Reverse Replication test works but the agent is unable to poll the publish instance outbox

[Ravi_Teja_Suram]

I have a weird issue where the reverse replication test works once I set up the agent. However, the agent is unable to poll to the publish instance outbox and it throws the following exception

Did anyone face this issue earlier?

Thanks,

By default the "HTTP Method" field in the Extended tab in the reverse replication configuration should set to GET for all the reverse replications but it was empty indicates a POST. Please change to "GET". Attaching a snapshot for quick reference.[img]Replication.png[/img]

I  got the same issue.

We have reverse replication agent set up on author server for publish instance. The configurations include enabling the agent, configuring correct publish server URI, username and password. HTTP Method is set as GET.
When testing the connection from the replication agent on author, it tests successfully.
But it doesn't poll for the publish server's inbox.
On publish instances, the outbox queue is getting created successfully but doesn't empty.

Can I get some help?

Hi Manender,

Can you attach any related log files? Also, Please check for any connectivity issues between the publish and author instances.

Cheers,

Ravi
