Application package installation

Question

Good morning,
 
I have an on premises architecture with two author machines.
 
When you install a new application package through the "/crx/packmgr/index.jsp" on the first author node, is the second node in standby automatically updated or is it necessary to replicate the package?
 
Thanks

Hi @robertol6836527,

Ideally, it should be done manually (Replicate the package using a replicating agent)

But you can still write some custom logic to automate it using sling listeners.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Hi @robertol6836527,

Technically you should follow the same steps as you are installing on your 1st author instance - You cannot replicate that package(since it is author to author).

Replicating content between 2 authoring instances has some drawbacks:

ACLs are not persisted on the receiving side.
Annotations are persisted on the receiving side.

This isn't a problem when replicating to publish instance, but in an author to author use case it's probably more a problem.

For that maybe clustering (with the Active Clustering method and load balancing) be something to consider for you?

Hope that helps!
