Re: How to Execute a Sling Replication

[Andreas Schaefer Sr.]

Hi Timothee

I am slowly getting there. As much as I love OSGi for its extensibility as much
I hate it when it goes wrong.

Turns out for the Forward Distribution Agent I need a Distribution Package 
Builder
which is not configured in the Sample but I could also not find it in the IT 
tests.

After having a closer at the IT tests I figured out that I also need to set the
run mode ‘notshared’.

This did the trick and now I have the author configuration up and running.

I let you know if I run into other issues.

Thanks - Andy

 Hi
 
 I managed to build and install the Sling Distribution including
 the sample package. Everything looks fine but I am not sure
 how to start a replication of a given node.
 
 I want to replicate a given node on the Author to the Publish
 instance(s) defined in the used agent. How would I do that
 from the command line?
 
 Thanks - Andy Schaefer

Hi Andy,

Indeed, I am referring to the curl command you shared.

Regarding the unsupported operation exception, I think you are on the right
track when thinking that the agent is not started.
An agent configuration refers to set of services. The agent is only started
if all the referenced services are available.
The likely reason for your agent not to be started, is that one or more
references are not satisfied.

In order to figure out what reference may be unsatisfied, you may want to
look at the agent component you are configuring in the OSGI components
console (path is /system/console/components). The references marked as
"Unsatisfied" must be resolved, typically by adding a configuration for the
missing referenced service.

HTH,

Timothee
