RE: Instant Campaign v1.3

Rahul Kumar Singh — Fri, 06 Nov 2020 11:57:22 GMT

when i try to download latest version 1.3.0 from https://appstore.sdl.com/web-content-management/app/instant-campaign/748/. it says you don’t have a license for one of the supported products (SDL Tridion Sites 8 - SDL Tridion Sites 9) in your account. BUT i thought Instant Campaign is free, open-source.

RE: Developing connectors using the new Tridion Integration Framework

Very nicely explained! Thanks for sharing this with us.

RE: TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2660.

danel young — Fri, 29 May 2020 10:43:02 GMT

This exception message says you're trying to connect to the same host ( 127.0.0.1 ), while you're stating that your server is running on a different host. This 127.0.0.1 represents a 'loopback' . It allows the computer to communicate with itself via network protocol .

Dns.GetHostEntry(IPAddress.Loopback).HostName returns the host name of your machine. When you pass a host name to TcpClient , it will resolve it to one or more IP addresses using Dns.GetHostAddresses(hostName) . This includes the public and local IP addresses of your machine (e.g. 192.168.12.10), but not 127.0.0.1 (loopback address). So your client is trying to connect to any of the non-loopback addresses of your machine, while your server is listening only on the loopback address . So, no connection can be established. The solution to this problem is that connect to the same end point your server is listening on.

Has this been tested in/is it supported in DXA 2.2?

Great to see templates for these, Nic. Should make development a lot easier to get started with.

Excellent Nic, very well explained article. Way forward to build new connectors.

RE: Simple Micro-services health check script

Dominic Cronin — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 19:22:23 GMT

Hi Gineka. Great that you've found a way to extend this technique. If you want to take it a step further, you can also query for the available capabilities. I recently added a recipe on Tridion Practice that shows how to do this. If you manage to integrate both techniques, you'll have a very generic tool. github.com/.../DiscoverEnvironmentCapabilities

RE: DXA in the Microsoft Azure marketplace

Ben Palmer — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 04:07:13 GMT

I tried this and it doesn't work on Azure.

I get '[InvalidServiceEndpoint: Invalid v4 service endpoint for content-service]' exception.

I checked the SDLSettings.config on the server and it is pointing to an azure instance with a discovery service.

Is there something wrong with the Azure DXA package or we need to do some extra configuration to make it work?
