rep:policy node not getting activated

[akhilat9657589]

We are working on AEM 6.1 We have a custom job that will get activate a site once it got created in author. On site creation, in our custome job, we are creating some user groups and providing access to that site only for them and then will activate the site. But our replication queue is getting stuck as rep:policy node us not getting activated.

Below is the error we are getting.

Any idea how this can be resolved?

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue. Did anyone know how to resolve this. At page level we have cugs and we see this failure message when we activate the page.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Please check the error.log on the receiving/publish instance. There should be more information about what went wrong.
