This one is a doozie, I tell ya. I was firing up Experience Profile in a client’s Production environment, and it was empty. Which was not accurate. Trust me, it shouldn’t have been empty. So a quick peek at the network traffic showed this: So yeah. Lemme call up that administrator. Me: Hello Me? Also…

Form Designer Fails to Load
We were recently greeted with an error from the Sitecore Forms Designer, and it made me scratch my head a little bit. The whole “You must have Sitecore xDB installed and robot detection in Experience Analytics configured to enable robot detection” message made no sense given our setup. That’s…not ideal I scratched my head because…

Here’s the code we were using: public class XConnectFormDataModel { public XdbModel Model { get; } = BuildModel(); private static XdbModel BuildModel() {…

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve worked on the Windows Hosts Writer (WHW) and based on some feedback, a few changes were made: Now, WHW will listen to ANY network by default.

Step 3: Profit! I mean…they wrote one So I did what anyone new to Sitecore would do. I trusted the documentation. Now, before…
Docker Quality of Life: JSON over YAML
