Regarding Moving page in AEM 6.5

[akshatn]

Hello there I am trying to move page to achieve after a certain period of time I had created scheduler for that but  I am not able to move pages also i tried with workspace and session.move method to move the pages but it is not working kindly help!

[Jörg_Hoh]

You should use the PageManager API for this task, see [1].

It could look like this:

Page pageToMove = ...
String targetPath = ...
String[] references = ...
PageManager = pageToMove.adaptTo(PageManager.class);
PageManager.move (pageToMove.adaptTo(Resource.class),  targetPath, false, true, references);

You should not use the lowlevel of Sling and JCR for that task, because they cannot handle aspects like the MSM and many other specialities.

Another important aspect I left out is the question if references to this page must be adjusted, too. To help you in that task, please consult [2].

@Jörg_Hoh Hi there in continuation with the previous query i tried the same this still i am getting the error

This is my crxde Hierarchy

|-Articles
        |-jcr.content
        |-Article-1
        |      |-root
        |      |-container
        |      |-responsivegrid
        |                    |-rtetext

This is my QueryBuilder Output

-------------------------------------------

/content/.../Articles/Article-3, (crxde, html, json)
/content/.../Articles/Article-5, (crxde, html, json)
/content/.../Articles/Article-2, (crxde, html, json)
/content/.../Articles/Article-4, (crxde, html, json)
/content/.../Articles/Article-1, (crxde, html, json)

Here is my code

---------------------------------------------

               

                Page pageToMove = hit.getResource().adaptTo(Page.class);

                String pagename= pageToMove.getPath().substring(pageToMove.getPath().lastIndexOf("/"));

                String targetPath = "/content/.../Articles/Archived"+pagename;

                String[] references = {"jcr:content", "jcr:content/root"};

                pageManager = pageToMove.adaptTo(PageManager.class);

                pageManager.move (pageToMove,  targetPath, pagename , false, true, references);

And the output for the same is

Please Help!

You must have the path created till/content/.../Articles/Archived and trying to remove page name from target path. e.g.

 String targetPath = "/content/.../Articles/Archived

[akshatn]

@arunpatidar Done! Still getting java.lang.NullPointerException... is there any other modification needed?

[poojac_2204]

I think you are not passing the right paths in the 'references' parameter.

You can also use acs common's MCP Renovator

@poojac_2204 Hi Pooja I tried to include page path as well but that is also not working for me.
