This process can occur within a single organization, between organizations, or even between different data storage systems and formats. The goal of data migration is to ensure that all data is accurately and efficiently transferred to the new system or format, and that data integrity is maintained throughout the process. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face=""Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 100px;"></span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: #2f5496; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">What is content migration in Sitecore?</span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Content migration in Sitecore refers to the process of moving items from one Sitecore instance to another. This can include migrating content, media, templates, and other items from one Sitecore environment to another. The goal of content migration is to ensure that the content in the new environment is accurate, up-to-date, and consistent with the data in the previous environment. Content migration can be a complex process and requires careful planning, testing, and execution to ensure that all data is properly moved and that there are no disruptions to the website or other systems that depend on the Sitecore environment. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">It's important to note that data migration can be a intricate process that can take a lot of time and resources. Before performing any migration, it is essential to make a backup of the source and destination instances, and to test the migration in a development environment before migrating to production.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Content migration can be done in various ways as shown here</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrX6arl6Rv1yQLLf4EK_9sirGi22hbHI0TzktTSCm3D8T-UokCGL9DHAxM0dkYZPgpUeiQZnIQsJx6a4ic8cBqE8UtDhO_MkibpZ4_R5z1KagCdMAdZe17egTqMOtBtOK4ieuPwzKBu3s15JmfMKstdZiZWCd-sF2bdgSOwjTfDQTCa08h7ZJKF7gRs8/s932/tmp_a3ad387d-f353-49f3-8a0c-d61ff0c78edf.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Various ways of content migration" border="0" data-original-height="379" data-original-width="932" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTrX6arl6Rv1yQLLf4EK_9sirGi22hbHI0TzktTSCm3D8T-UokCGL9DHAxM0dkYZPgpUeiQZnIQsJx6a4ic8cBqE8UtDhO_MkibpZ4_R5z1KagCdMAdZe17egTqMOtBtOK4ieuPwzKBu3s15JmfMKstdZiZWCd-sF2bdgSOwjTfDQTCa08h7ZJKF7gRs8/w640-h260/tmp_a3ad387d-f353-49f3-8a0c-d61ff0c78edf.png" title="Various ways of content migration" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face=""Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif" style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="display: inline-block; position: relative; width: 100px;"></span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="color: #2f5496; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Sitecore Package</span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A Sitecore Package is a compressed archive file containing Sitecore items, files, and other assets that can be easily exported from one Sitecore instance and imported into another.

<p class="MsoNormal">In programming, a pipeline is a concept used to describe a
sequence of data processing elements or functions that are connected in a
chain, where the output of one element serves as the input for the next element.
This technique is commonly used to organize and streamline the flow of data or
operations in various computational processes.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In a pipeline, data flows through different stages or
processing units, with each stage performing a specific operation on the data.
Each stage typically focuses on a particular task, and the combination of all
stages allows for complex data processing or transformations to be achieved
efficiently.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The pipeline pattern is widely used in various areas of
software development, such as data processing, data analysis, and even web
application development.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Examples of Pipelines<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Data Processing Pipeline:</u></b> In data processing,
a pipeline might involve several stages for transforming and analyzing data.
