advise me.

Thanks,

Kishore

Can you please explain your use-case that under what circumstances would you need such preference in selection of Publisher?

To give further details on this,is there any way by default all the replicated content will have reached to that publisher instance and once it's not available it has to go to other publisher instance.

Well you will need to write a custom activation workflow in that case. You can do selective replication in your workflow.

There was similar question asked in community, kindly refer - http://help-forums.adobe.com/content/adobeforums/en/experience-manager-forum/adobe-experience-manage...

in arguments you can configure the agent id.

To learn how to do selective replication refer to following article - https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/CQ5ReplicateToSpecificAgents.html

You can use replication agent polling mechanism to identify whether the publisher is responding or not.http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/publish.test.html

or

you can replicate to desired agent first and look for TransportException if you get such exception then simply replicate to another agent.

Hope it helps.
