Hi All,
Upgrading from Sitecore 10.1 to Sitecore 10.4
I recently had the opportunity to upgrade Sitecore from version 10.1 to
10.4. During this process, I encountered several issues and challenges that I
will outline in this series. My goal is to provide a detailed guide that others
can leverage to facilitate their own upgrades, potentially helping them avoid
similar pitfalls.
Steps for Upgrading to Sitecore 10.4:
- Prepare Your
Solution:
- Update the
NuGet references to align with Sitecore 10.4.
- Recompile your
solution using the updated Sitecore DLLs.
- Address any
breaking changes that arise.
- Prepare your
deployment artifacts.
- For further
details, refer to the "Solution and Sitecore Updates" blog
link.
- Backup and
Update the Database:
- Backup your
existing database.
- Update the
Sitecore 10.1.3 database, including any necessary module upgrades.
- Follow the
instructions provided for upgrading the Sitecore database and associated modules.
- Install
Sitecore 10.4 Instance:
- Install a new instance
of Sitecore 10.4.
- Modify the ConnectionStrings.config file to
connect the new Sitecore XP instance to the databases from the previous
Sitecore XP version upgraded in the previous step.
- Deploy Solution
Artifacts:
- Deploy the
Sitecore XP solution artifacts generated in step 1 to the new Sitecore XP
installation.
By following these steps, you can ensure a smoother transition from
Sitecore 10.1 to Sitecore 10.4. For additional guidance and detailed
instructions, please refer to the series next blog post.
General Maintenance
After completing the upgrade and updating any Sitecore modules you use,
and before starting to use Sitecore XP, you must:
- Clear the browser
cache
- Republish your
website to every publishing target
- Rebuild all
content search indexes
- Rebuild the
link databases
