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 requirement. 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 requirements 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 shows the workflow model that replicates a digital asset to the Publish instance.
