Wanted to deploy Content Fragment extension to Production Workspace

Hello Team,

 

I have an Content Fragment Extension project. Earlier, I have deployed this to Development, Stage and Production workspace. AEM admin has approved the Production workspace. Now the Production workspace status is "Published".

 

Now, I have modified the project logic. When I try to deploy the project(using the command: aio app deploy) to "Production" workspace, getting below mentioend issue.

This application is published and the current workspace is Production, deployment will be skipped. You must first retract this application in Adobe Exchange to deploy updates.

 

Can anyone aware of this process? Where AEM admin can do this step? My team is not aware of this process and where to retract the application. If possible, can someone pass me the snapshot to retract the application process?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @arunpatidar 

     

    AEM admin has revoked the extension project. Now,  I am able to deploy the project to Production Workspace. After that, I am able to see the project in Extension Manager portal. Enabled the app/extension for dev, stage environment. Able to test the feature properly. Note: Still the status of project is: Retract. So, my query is: Now, for what purpose, I need to raise Approval request for Production workspace? Is it necessary to test the extension on AEM prod site?

    Hi @mahesh_gunaje 

     

    • Raising an Approval request is the required step to transition the extension from "Retract" to "Published" status. Only after approval will the extension become live and accessible on the AEM production site.
    • Deploying the project to the Production Workspace makes it available for management (e.g., enabling it for dev and stage), but it doesn’t automatically publish it to production. The approval process ensures that the extension is reviewed and meets the necessary standards before going live
    • The Approval request acts as a checkpoint to verify that the updated extension is stable, compatible with the production environment, and won’t cause issues in the live system. It’s a safeguard, not just a formality.

     

    Note : You must raise an Approval request for the Production Workspace to publish the extension and make it live on the AEM production site. Without this, the extension will remain in "Retract" status and unavailable to end users

     

    So, you need to raise the Approval request to make the extension available and functional on the AEM production site.
