...

Empty data in dfs_assets_master_index and dfs_assets_web_index. Ensure Solr core replication does not interfere with this (if any).

Updating the module to DFS 10.04.0

  1. Install the new DFS 10DAM for Sitecore-10.4.0-U.0 zip package and overwrite all when asked.


After updating to DFS 10.0.0:

  1. If you are upgrading from DFS 8.x, follow this step otherwise continue to the next step. Since we removed the DFS membership provider. You have to assign the role sitecore\Digizuite DAM for Sitecore Users to the user extranet\Anonymous. If you don't do this, you won't be able to see any DFS assets on the public website as the anonymous user.
  2. Add the silo item through the Installation Wizard again which you packed in step 2a.

    Note

    It is important to delete the data of the index dfs_assets_master_index, before doing a full synchronization of the silo. If you don't do this, the full synchronization will fail.


  3. If you're updating from below 10.0.0, then continue to the following page: DFS 10.4.0 - Keeping the Silo Updated. If not, then you can skip this step.
