Sitecore SIF Extensions

A small project for SIF Extensions I created to install client's environments using SIF

Tasks

ManageSolrCloudCollection

Similar to ManageSolrCore from SIF but altered to talk to the Collections endpoint of SolrCloud to enable executing actions against it. https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_1/collections-api.html

Example JSON

{
    "Tasks": {
        "CreateCollections":{
			"Description" : "Tells SolrCloud to create the new collections.",
            "Type": "ManageSolrCloudCollection",
            "Params": [
                { "Action": "Create", "Address": "[parameter('SolrCloudUrl')]", "Arguments": { "name": "[variable('Core.Name')]", "numShards": "[parameter('NumberOfShards')]", "collection.configName": "[parameter('SolrCloudConfigName')]", "property.update.autoCreateFields": "false" } },
                { "Action": "Create", "Address": "[parameter('SolrCloudUrl')]", "Arguments": { "name": "[variable('Master.Name')]", "numShards": "[parameter('NumberOfShards')]", "collection.configName": "[parameter('SolrCloudConfigName')]", "property.update.autoCreateFields": "false" } },
                { "Action": "Create", "Address": "[parameter('SolrCloudUrl')]", "Arguments": { "name": "[variable('Web.Name')]", "numShards": "[parameter('NumberOfShards')]", "collection.configName": "[parameter('SolrCloudConfigName')]", "property.update.autoCreateFields": "false" } }
            ]
        }
    }
}

ManageSolrCloudConfiguration

Standard SIF will move and modify configuration on disk but this doesn't work for a SolrCloud. This task can talk to the ConfigSets API https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_1/configsets-api.html to handle introducing the right configuration for Sitecore Solr Indexes.

Special note: Ensure that you ZIP using 7-zip or similar tools to create a configset to upload, packages created by PowerShell or Windows will fail

Example JSON

{
    "Tasks": {
        "UploadConfig":{
            "Description" : "Uploads the configuration to SolrCloud if it doesn't exist yet.",
            "Type": "ManageSolrCloudConfiguration",
            "Params": [
                { "Action": "upload", "Address": "[parameter('SolrCloudUrl')]", "Arguments": { "name": "[parameter('SolrCloudConfigName')]" }, "ConfigZipPath": "[parameter('SolrCloudConfigZipPath')]" }
            ]
        },
    }
}

SitecoreUrlFixed

There is a bug in the SitecoreUrl SIF Task that will cause the authentication part to fail because it includes a parameter that will trigger the password reset instead of logging in. This task fixes this. (Was required for https://gist.github.com/IvanLieckens/c5d99be61404ca5cbc3c2bcf5b5da379)

Example JSON

{
    "Tasks": {
        "ImportLanguagePack": {
            "Description": "Import the language pack.",
            "Type": "SitecoreUrlFixed",
            "Params": {
                "SitecoreInstanceRoot": "[concat('https://', parameter('DnsName'))]",
                "SitecoreActionPath": "[concat('sitecore/admin/ImportLanguage.aspx?db=', parameter('Database'), '&file=', variable('File.QueryString'), '&lang=', parameter('Languages'))]",
                "UserName": "admin",
                "Password": "[parameter('SitecoreAdminPassword')]"
            },
            "Skip": "[or(not(parameter('File')), not(parameter('AdminPage')))]"
        }
    }
}
