While using VLT RCP command (with the latest 3.6.8 version of vault-cli) to sync content from one author environment to another, the AEM 6.5.17 is failing with NoSuchNodeTypeException related to node indexedData.

The newly created content fragments (post SP17 installation) also get a node called indexedData  under jcr:content.

This new node was introduced for SITES-8297/SITES-97 in SP17.

Resolution resolution

The destination environment AEM version is 6.5.16.

The issue can be fixed by upgrading the destination system to SP17 (Version - 6.5.17.0).

Cause
The error occurs when the tool is trying to import a node to a destination system that doesn’t have the respective node type definition.
