How to upload and install the packages through Java API - AEM

This post will explain the approach to upload and install the packages through JAVA.

Refer the post for details on creating the package through Java - https://www.albinsblog.com/2018/01/sling-scheduler-to-auto-create-packages-JcrPackageManager-api-aem.html

Sample Servlet to upload and install the package - Convert the servlet to the scheduler and import/replicate the package based on the scheduled time

Details on package manager upload method
@Nonnull
JcrPackage upload(@Nonnull
java.io.File file,
boolean isTmpFile,
boolean replace,
@Nullable
java.lang.String nameHint)
throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException,
java.io.IOException
Uploads a package. The location is chosen from the installation path of the package. if the package does not provide such a path, the nameHint is respected and the package is placed below the package root. if the package already exists at that path it is not installed and null is returned unless replace is true.

Parameters:
file - package file to upload
isTmpFile - indicates if the given file is a temp file and can be deleted when the package is closed
replace - if true existing packages are replaced.
nameHint - hint for the name if the package does not provide one

Returns:
the new jcr package

Make sure the service user(packageassempler) is having the access to the filter paths specified in the package and also the create/modify/delete/replicate permission to /etc/packages - Refer the post-https://www.albinsblog.com/2018/01/sling-scheduler-to-auto-create-packages-JcrPackageManager-api-aem.html for the steps on configuring the service user.

The configured package is created with the filter - /etc/cloudservices/search-promote so provided the modify/create/delete access to the service user (the service user should be having the modify/create/delete access for the filter path defined in the package)





Verify the package status in CRXD package manager and CRXDE




The package also successfully replicated to the agent - I could not able to validate the replication through the publisher(not having the local setup) but the replication requests are queued in author agent.
