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.

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 ...

Why Digital transformation are harder to execute for Europe than US?

  I found some stark differences of working style in both the regions’ people. Most of the Indian IT companies are trying to consolidate their position in Europe after a level of saturation in US, UK, Australia and other English speaking countries, and probably most of them are struggling in Europe, though they executed projects for English speaking countries. Most of the projects including Digital Transformations even I got to chance to work on in my career were for US based customers. However, recently I got chance to work with some European giants. I thought to share my learnings & experiences after directly working with some of the big European accounts. Communication barrier - As I pointed above, Indian IT companies succeeded for most part in English speaking countries, in executing the project to completion. One of the prominent reason I think is since English is sort of primary language for all Indian companies. However, for most of the European countries English is ...