For example, in a data analysis pipeline, data could flow through stages like
data ingestion, cleaning, feature extraction, machine learning model training,
and finally, result evaluation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Image Processing Pipeline:</u></b> In image
processing, a pipeline could be used to process images through various stages,
such as image resizing, noise reduction, color correction, edge detection, and
image enhancement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Web Development Pipeline:</u></b> In web development,
a pipeline can be used for tasks like asset compilation and optimization. For
instance, a pipeline could involve concatenating and minifying CSS and
JavaScript files, optimizing images, and caching assets for faster loading
times.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
Pipeline:</u></b> In software development, a CI/CD pipeline automates the
process of building, testing, and deploying code changes. This pipeline might
include stages like code compilation, unit testing, integration testing, and
finally, deployment to production servers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Natural Language Processing (NLP) Pipeline:</u></b> In
NLP, a pipeline could be employed to process text data through various stages,
such as tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, named entity recognition,
sentiment analysis, and text summarization.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Audio Processing Pipeline:</u></b> In audio
processing, a pipeline might involve stages for audio file decoding, noise
reduction, audio feature extraction, speech-to-text conversion, and
text-to-speech synthesis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>Video Editing Pipeline: </u></b>In video editing, a
pipeline could include stages like video clipping, adding special effects,
transitions, audio synchronization, and video rendering.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These examples demonstrate how pipelines can be used to
break down complex tasks into manageable steps, where each step in the pipeline
performs a specific operation, and the output of one step serves as the input
for the next step. This modular approach to programming allows for easier
development, testing, and maintenance of software systems.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Introduction of Sitecore Pipeline<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sitecore Pipeline is a fundamental concept of the Sitecore
CMS architecture. It's a way of defining a sequence of steps that execute in a
particular order to handle specific events or processes within the Sitecore
request processing lifecycle. This approach allows for highly extensible and
modular development of Sitecore solutions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, I will provide an in-depth look at Sitecore
Pipeline with practical examples of how to leverage this architecture to extend
and customize Sitecore functionality.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div><span face=""Segoe UI",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><h2 style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Understanding Sitecore Pipeline</h2></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before diving into Sitecore Pipeline, it's essential to
understand the Sitecore request processing lifecycle. Sitecore request
processing lifecycle has various stages, and each stage is a specific event
that occurs within Sitecore.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When an HTTP request arrives at a Sitecore website, the
request is processed through various stages before rendering a response. Each
stage consists of one or more pipelines, and each pipeline consists of one or
more processors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A processor is a C# method that executes a specific
operation or handles a particular event within the request processing
lifecycle. The processor can modify the request, perform additional operations
or even prevent the request from proceeding to the next stage of the lifecycle.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div><span face=""Segoe UI",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><h2 style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Sitecore Pipeline Architecture</h2></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sitecore Pipeline architecture is based on the idea of a
sequence of processors that execute in a specific order. The sequence of
processors is grouped into a pipeline. Each pipeline executes at a specific
stage in the Sitecore request processing lifecycle.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Few types of pipelines in Sitecore are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>InitializePipeline</u></b> - Executes when an Sitecore
instance start.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>HttpPipeline</u></b> - Executes when an HTTP request
is made to the Sitecore website.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u>PublishPipeline</u></b> - Executes when the Sitecore items
are being publish.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each pipeline consists of a sequence of processors that
execute in a specific order. These processors can be Sitecore-built-in
processors, custom processors, or a combination of both.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div><span face=""Segoe UI",sans-serif" style="font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><h2 style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Creating Custom Processors</h2></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Creating custom processors is a straightforward process. You
create a C# method that performs the operation you want and then add it to the
pipeline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first step is to define the pipeline where the processor
will execute. You can add a processor to an existing pipeline or create a new
pipeline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Once you have identified the pipeline, you will define the
processor. In this step, you will create a C# method that performs the
operation you want.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After defining the processor, you will register it with the
pipeline. You can register the processor at the beginning or the end of the
pipeline or somewhere in between.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<h2>What is CorePipeline.Run()<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br />
CorePipeline.Run() is used in Sitecore when you want to execute a pipeline
programmatically. Pipelines in Sitecore are used to execute a series of
processors in a specific order. They are defined in configuration files and are
typically triggered by specific events or user actions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some situations where you might want to use
CorePipeline.Run():<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Implementing custom business logic:</b> If you have
custom business logic that needs to be executed as part of a Sitecore pipeline,
you can create a new pipeline and use CorePipeline.Run() to execute it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Modifying the behavior of existing Sitecore pipelines:</b>
If you need to modify the behavior of an existing Sitecore pipeline, you can
add your own processor to the pipeline and use CorePipeline.Run() to execute
it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Triggering pipelines programmatically:</b> If you need to
trigger a pipeline programmatically, for example in response to a user action,
you can use CorePipeline.Run() to do so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Integrating with third-party systems:</b> If you need to
integrate Sitecore with a third-party system that requires custom processing,
you can create a new pipeline and use CorePipeline.Run() to execute it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2>Monitor Sitecore pipelines<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are a few ways to monitor Sitecore pipelines:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Log files:</b> Sitecore writes detailed log files that
can be used to monitor pipelines. By default, Sitecore logs are located in the <i>App_Data/Logs</i>
folder. You can configure the logging level in the Sitecore configuration file
to get more detailed information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Debug mode:</b> You can also monitor pipelines in debug
mode by setting breakpoints in your custom pipeline processors and stepping
through the code. This can be useful for troubleshooting issues or testing new
pipeline functionality.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Pipeline Profiler:</b> It is a Sitecore tool that helps
developers to monitor the performance of pipelines in real-time <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk149204907">Pipeline Profiler is a Sitecore tool
that helps developers to monitor the performance of pipelines in real-time</a>.
