DFS 11.0 - Upgrade

You are about to upgrade from a previous version to DAM for Sitecore (DFS). Which requires your attention.

Before installing the new package 

1. Delete all the config files in App_Config\Include\damforsitecore

Now start Installing the package

1. You will be asked to override files, select override all.
2. When it comes to items, here you must take one at a time. Choose override until you get to the item /sitecore/media library/Digizuite, here you must choose merge. The rest you can choose override.
3. No follow the next section DFS 11.0 - 3 Setting up Sitecore. You should allready have this handler in your web.config, but the namespace has changed in the new one, so please check the handler.

4. Reload the site, go to /sitecore/media library/Digizuite, Here you should see 2 items, a new one called Assets and the one from the existing connector, if you havent renamed it, then it would be called Assets silo.
   You must delete all child items under the assets silo (all the synchronized assets). 

   Important

   When you delete the items, you must choose "Leave links – the links will appear in the Broken Links report". This will give us the opportunity to fix the broken links on reference pages.

5. Once all items has been deleted. You must update one config that tells the connector, which guid the asset silo has. By default it points at the one coming with connector Assets. Open App_Config → Include → damforsitecore → DFS.Settings.config and local the setting named DFS.DefaulAssetSiloId, change the guid (itemId) to the one from your Assets silo.

   This step is very important. Because we deleted all items in #4, all pages that references any assets from the Asset silo, will contain broken links. In order for the connector to automatically fix the broken links, it need to know which asset silo to use.

Clean up legacy items

With this version there are items from the old connector, that no longer are in use and can be deleted.
