Request Body Format for Replicate tasks

RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_TIMESTAMP

If the task option is RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_TIMESTAMP, then the format should be:

JSON File Format:

{"cdcposition":"timestamp"}

Example:

{"cdcposition":"2017-03-07T11:19:03"}

Inline Format:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"timestamp\"}"

Example:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"2017-03-07T11:19:03\"}"

RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_POSITION

If the task option is RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_POSITION then, assuming the source database is SQL Server, the format should be:

JSON File Format:

{"cdcposition":"LSN"}

Example:

{"cdcposition":"15000000040000037"}

Inline Format:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"LSN\"}"

Example:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"15000000040000037\"}"

RECOVER_USING_CHECKPOINT_STORED_ON_TARGET

If the task option is RECOVER_USING_CHECKPOINT_STORED_ON_TARGET, then the format should be:

JSON File Format:

{"cdcposition":"target_checkpoint"}

Example:

{"cdcposition":"Checkpoint:V1#1#timestamp:2017-02-14T12:34:44#0#0#*#0#0"}

Inline Format:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"target_checkpoint\"}"

Example:

"{\"cdcposition\":\"Checkpoint:V1#1#timestamp:2017-02-14T12:34:44#0#0#*#0#0\"}"

Return value

AemRunTaskResp

Return values
Value	Type	Description
error_message	string	The description of the error.
state	AemTaskState { STOPPED = 0, RUNNING = 1, ERROR = 2, RECOVERY = 3 }	The current state of the task.

Errors

All of the general errors as well as the errors listed in the table below.

Error responses
Error	Message	Description
AEM_TASK_ALREADY_RUNNING	Replicate task {task} on server {server} is already running.	The task cannot be run because it is already running.
AEM_TASK_IN_RECOVERY	Replicate task {task} on server {server} cannot be run as it is in a recovery state.	The task cannot be run because it is in Recovery state.
AEM_WRONG_OPTION_FOR_CDCPOSITION	Replicate task {task] on server {server} cannot be run with cdcposition {position} and option {option}. Change the option to RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_TIMESTAMP, RESUME_PROCESSING_FROM_POSITION, or RECOVER_USING_CHECKPOINT_STORED_ON_TARGET	This error is returned when the specified option conflicts with the setting in the Advanced Run Options dialog in Replicate.
AEM_CDC_POSITION_ERR_FORMAT	The cdcposition parameter value for Replicate task {task} on server {server} is not in the correct format ('YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ').	The cdcPosition parameter must follow this format: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ Parameters: task name and server name
AEM_RUN_TASK_TIMEOUT	Replicate task {task} on server {server} timed out when requested to “Run”.	The task does not assume a Running state or any other steady state (error or stopped).
AEM_RUN_TASK_INNER_ERR	Replicate task {task} on server {server} encountered an error when requested to run.	Replicate experienced an error/exception when trying to run the task.
AEM_RUN_TASK_NO_SRC_NO_TRG	Replicate task {task} on server {server} has no source or target endpoints.	Task validation revealed that the task is missing a source and a target.
AEM_RUN_TASK_NO_SRC	Replicate task {task} on server {server} has no source endpoint.	Task validation revealed that the task is missing a source.
AEM_RUN_TASK_TRG	Replicate task {task} on server {server} has no target endpoint.	Task validation revealed that the task is missing a target.
AEM_RUN_TASK_NOT_FL_NOR_CDC	Replicate task {task} on server {server} cannot be run without at least one of the replication options enabled (Full Load, Apply Changes, or Store Changes).	Task validation of a unidirectional task revealed that the replication option definition for the task is missing (Full Load, Apply Changes, or Store Changes).
AEM_RUN_BIDI_TASK_NO_FL_NOR_CDC	Replicate task {task} on server {server} cannot be run without at least one of the replication options enabled (Full Load or Apply Changes).	Task validation of a unidirectional task revealed that the replication option definition for the task is missing (Full Load, Apply Changes, or Store Changes).