It is a visual representation of the Sitecore pipeline events that occur during
an interaction with a website, such as page rendering or a form submission.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Pipeline Profiler can be accessed it from <i>/sitecore/admin/pipelines.aspx.</i>
It displays the execution time for each pipeline and the time taken by each
processor within that pipeline. This information can be used to identify
performance bottlenecks in the pipeline and to optimize pipeline execution.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2>Advantages of Sitecore Pipeline:<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Flexibility:</b> Sitecore pipelines provide a flexible
way to add, remove, or modify functionality at different stages of a process.
This allows for customizations without impacting the existing codebase.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Reusability:</b> Since pipelines are modular, they can be
reused in different contexts, making development faster and more efficient.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Maintainability:</b> Separating code into smaller, more
manageable pieces makes it easier to maintain and debug.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Extensibility:</b> Pipelines can be extended with new
processors to meet changing business requirements.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<h2>Disadvantages of Sitecore Pipeline:<o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Overhead:</b> Pipelines can add some overhead to
processing times, especially if there are many processors involved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Complexity:</b> Understanding the Sitecore pipeline model
and how to work with it can be complex and requires some experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Performance:</b> While pipelines can be used to optimize
performance, if not implemented carefully, they can have a negative impact on
performance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Debugging:</b> Debugging pipeline issues can be
challenging because of the number of processors involved and the complex
interactions between them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<h2>When not to use Sitecore pipelines?</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">While Sitecore pipelines offer a lot of benefits, there are
some situations where they might not be the best fit. Here are some cases where
using pipelines may not be ideal:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Simple, straightforward tasks:</b> If a task is simple
and straightforward, it may not require the use of a pipeline. For example, if
you only need to update a single item, you could do that directly without
creating a pipeline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Performance-critical tasks:</b> While Sitecore pipelines
are very flexible and powerful, they do have some overhead associated with
them. If you have a task that needs to be performed as quickly as possible,
using a pipeline may add too much overhead and slow things down.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Tight coupling between components:</b> If components
within your application are tightly coupled, it may not make sense to use a
pipeline. Pipelines are designed to loosely couple components, so if there is
already a tight coupling between the components, adding a pipeline may just add
unnecessary complexity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Inflexible requirements:</b> If the requirements for a
task are very rigid and not likely to change, it may not make sense to use a
pipeline. Pipelines are designed to be very flexible and adaptable, so if the
requirements are unlikely to change, you may not need that level of flexibility.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we have explored the Sitecore pipeline
framework and how it can be used to perform various tasks in Sitecore. I have
covered the basics of how pipelines work, how to configure them in Sitecore,
and some examples of how they can be used.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By understanding the Sitecore pipeline framework and how to
use it effectively, developers can create more powerful and flexible solutions
in Sitecore. With this knowledge, you will be able to leverage the pipeline.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Sitecore Content Hub is a powerful tool for managing digital assets and content. When it comes to integrating Content Hub with your Sitecore instance, you may encounter some weird challenges. One of the issues that users may face is the "<i><strong>Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream</strong></i>" error. In this article, we will explore the causes of this error and how to resolve it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>The Scenario</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Imagine you have a Sitecore instance running on Azure PaaS, and you've installed the Content Hub connector. Everything seems to be working smoothly – you can retrieve images and links from the Digital Asset Management (DAM) system and display them in Image and Rich Text fields. However, trouble arises when you attempt to use the "<i><strong>Insert DAM link</strong></i>" feature within the General Link field. Instead of successfully inserting a link, you encounter the perplexing "Authentication failed" error.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScNxiNfy1HH2Sl8uPzbUpOznBODYYz3AcFEdwsXqhJBMukp0YZYzNCgIa7TOnK_FNcaTixPbaxfibQ92BdZAUiNybM4-NyEwft7tOl0rUKlMYh7Oel5ZW97ztaeyTBS7-Zwj8nT-ZebsFaXSlLnqTQF49_q2Z5-KqsVwdQ96v0SH165A27l3XMmiI00Q/s733/tmp_bf9a0bb4-e7f8-4116-b796-9981b1d8aef4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="General link field error for Sitecore Content Hub" border="0" data-original-height="653" data-original-width="733" height="570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjScNxiNfy1HH2Sl8uPzbUpOznBODYYz3AcFEdwsXqhJBMukp0YZYzNCgIa7TOnK_FNcaTixPbaxfibQ92BdZAUiNybM4-NyEwft7tOl0rUKlMYh7Oel5ZW97ztaeyTBS7-Zwj8nT-ZebsFaXSlLnqTQF49_q2Z5-KqsVwdQ96v0SH165A27l3XMmiI00Q/w640-h570/tmp_bf9a0bb4-e7f8-4116-b796-9981b1d8aef4.png" title="General link field error for Sitecore Content Hub" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">General link field error for Sitecore Content Hub</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Initial Troubleshooting</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Naturally, our first instinct is to check our credentials. We've logged into Content Hub in another browser tab, and there don't seem to be any issues with authentication for Image and Rich Text fields. The problem only arises when interacting with the General Link field as</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Checking internal code</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Digging deeper into the issue, we examine the code responsible for communicating with the Content Hub API. This line of code is executed exclusively when we use the "<i><strong>Insert DAM link</strong></i>" command within the General Link field which basically retrieves additional properties.