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 that 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 were synchronized into the silo. This feature has been deprecated.
Now we have changed this to an event-driven architecture. The Digizuite DAM will now send out notifications to Sitecore whenever something has changed to an asset or some metadata and metadata of an asset has changedSitecore 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"


Info
titleImportant

It is important that the Digizuite DAM server can access your Sitecore instance through HTTP otherwise it won't be able to send out notifications.

1. Create integration endpoint

Go to the DAM for Sitecore Administration dashboard (Control Panel → Administration → Administration DAM for Sitecore). On In the right side of the main page at the right site, you should see a "Validate Digizuite Integration" message, which should say something like this "No endpoint has been set up for this Sitecore instance. The asset silo won't be updated automatically. See documentation how to set up a new Digizuite integration endpoint". If it 's instead has a green checkmark, then the integration already has already been set up and you can skip this setup guide.

  • 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 your Sitecore instance (without the "/sitecore"). This URL must be accessible from the Digizuite DAM server.
  • Click create "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 it, click the actions buttons button  and select the menu "Start endpoint".
  • Now the status should change to "running".

Now your Your Sitecore instance is will now be ready to receive updates from the Digizuite DAM. To test validate this, go to the DAM Explorer and find an locate any asset. Then open Open the Digizuite DAM Center and search for the same your chosen asset. Make a change to the metadata of the asset ex. asset's metadata - e.g. change the title. Save the change, this should fire a notification Once you save your changes, a notification should be sent to your Sitecore instance and thereby update the asset. Reload the DAM Explorer and see if validate that the title of the asset indeed has changedbeen updated.
