Pause option in AEM replication agent queue

At some point, we need to stop the replication from AEM author to the publisher for some time or a few minutes, so that no content gets published from author to publisher instance. May we need to handle the maintenance window or stop accepting new content from authors. So the question here is how we can do this without disabling the AEM replication queue. 

How to pause the replication agent queue?

Out of the box, the AEM replication agent queue has an option "pause", using that pause option we could stop the replication. When you will pause the queue then all content which will get published by authors during that time frame will be enlisted in the queue but those will not get processed. The pause option will only pause your queue but your replication queue will be still enabled and active.

Points to remember:

  • When we will restart our instance then this paused status will be overridden and we will find the queue is active.
  • By default, it will pause for an hour.

Hope this helps you to understand the pause option and its role in the AEM replication queue.