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><i>value = GetAdditionalPropertyValue(chKey, DAMHelper.GetEntity(long.Parse(result[Constants.SelectedAssetId])));</i></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Suspecting TLS Issue</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">At this point, we might suspect a Transport Layer Security (TLS) issue, as TLS configuration can sometimes lead to connectivity problems. However, we verify that our development environment is configured to use TLS 1.2, eliminating TLS as the root cause.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Azure VNET to the Rescue</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">With conventional troubleshooting avenues exhausted, we turn our attention to our Azure Virtual Network (VNET) configuration. After reviewing our VNET traffic rules, we discover the key to resolving the issue. We open up the traffic for the Sitecore Content Hub URL at the Azure VNET level.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>The Solution</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">To our relief, this Azure VNET setting proves to be the missing piece of the puzzle. Once we've made the necessary adjustments, the "<i><strong>Authentication failed</strong></i>" error becomes a thing of the past. The General Link field now functions seamlessly, and we can insert DAM links without encountering any connectivity problems.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Finally</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Troubleshooting errors like "<i><strong>Authentication failed because the remote party has closed the transport stream</strong></i>" can be a complex process. It often requires a systematic approach to identify the root cause and find a solution. In this case, a careful examination of the code, consideration of TLS configurations, and ultimately, the adjustment of Azure VNET settings, resolved the issue.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">By sharing this experience, we hope to assist others who may encounter similar challenges when using Sitecore Content Hub connectors. Remember that troubleshooting can be a learning opportunity, and persistence often leads to a successful resolution.</p>Surendra Kumar Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12589257934828782060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958907594199172036.post-91718492593538861682023-09-04T16:33:00.001+05:302023-09-04T16:33:38.660+05:30Troubleshooting Sitecore Content Hub Connector Authentication Issue with General Link Fields
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Sitecore Content Hub Connector is a powerful tool that enables seamless integration between Sitecore and Content Hub. This integration allows content authors to easily access and manage digital assets from Content Hub within Sitecore. However, like any integration, it can encounter occasional issues. In this blog post, we'll discuss a specific problem some users have faced: an authentication error when working with General Link fields in Sitecore.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>The Scenario:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">You've set up Sitecore 10.3 on Azure PaaS and successfully integrated it with Sitecore Content Hub using PowerShell installation script. Everything seems to be working fine like RichText and Image field able to get images from Content Hub successfully. But while using the "<i><strong>Insert DAM Link</strong></i>" option within a General Link field, you encounter an error message that says, "<i><strong>Unable to authorize with the specified credentials.</strong></i>"</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Troubleshooting the Issue:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Let's walk through the steps to diagnose and resolve it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Review Connection String:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">The actual Content Hub user password is "123456789$ASDfghjkl", but when I checked connection string, I notice that the password for the Content Hub user is truncated, like "123456789$". This "$" sign in the password can be the root cause of the problem.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Password Correction:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">To resolve this issue, simply correct the password in your connectionstring.config. Change it to "123456789$ASDfghjkl " or whatever your actual password is without the "$" sign.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Root Cause:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">PowerShell script have a problem with "$" sign. PowerShell script can truncate your password and update your ConnectionStrings.config file with wrong password. So need to update connectionstring.config file manually with correct and full password.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Testing</strong>:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">After making this correction, test the "Insert DAM Link" functionality in the General Link field again. You should no longer encounter the authentication error.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><strong>Lessons Learned:</strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Never keep $ sign in password while installing and running Powershell scripts for installing Sitecore Content Hub Connector. </p>Surendra Kumar Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12589257934828782060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958907594199172036.post-47039270887236232632023-08-31T11:58:00.000+05:302023-08-31T11:58:59.594+05:30Connection to Your Rendering Host Failed with a Body Exceeded 2MB Limit<div>In the ever-evolving landscape of digital experiences, Sitecore JSS (JavaScript Services) combined with Next.js has emerged as a powerful duo for building headless websites.

