Importance of flushing memory

As we know in our day to day life how important 'Flush' is :),But that teaches us same thing in our programming life as well

Let me share a scenario where i faced the issue,In our day to day life of deadlines,Sometimes we forget to write the code which is actually needed there,You achieved the best with your code but you do not achieve the better sometimes

The Scenario :

I before few days created export to CSV and export functionality of my one of the list (Grid),It was importing the data very well,But on the close examination of data i found out that its inconsistent data,At some point of time it stopped writing the data and from that point onward there were no data in exported file.

Following is the code.


HSSFRow row = wsheet.GetRow(i);
for (short j = 0; j < row.LastCellNum; j++)
{

     HSSFCell cell = row.GetCell(j);
     string strValue = string.Format("\"{0}\",",   Convert.ToString(cell.RichStringCellValue.String));
       StreamWriter.Write(strValue);
       
 

}
StreamWriter.WriteLine();
StreamWriter.Flush();

If you see above code you do not find any issue,Same happened with me,I tried debugging it over and over,logging the operation but surprising thing was in log each and everything was coming,And i end up finding the issue was below

Issue The mistake i did was i was not clearing our StreamWriter from memory by flushing the memory and hence it was creating issue,One single statement introduced and woooo...issue got resolved like below


HSSFRow row = wsheet.GetRow(i);
for (short j = 0; j < row.LastCellNum; j++)
{

     HSSFCell cell = row.GetCell(j);
     string strValue = string.Format("\"{0}\",",   Convert.ToString(cell.RichStringCellValue.String));
       StreamWriter.Write(strValue);
       StreamWriter.Flush();
 

}
StreamWriter.WriteLine();
StreamWriter.Flush();

Everything started working as it should be,Simple but very important to follow the theories.

401.1 Unauthorized with windows authentication error code 0xc000006d

How many of you have faced this hosting issue when you do everything what it takes to run the site with windows authentication but still you are getting the same error again and again? If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

Set up leprechaun code generation with Sitecore XM Cloud Starterkit

Hi Sitecorians, It has been amazing learning year so far and with the change in technology and shift of the focus on frontend frameworks and composable products, it has been market demand to keep learning and exploring new things. Reasons behind this blog Today's topic is something that was in my draft from April-May, and I always thought that there is already a good documentation out there for  Leprechaun  and a blog post is not needed, Until I realized that there was so many of us facing same kind of issues and same kind of problems and spending same amount of time, That is where I thought, if I could write something which can reduce that repetitive troubleshooting time, That would really help the community. 1)  In a project environment, if we get into some configuration issues, we resolve them, we make sure we are not blocked and continue, but if you think same issue, same step and same scenario will come to other people, so if we can draft it online, it will help othe...

Error in Sitecore 10.3 XM with CDs - Could not find configuration node: database/database[@id='master']

Hi Team, Recently we came across two distinct scenarios with same error message.  1) We started getting below error when we try to hit our layout service API endpoint. If we hit end point of CM, it was working fine and when we try to hit end point of CD it was giving this error, It was clear there is something in backend expecting master DB instead of WEB DB In first scenario my colleague  Jatin  also got same issue while setting up docker instance for 10.3, and my friend  Akshay Barve  and I had the same observation. 2) Second scenario I was having the same exception, It was another project on 10.3 XM with CD, It was one of the migration project so we were migrating from 10.2 to 10.3, Older site was not giving any error but new site the moment we hit, it was giving same exception in the log Issue in second scenario was in site grouping there was only site and both CM and CD URLs were given in host name and had WEB db as database, so basically there was no previ...
