Sounds like the intention is to prevent any more publishes from going out to the world. Rather than restrict authoring, do consider restricting the publishing feature when such a freeze is in place. 

Hi RohitThe entire thread was an interesting read till it ran into a bummer without a technical closure or reasoning. Would you care to share your findings  as well ?RegardsJoseph

Does this hold good in 6.1 as well ? coz I am not seeing it anymore. The classes folder is completely empty. 

Hi, After enabling SSL on a CQ author instance (refer to http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/deploying/config-ssl.html), I am noticing continuous SSL Exceptions in the error log. See Stack trace below. 23.11.2013 01:09:15.236 *WARN* [127.0.0.1 [1385168955233] <parse>] servletengine I/O error in ex...

Hence I tried to check out ...

Hi Thanks for the reply. I am required to have a cluster of publish instances. Hence there will be only one replication agent fanning out of the authors (another cluster). Now, if I have a direct CQ instance as the replication receiver, then there is a risk in terms of the availability if that parti...

Is configuring the replication agent to point to the publish CQ instance using a dispatcher or load balance URL a supported configuration?When I tried the same, the asset was disappearing from the replication queue and showing status "green" against an asset. However, the content was not actually go...

I am trying to find assets larger than "XX" bytes in the repository using an XPATH queryFound the equality operation to work in my xpath query/jcr:root/<folder to be looked in>/element(*, dam:Asset)[(jcr:content/metadata/@dam:size)=('2048')] But when I use the operators for > or <, the query fails t...