<p>· The script tag and full path of the script must be specified in the data source.</p>
<p>· The script can be used in a template data source, a data source location, or a rendering data source.</p>
<p>· The script must return either one item or a list of items for Sitecore to display to the end user.</p>

Sitecore 10.3 is available in the market and offers many new features, including headless SXA and web hooks. The new Sitecore forms use an Embeddable Form Framework, which means that you can create the forms within Sitecore and use them on any type of website, regardless of the technology used.</p><div>
<p>The benefit of this is that you can collect data from non-Sitecore-based websites and import it into the Sitecore website. This feature is similar to the old FXM feature.</p>
<p>Here are the steps to implement it</p>
<p>· Install Sitecore 10.3</p>
<p>· Rebuild the master and web index</p>
<p>· Install Sitecore Headless Service 21.0.0</p>
<p>· Create and publish an API key</p>
<p>· Create and publish a new form in Sitecore</p>
<p>· Download the Sitecore Embeddable Forms</p>
<p>· Copy the CSS folder and Javascript file to your website's root folder</p>
<p>· Specify the form ID in your HTML or PHP website</p>
<p>· Include the script in your HTML or PHP page</p>
<p>· Pass the API key to the script</p>
<p>· Specify any necessary CSS elements on your HTML or PHP page</p>

Before understanding web hooks, let's try to understand the concept of hooks in general life. Just like we have hooks in our home to hang clothes or fishing hooks, these hooks can hold two different things and join them. Similarly, in programming, web hooks can allow interaction between different applications.</p><div>
<p>When two different web applications are present, they can be interacted through a callback function. One application can receive real-time notifications through an event. For instance, if something is happening in application one, it will trigger a notification for the other application, which will receive it in code terms. Web hooks can be used in two places: events and workflows. Whenever an item is created, deleted, copied, published or a workflow is submitted, these actions are considered events.</p>
<p>Web hooks can be used to track these events. Sitecore will send information about the event in terms of a JSON request payload to the other application. The Sitecore HTTP post request will be sent to the other application with the payload in JSON or XML format. The other application will receive the request and further process it. There are three types of web hooks that can be created: web hook event handler, workflow, and validation actions.</p>
<p>Here are the steps to implement</p>
<p>· In Sitecore, web hooks can be created through the System section and Web Hooks option.</p>
<p>· To create a web event handler, select a specific event (item added, copied, deleted, etc.).</p>
<p>· Specify the URL for the other application and enable the event.</p>
<p>· A demo was shown with a method created in the Target application to receive input from Sitecore and save it to a file.</p>
<p>· When an item was added in Sitecore, the event was triggered and a file was created on the local machine with the input received from Sitecore.</p>

<p>By default, all items created within the Sitecore are sorted alphabetically. However, if the position of the items has been changed by the content author, the list may not be sorted. In this case, sorting the items manually by clicking on the "up" or "down" option for each item would take a lot of time, especially if there are hundreds of items under a single parent item.</p>
<p>To solve this problem, the easiest way is to select the folder and click on the " sorting" option. This will open a "sort order" window where you can sort the items by different options such as "created date" or "reverse". To reset the order, simply click on "reset", and the items will be sorted accordingly.</p>
<p>This feature is hidden and simple to use, so I hope you will take advantage of it in your project.</p>

In recent weeks, this technology has been a hot topic of discussion. Chat GPT is a dialog-based artificial intelligence chatbot that can answer your questions in a conversational manner. It's developed by OpenAI, a well-known research lab. The best thing about Chat GPT is that it is stateful, meaning it can remember previous questions and respond accordingly within the same context. You can find more information about Chat GPT on the OpenAI website.</p><div>
<p>As a developer, one use case for Chat GPT is to migrate CSV or Excel data to Sitecore. For example, if a client asks for assistance in migrating data, a developer can use Chat GPT to determine the best approach for accomplishing this task. The first step is to find out the different ways to migrate data and choose the best option. Once the data is migrated, the developer can assign icons, create packages in Sitecore, and publish the items.</p>
<p>The Chat GPT home page provides lots of information about the technology and can be used to help with a developer task such as migrating Excel file data to Sitecore. By asking Chat GPT for help, the chatbot can provide information on different methods, such as using a custom script or a C# code. Chat GPT can even provide the necessary code to complete the task, such as a C# script or a PowerShell script. The developer can then copy and paste the code into their application and test it.</p>

