Configuring the CD server (Only for ZIP package installation)

If you are using the ZIP package to install SXA on scaled topology (eg: XM1, XP1), you will have to configure CD server manually.

Warning

The Azure app service has a timeout set to 230 seconds per request. If you install SXA on an existing Azure Sitecore solution, consider scaling up to a higher service tier temporarily to prevent a request timeout from occurring.

When you deploy SXA to a CD environment, you should download the Sitecore Experience Accelerator CD package, unzip the package, and copy the files in the website folder.

If you set up an XM scaled (XM1) topology, add this key in the <appSettings> section in the Web.config file on your CD server:

<add key="sxaxm:define" value="sxaxmonly" />
