    To resolve the issue:

    1. Upgrade to version 1.9.5 of the enhanced connector.

    2. Disable the Publish Assets to Brand Portal option under advanced settings.

    3. Enable the Publish Assets to Brand Portal option.

    4. Delete the wrong event subscriptions.

      1. Perform GET calls to /attask/eventsubscription/api/v1/subscriptions?page=<page-number>

        Execute one API call for each page number.

      2. Search for the following text to find event subscriptions that match the following URL and do not have an objId:

        code language-none
             "objId": "",
            "url": "<your-aem-domain>/bin/workfront-tools/events/linkedfolderprojectupdate<your-aem-domain>/
        

        Ensure that the content between "objId": "", and "url" matches the JSON response. The recommended method to do this is to copy from any Event Subscription that has an objId and then delete the number.

      3. Note the event subscription ID.

      4. Delete the wrong event subscription. Make a Delete API call to <your-aem-domain>/attask/eventsubscription/api/v1/subscriptions/<event-subscription-ID-from-previous-step>

        200 as the response code signifies successful deletion of wrong event subscriptions.

    note note

    If you have already deleted the wrong event subscriptions before executing the steps mentioned in this procedure, you can skip the last step of this procedure.
