Configure publishing targets
The Experience Edge Connector uses the Internet publishing target (which uses the Web
database) by default, but you can create and use a publishing target (with a dedicated database) specific for Experience Edge.
To create a publishing target with a dedicated database for Experience Edge:
-
Create a new database.
-
In the Content Editor, navigate to sitecore/system/Publishing targets.
-
Add a publishing target item, and set the value of the Target database field to the name of the new database.
-
Create a configuration patch file similar to this:
RequestResponsexml<configuration xmlns:role="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/role/" xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/" > <sitecore role:require="Standalone or ContentManagement"> <settings> <setting name="ExperienceEdge.PublishingTargetId"> <patch:attribute name="value">{8E080626-DDC3-4EF4-A1D1-F0BE4A200254}</patch:attribute> </setting> </settings> </sitecore> </configuration>
The settings are in the
Modules/ExperienceEdgeConnector/ExperienceEdgeConnector.config
file.
If you create a database for the new publishing target, update the database name in the crawlers section in ExperienceEdgeConnector.Search.Solr.Index.config
file
