Referencing the Tridion.ContentManager.config

Image
By
There are times when you need to create a new Session (i.e. Tridion.ContentManager.Session) in TOM.NET. This is considered bad practice, for reasons I'm not going to dwelve into here.

By default, when attempting to create a new instance (e.g. Session session = new Session()),  you get a run-time exception: The type initializer for 'Tridion.Localization.StringResourceManager' threw an exception. This can be fixed by referring to the Tridion.ContentManager.config file from your application's app.config, web.config, or DLL.config.

Make sure your config contains at least the following lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <section name="tridionConfigSections" type="Tridion.Configuration.ConfigurationSections, Tridion.Common, Version=3.0.0.211, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=349a39f202fa9b53" />
    </configSections>
    <tridionConfigSections>
        <sections>
            <clear />
            <add filePath="C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\config\Tridion.ContentManager.config" />
        </sections>
    </tridionConfigSections>
    <startup>
        <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />
        <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
    </startup>
</configuration>
 
In my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion is my %TRIDION_HOME%. Make sure you use the correct path on your system.

Content Delivery Monitoring in AWS with CloudWatch

By
This post describes a way of monitoring a Tridion 9 combined Deployer by sending the health checks into a custom metric in CloudWatch in AWS. The same approach can also be used for other Content Delivery services. Once the metric is available in CloudWatch, we can create alarms in case the service errors out or becomes unresponsive. The overall architecture is as follows: Content Delivery service sends heartbeat (or exposes HTTP endpoint) for monitoring Monitoring Agent checks heartbeat (or HTTP health check) regularly and stores health state AWS lambda function: runs regularly reads the health state from Monitoring Agent pushes custom metrics into CloudWatch I am running the Deployer ( installation docs ) and Monitoring Agent ( installation docs ) on a t2.medium EC2 instance running CentOS on which I also installed the Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) ( installation docs ). In my case I have a combined Deployer that I want to monitor. This consists of an Endpoint and a

Running sp_updatestats on AWS RDS database

By
Part of the maintenance tasks that I perform on a MSSQL Content Manager database is to run stored procedure sp_updatestats . exec sp_updatestats However, that is not supported on an AWS RDS instance. The error message below indicates that only the sa  account can perform this: Msg 15247 , Level 16 , State 1 , Procedure sp_updatestats, Line 15 [Batch Start Line 0 ] User does not have permission to perform this action. Instead there are several posts that suggest using UPDATE STATISTICS instead: https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/145982/sp-updatestats-vs-update-statistics I stumbled upon the following post from 2008 (!!!), https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/186e3db0-fe37-4c31-b017-8e7c24d19697/spupdatestats-fails-to-run-with-permission-error-under-dbopriveleged-user , which describes a way to wrap the call to sp_updatestats and execute it under a different user: create procedure dbo.sp_updstats with execute as 'dbo' as

Event System to Create Mapped Structure Groups for Binary Publish

By Unknown
As a continuation of last week's Publish Binaries to Mapped Structure Group , this week's TBB is in fact the Event System part of that solution. Make sure you do check out the previous post first, which explains why and what this Event System does. To reiterate, the Event System intercepts a Multimedia Component save, take its Folder path and create a 1-to-1 mapping of Structure Groups. The original code was written, again, by my colleague Eric Huiza : [ TcmExtension ( "MyEvents" )] public class EventsManager  : TcmExtension {     private Configuration configuration;     private readonly Regex SAFE_DIRNAME_REGEX = new Regex ( @"[\W_]+" );     public EventsManager() {         ExeConfigurationFileMap fileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap ();         fileMap.ExeConfigFilename = Path .GetDirectoryName( Assembly .GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + "\\EventSystem.config" ;         configuration = ConfigurationManager
