How does all my xDB data flow and how to pinpoint/analyze issues: To check what user you are within xDB you will need to have the value of your SC_ANALYTICS_GLOBAL_COOKIE. Copy the value without ‘| False’. https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/09/2019-09-19-sitecore-identity-server-deployment/ Thu, 19 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/09/2019-09-19-sitecore-identity-server-deployment/ BACK TO BLOG OVERVIEW When you run in to the following ERROR while deploying your Sitecore XP solution, and in specific the Identity Server: 8:21:15 PM - Resource Microsoft.Web/sites/siteextensions ‘xxx/AspNetCoreRuntime’ failed with message ‘{ “id”: “/subscriptions/xxx/resourcegroups/xxx/providers/Microsoft.Web/sites/xxx/siteextensions/AspNetCoreRuntime”, “name”: “xxx/AspNetCoreRuntime”, “type”: “Microsoft.Web/sites/siteextensions”, “location”: “West Europe”, “properties”: { “id”: “AspNetCoreRuntime”, “title”: null, “type”: “Gallery”, “summary”: null, “description”: null, “version”: null, “extension_url”: null, “project_url”: null, “icon_url”: null, “license_url”: null, “feed_url”: null, “authors”: null, https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/08/2019-08-29-sitecore-hotfix-version-selector/ Thu, 29 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/08/2019-08-29-sitecore-hotfix-version-selector/ BACK TO BLOG OVERVIEW Because of the fact we are running a lot of different Sitecore versions for our customers we love to have a good overview of the available hot fixes. Sitecore has a great GitHub page for this:https://github.com/SitecoreSupport. Unfortunately it is hard to list all specific hotfixes per version. The idea to daily crawl the GitHub page began to rise. A runbook writes the needed JSON data to a private storage account wheres we read the data using a . https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/05/2019-05-16-validate-all-your-sitecore-arm-templates-on-build/ Thu, 16 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2019/05/2019-05-16-validate-all-your-sitecore-arm-templates-on-build/ BACK TO BLOG OVERVIEW While working with ARM templates and Azure DevOps it definitely adds value to validate all your Json files during build. This might save you a lot of time. To implement this you could setup the following tasks within your build pipeline: Add a ‘npm’ task within your build and configure it as below: Now add a subsequent Powershell task, run it inline and add the following script: https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2018/10/2018-10-22-disabling-sitecore-config-files-in-azure-app-service-using-azure-devops/ Mon, 22 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2018/10/2018-10-22-disabling-sitecore-config-files-in-azure-app-service-using-azure-devops/ BACK TO BLOG OVERVIEW Since we are keen on keeping the Sitecore scwdp packages OOTB as untouched as can be (as of our deployment strategy) we have two type of tasks in our release pipeline to disable/rename config files after deploying a vanilla package. Please keep in mind that, while using these tasks, we are always deploying to a staging slot with status ‘stopped’. While checking the script(s), note that you are able to write your own powershell scripts within the $commandBody variable: "$commandBody = @{ command = "powershell. https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2018/10/2018-10-16-sitecore-symposium-must-read-takeaways/ Tue, 16 Oct 2018 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.bramstoop.com/posts/2018/10/2018-10-16-sitecore-symposium-must-read-takeaways/ BACK TO BLOG OVERVIEW “Returning from this year’s Sitecore Symposium in Orlando, I would like to share some improved/new insights that have come to me due to attending some great sessions. Some of this blog post will assume you are using a Sitecore on Azure PAAS solution. Most sessions I attended were related to continuous integration, continuous deployment, architectures, scaling, high availability and disaster recovery. The sessions from Bas Lijten, Dennis Weston and Rob Habraken inspired me most and therefore I will elaborate/reflect on most of their content.
