In DAM For Sitecore 9.3 we have shifted technology from pulling updates to pushing updates. In the previous versions of the module we had a hook which ran every minute. The purpose of this background process was to listen for changes in the DAM and then subsequently make sure that the changes was synchronized into the silo. This feature has been deprecated.
Now we have changed this to an event driven architecture. The Digizuite DAM will send out notifications to Sitecore whenever something has changed to an asset or some metadata and Sitecore will then automatically update the content.
In order for Digizuite DAM to notify your Sitecore instance, you have to register what we call an integration endpoint.

It is important that the Digizuite DAM server can access you Sitecore instance through HTTP otherwise it wont be able to send out notifications. |
The synchronized silo, will automatically be kept up to date by the system. This page attempts to give some insights to this:
In the ../App_Config/Include/damforsitecore/DFS.Connect.config configuration file, there is a "hook", which is a timer that by default runs every minute. The purpose of this background process is to listen for changes in the DAM and then subsequently make sure that the changes are synchronized into the silo. You may change the interval between when the timer looks for changes in the DAM.
You may also stop the timer completely if you wish. This is done by commenting out the configuration entirely (practically removing it). If you choose to disable the timer, then you have to manually synchronize the DFS Silo every time a change is done in the DC to have the silo up to date.
This is how the timer (hook) looks in the configuration file:

1. Create integration endpoint
Go to the DAM for Sitecore Administration dashboard (Control Panel → Administration → Administration DAM for Sitecore). On the main page at the right site tou should see a "Validate Digizuite Integration" which should say something like this "No endpoint has been setup for this Sitecore instance. The asset silo wont be updated automatically. See documentation how to setup a new Digizuite integration endpoint.". If it is has a green check mark, then the integration has already been setup and you can skip this setup.
- Click the menu "Digizuite Integration".
- You should see an empty list, indicating that no endpoint has been configured.
- Click on the icon
, which brings up this dialog.
- Enter a name for the endpoint then the URL to you Sitecore instance without the /sitecore. This URL must be accessible from the Digizuite DAM server.
- Click create endpoint.
- You should now see the newly created endpoint in the list. By default a newly created endpoint is disabled (status = stopped). To enable is click the actions buttons
and select the menu "Start endpoint". - Now the status should change to "running".
