Dear Sitecore Community,
In case you missed two of my posts on Sitecore 9.1 here they are:
- Sitecore 9.1 Failed to start Marketing Automation Service
- Sitecore 9.1 – Sitecore Analytics is not working
As mentioned in my last post, here is a list of checkpoints that we had for checking whether the Plain Sitecore 9.1 instance that we installed manually is working as expected or not.
- Verify Solr is running on the Solr server as Windows service
- Verify that Sitecore loads on {url}/sitecore/login
- Verify Sitecore cache is working at {url}/sitecore/admin/cache.aspx
- Verify Sitecore showconfig page is loading at {url}/sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx
- Verify if the KeepAlive is properly configured or not.
- Verify if you can build the indexes from Sitecore Control Panel
- Verify if xConnect loads
- Verify if Marketing Automation windows service is running
- Verify if Processing Engine windows service is running
- Verify if Search-IndexWorker windows service is running
- Verify if log files are getting created are generating properly. Check for any errors
- Verify Identity Server is turned off
- Verify if Sitecore Content Editor loads
- Verify if the changes on publishing are reflected on the CD instance
- Verify if Analytics data is getting updated on Dashboard
- Verify the IIS user has access rights to the Web root
- Complete the Post Installation steps like Rebuild link databases, Rebuild Search indexes,Deploy Marketing Definitions
Credit for getting this list ready goes to our amazing team mates with whom I am working – in no particular order – Yogini Zope, Mahek Chaniara, Kiran Patil, Venkat Phani Aburi & Irfan Masurkar
I know there can be a number of points that we can add to this checklist, so if you find something which you checked and was useful, do share it with me and I would like to add it to this list, so that it can help other community members.
Hope this helps.
Happy Sitecoring! 🙂