</p><h1>Introduction:</h1>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">Alt text
is a crucial part of website accessibility</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">and SEO, as it provides a description of
the content of an image to people with visual impairments. Sitecore provides
various ways to set Alt text for images, from manual to automatic using AI. In
this article, we will explore the different ways to set Alt text for images in
Sitecore, including manual, via C# code, via PowerShell, using Config setting
"Media.AutoSetAlt", and AI with sample code.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1f3763; mso-ascii-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Calibri Light";">Manual:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">The most
basic and straightforward way to set Alt text for images in Sitecore is to do
it manually. You can do this by uploading the image to the Media Library and
setting the Alt text manually in the "Alt" field of the image. When
you click on the image, you will see the editing options on the right-hand side
of the screen. In the "Alt" field, add a description of the image,
which will be read by screen readers.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<h3><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1f3763; mso-ascii-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Calibri Light"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Calibri Light";">AI with image tagging:</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">This
approach uses Azure Cognitive Services' Computer Vision API to generate a
description of an image and sets it as the alt text of the corresponding image
item in Sitecore using C# code.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">The steps
involved in this approach include installing the Azure Cognitive Services
Computer Vision NuGet package, creating an instance of the ComputerVisionClient
class with your subscription key and endpoint, and calling the
AnalyzeImageAsync method to get a description of the image.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">The
retrieved description is then set as the alt text field of the image item in
Sitecore using the Sitecore API. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">This
approach can be useful when you have a large number of images in Sitecore that
require alt text descriptions, as it can automate the process of generating
descriptions and setting them for each image item.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Segoe UI",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Segoe UI";">However,
it's important to note that the accuracy of the generated descriptions may vary
depending on the image and the complexity of its content. Therefore, it's
recommended to review and potentially modify the descriptions as needed to
ensure they accurately reflect the content of the image.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

want to set Alt text for images programmatically, you can do so using C# code.
You can use the Sitecore API to set the Alt text for an image. Here is an

<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">Sitecore is a leading digital experience platform that empowers organizations to deliver personalized and engaging digital experiences to their customers. As with any technology, there are constantly new tools and trends emerging in the Sitecore ecosystem that can impact an organization's digital strategy. A <b>Sitecore technology radar </b>can help organizations stay informed about these changes and make informed decisions about which technologies to adopt, trial, assess, or hold. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><b>Sitecore technology radar</b> typically consists of four rings, each representing a different level of adoption and maturity for a particular technology: Adopt, Trial, Assess, and Hold. Let's explore each of these rings in more detail. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYuGvIInN0Qvk0ZoYCnohpiqSDh-XhoggcYTO44JmHnUiEjep8fuElusJjBR6Cki4FfWHhEGkw3QyDQA-2MVkKFjBXIvIe9L8tNSTOLFNW1_JBKOnhwCFR-UhYdaPQvvFtfxqR2gA_h28z39P1Yyq18MuS_w2P2lvq6xPYszw0DfEgs07LEWayjYyD/s1534/tmp_e9a0482f-d0d5-428a-9f64-093a8c079209.