One of the frequent challenges we face is the absence of Analytics data in the Sitecore Experience Profile. This issue can be quite frustrating, but there is a solution. In this blog post, I will delve into the reasons behind the "The certificate was not found" problem and explain how to resolve it using Azure Managed Cloud Service PaaS. In this case, The very first step is analyzing logs on the CD and xConnect server. I have checked the xConnect Collection server's log and it seemed to stop, which suggested that there had been some issue with xConnect trying to collect the analytics data. In this case, I have to look into the CD server. I found a lot of xDB-related errors in the CD server, with a similar stack trace as below. Error: xDB unavailable when submitting contact The nested error seems to suggest the error is related to the missing client certificate required for xConnect and xDB communication. The amount of Submit Qu...

The Add New Member option is missing from the Schema page. I have been investigating one of the issues in our Content Hub environment. I tried to recall the steps when I encountered a similar issue, but it resolved itself automatically after some time. Here are the steps I performed: Go to the M.content schema using the Schema option from the dashboard. Select the Settings option from the three-dot menu at the top right corner. Enable the Taxonomy-enabled definition. After enabling this option, the Add new member button disappears, along with the Settings option, making it impossible to disable the setting again. The above screenshot I have taken from different CH environments to elaborate on the issue. Workaround: 1. As a preliminary step, I recommend that you try discarding any changes to the M.Content schema. After doing so, verify if the new members become visible. 2. If it's still not resolved, then this issue belongs to the C...

While working on the Content Hub project I received the requirement to get all the Content Entities of a specific Content Type from the Content Hub. For instance, if your Content Hub contains various types of content entities such as a Blog, Article, and News type and there are multiple entities of each content type. Here I am taking an example of retrieving all the Content Entities of the Blog type. To get the list of all the content types, you can use  Web Client SDK , there is a method to retrieve the single entity using the  Get entities method. Solution: 1. Create a sample console/web application in Visual Studio and add a reference to the Web Client SDK NuGet package (Stylelabs.M.Sdk.WebClient) to your project.  2. Before beginning to write the logic, you should have the Parent ID of the Content Entities that represent the ID of the Content-Type. To find the Content Type ID or Parent ID of a content entity from the Conten...

Sitecore Content Hub provides an Annotation feature, that you can use to review content, provide feedback and collaborate with others.  To mention a Content Hub user in an Annotation, Select the text in Content Entity, enter @ followed by a username, and select as many people as you want. When you mention a user, they receive an email with your comment and a link to the content entity. The issue is Sitecore Content Hub Provides a feature that you can mention the User but if there is a User group and you want any of them can review, approve, or take action on the entity so no such option we have in Sitecore to mention a User Group in an annotation.  I have checked with Sitecore and Sitecore submitted a feature request for the Content Hub product so that it can be considered for future versions of the product. To track the future status of this request, please use the reference number " FRM-2121 ". See the Sitecore documentation for How ...
