aem-replication

name aem-replication description Single entry point for all AEM 6.5 LTS Replication skills. Covers configuring replication agents, activating/deactivating content, using the Replication API programmatically, and troubleshooting distribution issues for Adobe Experience Manager 6.5 LTS. license Apache-2.0 compatibility Requires AEM 6.5 LTS or Adobe Managed Services (AMS). NOT compatible with AEM as a Cloud Service (use Sling Distribution API instead). metadata {"version":"1.0","aem_version":"6.5 LTS"} AEM 6.5 LTS Replication Route user requests to the appropriate specialist skill based on intent.

Read the linked SKILL.md for that specialist skill. Follow the workflow and guidance defined in that skill. For complex scenarios spanning multiple skills (e.g., configure agent then troubleshoot), start with the primary intent and cross-reference as needed. Skill Overview Configure Replication Agent Set up and configure replication agents for: Default agents : Author to Publish content distribution Dispatcher Flush agents : Cache invalidation Reverse replication : Publish to Author user-generated content flow Multiple publish instances : Load balancing and high availability When to use: First-time setup, adding new publish instances, reconfiguring agents Replicate Content Activate and deactivate content through: Quick Publish : Simple one-click activation Manage Publication : Advanced scheduling and approval workflows Tree Activation : Hierarchical bulk publishing Package Manager : Specific content set distribution Workflows : Approval-based publishing Scheduled Activation : Time-based content publishing When to use: Publishing pages, assets, or DAM content; unpublishing content Replication API Programmatic replication using official AEM 6.5 LTS public APIs: Replicator interface : Core replication methods ReplicationOptions : Configure synchronous/asynchronous, agent filtering ReplicationStatus : Query replication state AgentManager, ReplicationQueue, ReplicationListener : Advanced queue management and monitoring When to use: Custom code integration, bulk operations, workflow process steps, servlets Troubleshoot Replication Diagnose and fix common issues: Blocked queues : FIFO queue failures Connection errors : Network, authentication, SSL issues Content not appearing : Dispatcher cache, permissions Agent configuration : URI, credentials, triggers Event queue issues : Stuck replication jobs When to use: Replication failures, performance issues, content not distributing Replication Orchestrator Coordinates end-to-end replication workflows spanning multiple sub-skills: New Environment Setup : Configure agents → Test replication → Troubleshoot Production Incident Response : Diagnose → Fix → Verify Performance Optimization : Monitor → Tune → Validate Migration Preparation : Audit → Plan → Execute When to use: Multi-step scenarios requiring coordination across configure, replicate, API, and troubleshoot skills Common Workflows First-Time Setup Use Configure Replication Agent to set up default agent Use Replicate Content to test with a sample page If issues occur, use Troubleshoot Replication Production Operations Use Replicate Content for day-to-day publishing Use Replication API for automated/bulk operations Use Troubleshoot Replication when issues arise Advanced Integration Use Replication API to understand available methods Use Configure Replication Agent to understand agent configuration Use Troubleshoot Replication for debugging custom replication code Foundation References Shared reference materials used across all replication skills: Agent Types : Default, Dispatcher Flush, Reverse, and Static agents Queue Mechanics : FIFO processing, retry logic, queue management AEM 6.5 LTS Guardrails : Service users, timeouts, batch limits, best practices API Quick Reference : Replicator, ReplicationOptions, ReplicationStatus methods Official Documentation All skills reference official Adobe AEM 6.5 LTS documentation: Replication Documentation Replication Troubleshooting Replication API JavaDoc Related Skills AEM Workflow : Integrate replication with approval workflows Dispatcher : Configure Dispatcher Flush agents for cache invalidation Migration to AEM as a Cloud Service AEM as a Cloud Service uses the Sling Distribution API instead of replication agents. If planning migration: Review Cloud Service Distribution Documentation For code migration patterns, see skills/aem/cloud-service/skills/best-practices/references/replication.md Avoid agent-specific coupling (filter by agent ID) to reduce migration complexity
