Clone AEM Author Files

This guide uses the terms SOURCE and TARGET.

SOURCE : The instance we want to clone. No changes are made to the SOURCE instance.

TARGET : The instance we are updating. When complete, this instance will look just like SOURCE.

  • On TARGET {LINUX}

  • Ensure we have an open TCP port. One of 4500 or 4501 is generally open.

  • Clear the old data and set up the receiver
    # Listen for incoming data
    $ cd /apps/cms/data/aem64-author/crx-quickstart
    $ rm -rf app conf install launchpad monitoring repository threaddumps
    $ nc -l 4501 | tar xvf -
  • On SOURCE
    # Send data to TARGET
    $ cd /apps/cms/data/aem64-author/crx-quickstart
    $ tar cf - app conf install launchpad | nc TARGET 4501
