Post Upgrade Activities

Finishing upgrade process on each of the instances is the first part of the upgrade execution.


The next important thing is to perform all post-upgrade activities. This checklist should be prepared before the upgrade depending on the AEM version, service packs, hotfixes, project specific changes done.
The major activities that we did as a part of post-upgrade activities are - 
  1. Post upgrade tasks like 
    1. disabling online compaction from operation dashboard
    2. Cleanup repository folder
    3. Felix Http Jetty Upgrade
    4. Increase ulimit
  2. Configuring Cold standby - 
    1. Here is how to deploy it - https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy/recommended-deploys/tarmk-cold-standby.html
    2. Some of the important things that needs to be taken care here are - 
      1. Do not run offline compaction on the standby. It is not needed and it will not reduce the segmentstore size.
      2. In case the primary instance fails for any reason, you can set the standby instance to take the role of the primary by changing the start runmode of standby to primary. Before this, make sure to remove the current primary from the load balancer
      3. Size on repository in the standby instance should be twice the size on the primary
      4. Once the primary instance fails and standby is made as new primary, consider creating a new standby instance for the new primary.
  3. Delta content migration
    1. All paths that needs to participate in delta content migration should be planned well before
    2. Delta content migration is exactly similar to normal AEM migration

Some SDL Tridion Interview Questions…

Many of my friends keep asking me to provide some interview questions related with SDL Tridion . Surprisingly, there are hardly any site available for questions related with SDL Tridion., though you can find host of sites for other WCMs like AEM and Sitecore. Hence, I thought to put some basic Tridion related questions on the basis of my experience with it. I know it may require several improvements but thought to share something for someone who is looking to get some Tridion related questions to start with. I will be glad to incorporate any suggestion you have. Development phases related questions - What is the development methodology recommended by SDL for development/integration based on SDL Tridion? Have you participated in any Blueprinting workshop, please share the experience? What are the inputs required in BluePrint? How can inheritance of content flow be altered explicitly? What are priority and ranking in Blueprint? What are the inputs required for Content Modeling

A case for 'strategy' in Digital Strategy...

I recently finished a book named 'Digital Strategy' by Alexander Rauser. Alexander has given current day problems during any Digital transformation and pragmatic solutions for that. Having worked in the IT industry for 17 years and last 10 years mostly into Digital Transformations for most of the fortune 500 companies, it was quite relevant to me. If you are also part of any digital transformation of any organization in any capacity, you will find it helpful too. Over the last decade, companies have thought of digital strategy as a means to market new technology or recognize upcoming trends. However, today few of those companies do realize that Digital Strategy is all about continuously improving your business to stay ahead in the curve, but some are still stuck in the old mindset. It's surprising to see  'Strategy' is missing from the Digital Strategy for many of the transformations happening, rather the focus is just on 'Marketing' (Digital Marketing
