Choose the right package

DFS is delivered with 2 packages. If your Sitecore installation only runs solr and all lucene configuration has been disabled, choose the solr package. Otherwise choose lucene package.

  1. DAM for Sitecore Lucene X.X.X.zip (Where the X'es are version numbers)DAM for Sitecore Lucene 9.0.0.zip
    Use this package for Sitecore 8.x and you plan for running DFS with Lucene search engine.
    If you choose this package the configuration file named Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config located in Sitecore Website folder\App_Config\include needs to be enabled. You verify that it is enabled by looking at the file's extension. If it says .example or .disabled. it is disabled. Simply delete the .example or .disabled from the file. Even if the Sitecore installation is running Solr as the default search engine, this still has to be done.

  2. DAM for Sitecore Solr X9.X0.X0.zip (Where the X'es are version numbers)

1.5 Installation

DFS is installed in the same way as any other Sitecore package. Here are the steps on how to do it:

Warning
titleImportant

If you get one or both of the below messages, please be aware of the following:

Continuing this guide will delete all data that you have not backed up. In order to prepare yourself for an update, you have to read the update guide (This is the update guide for DFS 8.1.0 - I: Update guide)

All assets you have used through DFS previously, will not be available externally after updating, if you have not serialized your silos.

Continuing on from here without understanding these consequences, will most likely have you re-embed all assets again. If you are still not certain, please contact your Digizuite contact person for a more detailed explanation.

  • If you've already been told by your Digizuite contact person, that it is okay to continue the update, then please continue the installation by either pressing Yes to all. This will overwrite the old versions of DFS's files and delete all silos.
