Replication between author and publish doesn't delete nodes.

Question

I'm new to CQ so I've been doing a lot of reading and I can't find what I thought I read somewhere.

I set up replication between author and publish. When I delete content in author and activate the directory the content doesn't get deleted in the publishing instance.

Is this normal behavior?

I was sure that I read somewhere activation/replication would make the two look identical.

Any input is appreciated.

OOTB a delete should also trigger deactivation. That means if a resource is deleted on author, it will trigger unpublish event, which will delete from publish.

This delete from publish would be successful, only if the Replication queue is set up and not blocked.

A better approach is to deactivate first. Validate publish and then delete from author

Yes, pages that you delete on the author instance should also be removed on the publish instance.Are you using the default replication agents and configs?scott
