Sitecore 10.2 Headless SXA is looking for "master" db on CD server

Hi Folks,

Sometimes you are trying to troubleshoot one thing and end up solving another :), How many of you have ended up same? 

Well, I was actually troubleshooting the high CPU and no. of requests on CD was trying to find some error patterns from Sitecore logs for one of the issues we were facing, there was one specific error which we kept observing was below

Exception

and if you drill further down into it, Sitecore was looking for master DB on CD servers, which is not possible, so definitely, this is bug

I previously faced the same error but for other assembly and to troubleshoot and resolving that the approaches were different but for both meaning of the error is same, for 10.3 where i got the error is drafted here Error in Sitecore 10.3 XM with CDs - Could not find configuration node: database/database[@id='master']


Troubleshooting

It was clear that because some the code which is in "VersionInitializer" class of "SItecore.XA.Foundation.Upgrade.dll" is referring to "master" database on a CD server.

So, I just tried dissembling the DLL to understand what's going on and you can see below

It is clearly seen that code is referring to wrong DB instead of the context DB, it is "master" DB and that is the reason of the error

Solution

Further troubleshooting and research suggested that this can be safely ignored, and this comes only when the instance is starting, but just to keep our logs clean we just commented out below lines from "\App_Config\Modules\SXA\Foundation\Sitecore.XA.Foundation.Upgrade.config" of CD instance


and that is the suggested approach from Sitecore.

An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

You have noticed many times that everything was working fine and suddenly the below error starts coming and you find no way to work it out An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details. The reason for this is the receiving size of WCF service is smaller then the data which is coming from service It was working before because it was small,So you will have to try to increase the receiving setting in your end point,Possible settings can be following maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" That would definately help you!!!

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...