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Sitecore Technology Radar" border="0" data-original-height="1079" data-original-width="1534" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYuGvIInN0Qvk0ZoYCnohpiqSDh-XhoggcYTO44JmHnUiEjep8fuElusJjBR6Cki4FfWHhEGkw3QyDQA-2MVkKFjBXIvIe9L8tNSTOLFNW1_JBKOnhwCFR-UhYdaPQvvFtfxqR2gA_h28z39P1Yyq18MuS_w2P2lvq6xPYszw0DfEgs07LEWayjYyD/w400-h281/tmp_e9a0482f-d0d5-428a-9f64-093a8c079209.png" title="Sitecore Technology Radar" width="400" /></a><br /><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><b>Adopt</b> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">In the Adopt ring, technologies are widely adopted and proven to be effective in the Sitecore ecosystem. These technologies are generally stable and reliable, and organizations can confidently use them to support their business needs. Some examples of technologies in the Adopt ring for Sitecore include: </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sitecore Experience Platform (XP) </li><li>Content Hub DAM </li><li>Sitecore JSS (JavaScript Services) </li></ul><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><b>Trial</b> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">In the Trial ring, technologies are emerging and have shown potential, but are not yet widely adopted. Organizations may experiment with these technologies to gain experience and assess their potential value. Some examples of technologies in the Trial ring for Sitecore include: </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sitecore XM Cloud </li><li>Sitecore SXA (Sitecore Experience Accelerator) </li><li>Sitecore CDP </li></ul><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><b>Assess</b> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">In the Assess ring, technologies are on the horizon and are being evaluated for their potential value. These technologies are not yet fully understood, and organizations need to carefully evaluate their potential benefits and risks before making any decisions. Some examples of technologies in the Assess ring for Sitecore include: </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>OrderCloud </li><li>Sitecore Search </li></ul><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><b>Hold</b> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">In the Hold ring, technologies are no longer recommended for use. These are technologies that have become outdated, are no longer supported, or have been replaced by newer technologies. Some examples of technologies in the Hold ring for Sitecore include: </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sitecore Commerce </li><li>Web Forms for Marketers (WFFM) </li><li>Sitecore Experience Database (xDB) </li></ul><p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">By regularly reviewing and updating their Sitecore technology radar, organizations can stay ahead of emerging trends and make informed decisions about which technologies to adopt, trial, assess, or hold. This can help organizations to optimize their Sitecore digital experience and stay competitive in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;">Here is the Youtube video for the same!!!</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TeXBO134bDg" width="427" youtube-src-id="TeXBO134bDg"></iframe></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"><br /></p>Surendra Kumar Sharmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12589257934828782060noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6958907594199172036.post-25257129903298780292023-04-10T10:49:00.002+05:302023-04-10T10:50:56.899+05:30Reasons to move from Sitecore XP to Sitecore XM Cloud<pre style="overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As businesses continue to evolve and innovate, their digital strategies and web development needs must also adapt.

If you currently have a Sitecore XP MVC-based website, you may be wondering why you should consider moving to Sitecore XM Cloud and Next.js. Today, we will explore some of the key benefits of making the move, and why it could be the right choice for your business.
Here are some of the key reasons why businesses may want to consider moving from Sitecore XP to Sitecore XM Cloud:

<p>Essentially, a secondary CMS is an additional system that works in conjunction with your existing primary CMS to help manage specific areas of your website. This can be a useful solution in situations where your primary CMS is unable to handle certain tasks.</p>
<h2>Scenarios where a Secondary CMS may be a good fit</h2>
<p>There are several scenarios where using a secondary CMS may be a good fit for your organization. These include:</p>
<p><strong>Managing localized content:</strong> If your business has a global presence and needs to create content for different regions, a secondary CMS can help manage localized content. This can include different languages, cultural nuances, and other region-specific content.</p>
<p><strong>Digital asset management:</strong> If your business has a lot of digital assets that need to be managed, a secondary CMS can help keep them organized and easy to access.</p>
<p><strong>Marketing automation:</strong> If you need to manage and distribute marketing campaigns across multiple channels, a secondary CMS can provide additional functionality that your primary CMS may not offer.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile application content management:</strong> If you have a mobile app, a secondary CMS can be used to manage the content that appears within the app.</p>
<p><strong>eCommerce management:</strong> If your business operates an eCommerce store, a secondary CMS can provide additional functionality to manage your products, orders, and customer data.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Benefits of using a Secondary CMS</h2>
<p>The benefits of using a secondary CMS include:</p>
<p><strong>More tailored solutions for specific needs: A</strong> secondary CMS can provide a more tailored solution for specific tasks that your primary CMS may not be able to handle.</p>
