Scheduled pages report from AEM - aem

Question

Is there any way to view a report for all pages scheduled for activate later from AEM? I am able to see one report under Tools (Workflow Report) which shows the total count of "Scheduled Page/Asset Activation", but I want to see all page information about scheduled page activations including time for activation.

You can view all running workflow instances by navigating to
http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/content/console.html and clicking on the the Instances tab. Look for Scheduled Page/Asset Activation under the Workflow Model column. You can group and sort by that column.
If you want to search from within your code, you can find the resources waiting to be activated with these JCR-SQL2 or XPATH queries:
SELECT * FROM [cq:Workflow] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE(s,'/etc/workflow/instances') AND s.[modelId] = '/etc/workflow/models/scheduled_activation/jcr:content/model' AND s.[status] = 'RUNNING'
/jcr:root/etc/workflow/instances//*[#modelId='/etc/workflow/models/scheduled_activation/jcr:content/model' and #status='RUNNING']
However, it sounds like what you want to do is create a custom report:
Navigate to http://localhost:4502/miscadmin.
Open Reports in the left pane.
Click New... > New Page... in the right pane.
Select the Workflow Instance Report template and give it a title.
Open the new page.
Drag Model from the sidekick into the parsys. The report should immediately populate.
Drag Payload from the sidekick into the title bar where Model already exists.
Click the dropdown arrow in the Model column, select Filter, equals and enter Scheduled Page/Asset Activation.
Drag Status from the sidekick into the title bar where Model and Payload already exist.
Click the dropdown arrow in the Status column, select Filter, equals and enter RUNNING.
You can drop in any other columns that you wish. You can save the report and set it up to create snapshots as well.
This will give you a report of pages scheduled to be activated. Unfortunately, it won't tell you the time that the page will be activated. In order to accomplish this you will have to create a new reporting column component.
Copy /libs/cq/reporting/components/instancereport/payloadcol into your apps folder renaming as something like scheduledcol.
Look at the scheduledcol node and notice the jcr:primaryType, componentGroup and sling:resourceSuperType; it's a regular CQ component.
Update the jcr:title property to Scheduled.
Update the scheduledcol/definitions/queryBuilder node's property property. You can go with either ./data/metaData/comment which gives you plain text or you can use ./data/metaData/absoluteTime which gives you the date and time in milliseconds when the activation will occur. Look at a workflow instance under /etc/workflow/instances/<date>/model_<number>/data/metaData and you'll see how the new component's queryBuilder property matches up.
Return to your report, refresh the page, and drag the new Scheduled component from the Sidekick onto your report.
