Hello everyone, In this blog we will see a common error(403 forbidden) that usually comes up whenever we try to push something(Themes related changes) using SXA CLI to Sitecore Instance and how we can solve it. So let's begin. Whenever we use any SXA command like sxa watch or sxa upload which pushes the recent changes to your configure Sitecore Instance and you are getting 403 forbidden access eventhough your minification is showing success as shown below Solution: Just check your z.SPE.Sync.Enabler.Gulp.config file is disabled.If yes, then make it enable as it has configuration for media file upload to instance. Path : wwwroot/App_Config/Include/z.Feature.Overrides/z.SPE.Sync.Enabler.Gulp.config Hope this will help. Thanks for reading. Happy Sitecore learning!!!

Hello everyone, In this blog we will learn how we can migrate Sitecore npm packages from myget to nuget and also how we can upgrade the SXA CLI Themes from 10.1 to 10.3 version. Recently, I was working on Sitecore 10.3 SXA upgrade project.This was container based application both for local and higher environments. In this project we were using Sitecore SXA CLI 10.1 to push our themese related changes to our Sitecore Instances and we have to upgrade it to 10.3 for the same. We came across two hurdles in that. First of all we have to migrate Sitecore npm package dependecies from https://sitecore.myget.org/f/sc-npm-packages/npm/ to https://www.npmjs.com/package/ . The second hurdle was to update the Themes itself. I will try to provide the approach that we have followed and it has worked for us. Step 1 : We will removed the old sitecore npm package url. In 10.1 we use to set the old url in internal npm configuration. If you want you can manually remove it by navigating to C:/users/{{yo...

Hello everyone, In this blog we will see how we can run database clean up task manaully using Sitecore CLI and why it is important especially during upgrade. Recently, we were working on Sitecore upgrade project from 10.1 to 10.3. Our solution was based on Docker setup. If you go through Sitecore Upgrade guide for container, you will find that Sitecore provide mssql-upgrade docker image which takes care of upgrading the SQL schema and tables required for the required Sitecore version to function properly.But if you closely observe during sql upgrade, you will see Sitecore modules are not updated during the process. Sitecore documentation guide provide information how we can upgrade different Sitecore module which is used in the solution. In our solution, we were using Sitecore PowerShell and Sitecore SXA module.Also in Sitecore 10.3, Sitecore is providing this module as Item As Resource( .dat files ) instead Sitecore Items in the package. So whenever we are upgrading, we need to remo...
