Hi Dear Community,
We're in the process of setting up reverse replication ( Pub to Auth). We have a single author instance publishing to 2 publisher agents.
We're failing to enable the outbox agent on publisher instance the "view Log" only results in "no such agent: outbox". We're using AEM version 6.1.0.20150507.
Could you guys point to any configuration steps we're overlooking.
Best,
John M
Hi,
as JK asked, what is the use case for using Reverse Replication? Previously it was used for synching of Users and User Generated Content.
We now do not support reverse replication of UGC, instead you should use xSRP( requires AEM Communities licence). For users and groups you should use Sling Content Distribution (SCD), which as a part of Sling requires no licence above your AEM licence.
So essentially the only use case left for reverse replication is for cq:page nodes. So if you do have a valid use case, from the documentation, reverse replication is a two step process:
As the publish environment is usually in the DMZ, to get content back to the author environment the connection must be initiated from the author instance. This is done with:
So you have to enable two agents. But the docs do not give complete details on the setup, as you also need to get content into the reverse replication outbox on the publish instance. You could do this by using a launcher that listens for events relating to pages and adds them to the agent, this would be the better approach as you would not want to use on modification as you could end up in a an infinite loop. You also need to handle pushing content out from the author instance back to the publish instances. So there is a lot of work involved to get reverse replication working, so again it comes down to what is your use case?

With reverse replication agent enabled and active. I am now stuck at any new page creation or comment on the publisher instance is not going to outbox and the reverse replication agent configured in the author instance always results in "Fetched 0 contents no matter what. Is there any other way to verify reverse replication
Is licensing AEM Communities an option?
There is a mechanism where pages (community groups) created on publish are actually created on author and then replicated to publish. User generated content (like comments) is created in a common store and never replicated. See What Happens When ...
