Reverse Replication of User Resources

[davidjgonzalez]

The Problem

As AEM moves from WCM to WebApp, the need to move around User profile information becomes more common. Current "OOTB" implementation for this requires various Launchers and dev-based "touch" of resource for replication.

The Proposal

• Creating disabled Launchers for RR'ing profile resources - OR - creating an event listener (that could be configured for any path i supposed) that handles queuing of resources for Reverse Replication.
• Creating a ReplicationUtil (or Helper) that can be used to "touch" a resource to trigger it for RR (setting the lastMod, lastModBy and cq:distribute properties).

Concerns

RR has many nuances and pitfalls. We would need to be very careful we dont create a faulty/broken abstraction.

Hi David,

What happened to this request. Can you please let me know if there is a utility already there? If not is there a way we can achieve reverse replication of users? Or, send me a documentation on it.

Rohan.
