This article explains how to check these nodes with a debug log.

Resolution resolution

Solution
Before installing the service pack, configure a debug log for org.apache.jackrabbit.vault.packaging.impl.ActivityLog.

The debug log outputs the updated node paths.

  1. Go to Web Console » Sling » Log Support (http://localhost:4502/system/console/slinglog).

  2. Select Add new Logger  button.

  3. Fill in the following values, then select Save button.

    Example configuration:

    code language-none
    loglevel = DEBUG
          logfile = logs/error.log
          logger = org.apache.jackrabbit.vault.packaging.impl.ActivityLog
    
  4. Install the service pack.

  5. Check the debug log.

    Example log output:

    code language-none
