Going Global is a necessity….

Localization is coming your way!!!

At the time of globalisation,we need to globalise our content.

Multi Site Manager

- Enables you to easily manage multiple websites that

share common content

- Lets you define relations between the sites so that

content changes in one site are automatically replicated

to other sites.

- Efficiently manage different language versions of awebsite

Language Copy :-Language copy is used to create the replica of my content of

any language .

Live Copy :

-Live copy helps me to make a relationship between the actual site

with the copy of that site.

MSM Control Center

MSM Control Center is also one of the powerful tool of MSM also called Blueprint Control Center.

-The Blueprint Control Center enables you to efficiently manage a blueprint

and its live copies.

-You can define the blueprint, navigate to any blueprint page and view the status

of all the related live copies.

How to open the MSM Control Center :

1.Go to the /localhost:4502/miscadmin

2.Open the MSM Control Center from the left

Rollout Configuration

To affect changes from site to live copy ,we need rollout Triggers that cause the rollout to occur -

1. On Rollout2. On Activation3. On Modification4. On Deactivation

Rollout Triggers

OOTB Rollout Configuration

In AEM if you want to create your own custom rollout configuration Follow these steps:

1.Go to the http://localhost:7502/miscadmin2.In the MSM-> RolloutConfigurationsCreate your own rollout configuration

Sync Actions Provided by AEM

ContentCopy

ContentUpdate

ContentDelete

editProperties

orderChildren

Excluding properties and Node types from Synchronization

These nodes and properties are defined by node type

and/or explicit name and are configured in the System

Console .

When a content update, copy or delete from blueprint to live

copy is performed, the system does not copy or delete

every node and property from the source to the target node.

To ensure this, CQ has a set of filters that prevent certain

nodes and properties from being copied or deleted while

creating live copy.

1. CQ MSM Content Update Action

2. CQ MSM Content Delete Action

3. CQ MSM Content Copy Action

Three configuration exist in felix console to exclude properties:

http://localhost:4502/system/console/configMgr

Delete a component from a Live Copy page when

the content is not needed. When you delete a

component, a placeholder appears in its place, and

includes the message Placeholder for a deleted

Inherited Component.

if you decide that the content is needed, you can

restore the component. To restore, right-click the

placeholder and click Restore.

We see the live copies component become inherited

from the source site.This can be possible because of

live copy create a new node under its jcr:content

named as cq:LiveSyncConfig.This creates the

relationship with live copy and language copy.
