XM Cloud - Reference environment configuration 'xmcloudlocal' doesn't exist

Hi Team,

Recently, I have been setting up XM Cloud instance in my local and sending some changes back to XM Cloud, and for that i needed to do serialization of the content from cloud to local and than local to push into XM Cloud.

Because i was using the documentation given on 

Walkthrough: Setting up your full-stack XM Cloud local development environment (sitecore.com) 

Because if you are like me, you just follow the steps first to see how things work, in one of those steps, i encountered below exception 


 Error

Reference environment configuration 'xmcloudlocal' doesn't exist"

With my surprise, because i am following the documentation steps, so it should just work, i double checked that i have not missed any steps, The site documentation was mentioning below 

I double checked my user.json file to see if i have this ref value as "xmcloudlocal" available or not, and with my surprise, it was not there, but i had entry with ref "xmcloud", so i change my above command to below

dotnet sitecore connect --ref xmcloud --cm https://xmcloudcm.localhost --allow-write true -n local

and command just worked, to double check this behavior i created a Sitecore ticket asking them if the documentation needs to be updated? Because clearly everyone will get same error if they follow it, and they acknowledged the behavior and reproduced on their end and promised to send a documentation change request at their end

I hope this will be corrected soon.

High CPU to completely normal CPU - SXA issue, SXA pages not loading in mobile device

  Hi Team, Today i am going to share one of the nightmarish issue with you all, We are having Sitecore 9.1.1 hosted in azure PaaS environment Our site was working just fine and no noise, but we have been working on a feature release where 7-8 months of development needed to be released to production, Big GO LIVE event right?  Also to make the development smoother we also introduced BLUE/GREEN deployment slots in the same release, so we can easily SWAP slots and go live Everything went well, we went live, we even did load and performance testing on our staging and pre-prod and we were confident enough of results Very next day we started getting "SITE DOWN" alerts, and also product owners and clients mentioned that site is very slow for them in US time and in our morning when we were accessing it, it was working lighting fast so we were clue less at start, but we started digging  1) First thing caught our eyes were HIGH CPU spikes, in US time, also without any traffic CPU u...

One or more exceptions occurred while processing the subscribers to the 'item:creating' event

I was recently installing the packages from one of the QA environment to my local Sitecore instance, "Media library package" to be precise, And it started giving me this below error One or more exceptions occurred while processing the subscribers to the 'item:creating' event Looking at the sitecore logs, it gave me more info on the context and the actual inner exception was following Solution: 'Name' should consist only of letters, digits, dashes or underscore Now it was evident that some of my file names were violating the naming rule, I could see in the log just before exception from where the installer stopped creating items, and that file name had round braces "(" and ")" at the end of it, with my surprise I was able to create the item with those name in the content tree, but below was the solution for it, Solution I am using SC 9.0.1 and in that Go to Sitecore.Marketing.config file residing in "App_Config\Sitecore\Mar...

Every Sitecore Instance using GQL is prone to this scenario of template not found - Sitecore Component With GQL Queries Broke On Production

Hello Team, Today, I wanted to share a real scenario and a solution of it about what happened  suddenly to our components and how we identified it and how we resolved it, and most importantly it could happen to your installations too Scenario We have one Sitecore 10.2 headless instance and two sites, One site is non-sxa which is legacy site and another site is a new site which uses headless SXA. Now, non-sxa site is already live and working fine with all components etc. and the new headless site was in development and it has separate development team, So we have same DEV/UAT/PROD environments. One fine morning they took their code and site on environment but strangely some of the GQL components like header footer of legacy site disappeared.  Troubleshooting Steps 1) We checked the broken component's GQL query  2) We took that query and fired it in GQL IDE, and we observed that, Some of the templates references we used were not found, which was working just fine and we hav...
