If you have chosen to run DAM For Sitecore with Lucene search engine, you can skip this topic.
Important
This applies only to Sitecore 9+. For earlier versions, see link
After installing DAM For Sitecore, Solr has to be configured to accommodate custom DAM For Sitecore indexes:
- dfs_assets_master_index
- dfs_assets_web_index
This is configured doing the following
1 Create physical cores
To create the physical Solr cores, do the following:
- open file explorer on the server on which Solr is installed
- navigate to path <solr install dir>\solr-6.6.1-0\apache-solr\server\solr\configsets
- copy folder basic_configs into folder <solr install dir>\solr-6.6.1-0\apache-solr\server\solr
- rename to dfs_assets_master_index
- Repeat 1-4 for dfs_assets_web_index
2 Create cores in Solr UI
To create the cores in Solr UI, do the following:
- Open solr UI (e.g. https://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/)
- Go to Core Admin
- Add both cores (See screenshot below)
3 Populate cores
To populate Solr cores, do the following:
- Log into Sitecore
- Navigate to control panel
- Click Populate Solr Managed Schema
- Select both dfs indexes and press populate
4 Add DAM For Sitecore specific dynamic fields
To add DAM For Sitecore specifc dynamic fields, do the following:
- Open solr UI (e.g. https://127.0.0.1:8983/solr/)
- Select cores from core selector
- Under schema, add a new dynamic field with name as "*_lc" and field type lowercase
- Do this for both indexes
Please be aware that if you populate the managed schema after adding the dynamic field, then they are overwritten.
5 Check unqiueKey in managed schema
Sitecore 9.0.0 populates the managed schema with a wrong uniqueKey, so please double check that the <uniqueKey> tag does indeed contain the correct uniqueKey (it should be _uniqueid).
Locate the managed-schema file under the 2 cores dfs_assets_master_index and dfs_assets_web_index you created in section 1. Check the tag <uniqueKey> the value should be _uniqueid.
Then restart the solr service.
See Sitecore documentation for for further information.
6 Add excluded fields
Open \App_Config\Include\damforsitecore\DFS.Assets.Solr.IndexConfiguration.config and locate the section <exclude hint="list:AddExcludedField">. Add these field to the section. Do not delete the existing fields.
