Hi Sumit,

I got the same exception with you, do you find the solution for this?

Thanks.

This is a product bug - this should not be happening - please open a support ticket.

Is there a solution for this yet?

Hi all,

             i have seen the same exception when there is no proper permission are not to create new node in the specified location. I have added everyone group to root folder. It has solved this exception for me.

Thanks & Regards,

Radhakrishna.

Hi Sumit,

We are facing same issue while upgrading 6.1 to 6.3. How did you solve this "Can't create child on a synthetic root" issue. Can you please post the solution here.

Thanks

Hi ,

I am also facing the same issue. Is there a solution available ?

If you are following the offiical AEM Docs here- -

Upgrading to AEM 6.3

And something breaks - this is an issue for customer support. You need to report this so the ENG team can fix it. It should be working as per the AEM product docs.

If you have an access to CRXDe -> package manager try to install SP3: AEM 6.3.3.0 Release Notes

In a case when a package manager is not reachable stop AEM, create .../crx-quickstart/install folder, place SP3 zip into it and start AEM. SP3 will be installed while AEM is starting up.

[subrato_kha]

installing SP3 solves the issue.
