Things to be aware of before upgrading from a previous version
|
Before updating to 10.0.0:
...
Delete the silo with "Leave links" option
...
Confirm items under Digizuite have disappeared:
...
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 10.0.0
- Install the new DFS 10.0.0 package and overwrite all when asked.
After updating to DFS 10.0.0:
...
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. |
...
Updating the module to DFS 10.4.0
Install the new
DAM for Sitecore-10.4.0-U.zippackage and overwrite all when asked.
| Note |
|---|
It is important that you install the package tagged with a U. This means that it is a upgrade package. If you install the package without a U, then all synchronized assets will be deleted and you have to do a full synchronization. If you have a lot of assets in your DAM, then this task can take a long time. |
After updating
Two new connection parameters has been added, see DFS 10.4.0 - 3 Setting up Sitecore. Open your patch config file which contains the Digizuite DAM url and add the missing parameters
DFS.AssetSiloSettings.Default.MediaManagerUrlandDFS.AssetSiloSettings.Default.SearchFolderId. Ask you contact at Digizuite for the values. Once changed, reload the Sitecore instance, before proceeding.It is important that you do a full synchronization of the configuration. We have made breaking changes around this area.
Now you should be fully done with the update.
