Page Activations related doubt.

Suppose I have my replication set up in such a way that from author it will go to publish1 and from publish1 to various other publishers.

Suppose pages are activated from author to publish1 and status turns green in author but the pages are not actually published. If second activations (from publish1 to publish2, 

publish3 etc) are stuck in queue, then page may or may not be available in live site. In this case user will complain that pages are activated in author.

How should this be handled.

Hi,

Personally I don't like the architecture, that your author activates to a publish, which then acts as a hub and replicates the changed pages/assets to the "real" publishs. For exactly the reasons which have already been mentioned:

  • Activation status on author is not necessarily correct
  • hard to monitor
  • dependency on a single point of failure for replication
  • complicates the complete setup

The additional load must not be your concern in the first place, since the impact is low, and it doesn't outweigh the costs of the above mentioned topics. Only in very rare cases I would say, that this is acceptable. But then you should know what you do, and you should have a solution for it. In every other case: Just don't do it.

Hi,

I understand your position in this discussion with your customer. But as said, unless you have very specific conditions I would not go for the model you described. Mostly because the work you have to do to make it work in a good way is substantial and there is no out-of-the-box solution or something which is easy to implement. Please get in touch with the responsible architect and do the discussion (again). I know, that these kind of discussions aren't easy, especially when you need to change an architectural decsision later in the project. If you need help in that discussion you could also reach out for Adobe Professional Services to support you in this discussion.

But I really ask you not take this approach. In my opinion the costs are higher than any benefit you expect from it.

kind regards,
Jörg

I think we should be able to override the function where they update the status on the siteadmin page. I will try and see if I can find the place
