Waiting for activation in CQ5

I created a test page on the Geometrixx website in CQ5. I can clearly see the page on port 4502 (authoring environment). But when I activate the page to see it on port 4503 (publishing environment), I always see a yellow icon in front of the page on the console, which when hovering says “Waiting for activation”. # 1 in line

Is there any kind of workflow? If so, how can I test this and possibly kill him (for now)? Or is there another reason?

The default replication queue settings point to localhost: 4503. If the publication instance is not on the same machine as the author’s instance (which is shared), you will need to change the settings to point to the actual publication instance. After a valid publication instance is configured, items queued for activation must be processed and the icons will change from yellow to green.

If the queue is blocked, you can clear it:

  • going to /etc/replication/agents.author.html
  • Clicking on the default replication agent.
  • Then click "Clear" above the queue. This will clear the entire queue.
  • If you want to delete one or more specific items in the queue, you can select then click "Clear".

This page contains several troubleshooting steps for replication agents: http://helpx.adobe.com/cq/kb/replication-stuck.html

You can check replication queues on

http://localhost:4502/etc/replication.html

Default agent

 http://localhost:4502/etc/replication/agents.author/publish.html

Here you can check the connection, view the log and see what is in the queue. You can also clear the queue or try again.

One thing not explicitly mentioned so far: you need two instances of AEM. Ports 4502 and 4503 do not indicate different modes of the same instance, since AEM only listens on one port (in general). Therefore, you will need to copy the Author banner into the new directory and name it something like cq5-publish-4503.jar

Additionally, you may need to update maven maven files to deploy code. However, you can install installed machines for automatic replication / publishing.

there is a way to see the "final look" of your test page without publishing: wcmmode=disabled

 http:// localhost: 4502/cf#/content/geometrixx/folder/test.html

Just remove / cf # and add ?wcmmode=disabled after extension.

 http:// localhost: 4502/content/geometrixx/folder/test.html?wcmmode=disabled
