Replicating Experience Manager Content using the Replication API

When working with Adobe Experience Manager content, such as pages and digital assets, you can use workflows to replicate the content. Furthermore, you can use the AEM Replication API to build a custom step that replicates content from the Author instance to the Publisher instance.  For more information, see Replication API.

For example, consider a business requirement when a digital asset has to be replicated using a workflow. However, each time you replicate the asset, you have an additional business requirment. For example, you have to track the path (and other information) of the Asset that is replicated in a database.  Using a custom step, you can track the information to address your business requirement and replicate the asset.

NOTE - This Article has been updated to SHOW USE of a CUSTOM REP Agent. (See code at the end of the article)

The following illustration show the workflow model that replicates a digital asset to the Publish instance.

The following video shows the use case - replicating content using the Replication API.
