You setup is probably missing a service that detects changes in the repository and triggers distribution requests (similar the example you shared [2]) upon changes.

You would need to develop a service that issues distribution requests via the APIs at

https://github.com/apache/sling/tree/trunk/contrib/extensions/distribution/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/distribution

In particular, see the Distributor API

https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/contrib/extensions/distribution/api/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/distribution/Distributor.java

Syncing content is highly dependent on the content structure related to a specific use case, thus making a generic implementation is tricky.

To my knowledge, there is no plan to have generic sync feature implemented. You could implement sync for your own use case.

Hi MC Stuff,

could you please guide me what all I will have to write custom ?

I have user working fine in my system.

I want my /content/dam/xyz folder to be in sync.

I understand I need to write a listener, and how do I use distribution API in it ?

Regards,

Akash B.