<p><strong>Improved efficiency:</strong> By using a secondary CMS, you can increase your efficiency and save time by automating certain tasks.</p>
<p><strong>Improved user experience:</strong> A secondary CMS can improve the user experience of your website by making it easier to manage specific content.</p>
<h2>How to choose the right Secondary CMS</h2>
<p>When choosing a secondary CMS, it's important to consider the following:</p>
<p><strong>Compatibility with your primary CMS:</strong> Make sure the secondary CMS is compatible with your primary CMS.</p>
<p><strong>Functionality:</strong> Consider the features and functionality of the secondary CMS to make sure it meets your needs.</p>
<p><strong>Ease of use:</strong> Choose a secondary CMS that is user-friendly and easy to use.</p>
<p><strong>Integration:</strong> Consider how the secondary CMS will integrate with your existing technology stack.</p>
<h2>Implementation of a Secondary CMS and best practices</h2>
<p>When implementing a secondary CMS, it's important to follow best practices, including:</p>
<p><strong>Proper training:</strong> Ensure that your team is properly trained to use the secondary CMS.</p>
<p><strong>Data migration:</strong> Make sure to migrate all relevant data to the secondary CMS.</p>
<p><strong>Ongoing maintenance:</strong> Maintain the secondary CMS and keep it up-to-date with the latest updates and security patches.</p>
<p>In conclusion, a secondary CMS can provide a tailored solution for specific needs that your primary CMS may not be able to handle. By carefully choosing the right secondary CMS, you can improve your efficiency and provide a better user experience for your website visitors.</p>
<p>Sitecore offers SaaS based CMS Content Hub One which is a good fit for secondary CMS.</p>
<p>For example, your client uses Sitecore as their primary CMS with extensive integration and customization, and may even run it as an on-premises solution. Now, they are interested in using a lightweight, SaaS-based CMS for mobile apps and marketing activities, instead of going through the time-consuming, resource-intensive, and costly process of upgrading Sitecore, it would be wise to consider secondary CMS options such as Content Hub One. Generally try to choose a single-family product CMS for your technology stack, as this usually results in better compatibility and ease of use.</p>

We are all familiar with the "Publish" option in site work, which is used to make changes to the content live on a particular environment.</p><div>
<p>There are three types of publishing you can do - <b>Incremental, SMART, </b>and<b> Republish</b>.</p>
<p>Let's consider a scenario where you are working on a global website with content authors from all around the world. If one content author starts a publish in one country and another author submits a publish request from another country, the requests will be added to a queue. The second author's changes will only be published once the first author's changes have been completed.</p>
<p>However, if your client asks you to publish a specific item right away, it can become a tricky situation because the item will be added to the queue. In such a scenario, you can use the hidden feature of the Sitecore called "<b>Transfer</b>".</p>
<p>To demonstrate this feature, we will publish an entire website, open it in another window, and publish it again. The request will be added to the queue. In a third window, we will make changes to a item, say "Thank You".</p>
<p>To use the transfer feature, we will go to the "Publish" site and select "Republish". In the next step, we will make changes to the "Thank You" item and save it. Normally, when we publish the changes, they would be added to the queue. But with the transfer feature, we can copy the "Thank You" item and select "Transfer".</p>
<p>We will then move the item to the "Article” Folder, and the changes will be updated on the web database without going into the queue. The full publishing that we did earlier will still be in process, but our changes are already visible on the website.</p>
<p>This is a useful trick to know, although it's rarely used.</p>

<p>This feature allows you to expose your item data in JSON format in read-only mode. It is incredibly easy to use and configure. To do so, you need to create an OData item API at the settings, services API key section. After you have created it, you can specify its fields, for example, core, allowed control. You can also specify the database to which you want to get the item details. In a production environment, it is mostly on the web.</p>
<p>Once you have configured it, you can access your items by using the Sitecore domain name followed by the OData services API and the item ID or item path. You also need to pass the OData services API key. For example, if you want to access the details of a home item with ID and three fields (title, text, and address), you can use this URL and pass the API key. You will get the item properties such as the item name, path, language, template, creation date, and ID.</p>

<p>To get the field values, you need to pass the query string "$expand=field value".</p>
