The structure of an SCCPL transformation

The following example shows the structure of a SCCPL package.

You can fine-tune your Sitecore solution to match your needs by using SCCPL packages. There are two different approaches to doing this:

• Adjust your current SCCPL.

  Note

  If you choose this option, you must branch and merge on updates.

• Create a new SCCPL based on your current SCCPL in the Cargo folder, (the Cargo folder includes SCCPLs). Then, include the relevant SKU file, (in $SKU.packaging.config.json, you can learn how to process a SCCPL).

  The following table outlines the basic Sitecore SCCPL packages:

  Package	Description
  Sitecore.Cloud.Search.Azure.sccpl	Transforms the web.config file using the Azure Cognitive Search provider. It is also a patch to add the ConnectionStrings.config file to the cloud.search connection string.
  Sitecore.Cloud.ApplicationInsights.sccpl	Copies the Application Insights configuration files to both the*/base and the App_Config/Sitecore/Azure/* folders, and the assemblies files to the*/bin* folder. The ConnectionStrings.config file also transforms to add the appinsights.instrumentationkey connection and updates the web.config file with the Application Insights configuration.
  Sitecore.Cloud.DisableAnalytics.sccpl	Applies the current SCCPL for the XM WDPs. This disables the Analytics and XConnect connection strings in the ConnectionStrings.config file and turns off the Xdb.Enabled setting in the Sitecore.Xdb.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.DisableExm.sccpl	Applies the current SCCPL for the XM WDPs. This disables the EXM connection strings in the ConnectionStrings.config file and turns off the EXM.Enabled setting in the Sitecore.EmailExperience.Core.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.Common.sccpl	A common SCCPL for all WDPs. The main actions of this package include: Setting the data folder to D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data Preparing a placeholder for a Sitecore license Disabling the Sitecore.Diagnostics.config file Changing the value of the customErrors modesetting to "Off" (customErrors mode="Off")
  Sitecore.Cloud.HttpsRedirection.sccpl	A common SCCPL for all WDPs. This package transforms the web.config file to apply https redirection.

  Sitecore.Cloud.Redis_CD.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the CD WDP to the XM and XP topologies, and enables the Redis cache configuration and connection strings.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_CD.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the CD WDP to the XM and XP topologies. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDProle to ContentDelivery in the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the CDrole in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_CM.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the CM WDP to the XM and XP topologies. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDProle to ContentManagement in the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the CMrole in the connectionstrings.config file
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_DDS.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the DDS role to the XP topology. The main action of this package is: Setting the WDP role to ContentManagement, DedicatedDispatch in the web.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_PRC.sccpl	Sets the correct connection strings list for the DDS role and applies the PRC WDP for the XP and xDB topologies. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDP role to Processingin the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the PRCrole in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_REP.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the CM WDP to the XP and xDB topologies. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDP role to Reportingin the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the REProle in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_XDBSingle.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the Sitecore Single WDP to the xDB Single topology. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDP role to Processing, Reporting in the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the Single (PRC+REP) role in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_XMSingle.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for the Sitecore Single WDP to the XM Single topology. The main actions of this package include: Setting the WDP role to ContentManagement, ContentDeliveryin the web.config file. Setting the correct connection strings list for the Single (CM+CD) role in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.RoleSpecific_XPSingle.sccpl	Applies the SCCPL for Sitecore Single WDP to the XP Single topology. The main action of this package is: Setting the correct connection strings list for the Single (CM+CD+PRC+REP) role in the connectionstrings.config file.
  Sitecore.Cloud.Security.sccpl	Copies database accounts creation scripts to the website root and transforms the web.config file with security rules.
  Sitecore.Cloud.Security_CD.sccpl	Transforms the web.config file with security rules for the CD role.
  Sitecore.Cloud.SetCompatibilityLevel.sccpl	Copies the SQL server compatibility level scripts to the website root.
  Sitecore.Cloud.Thundercracker.sccpl	The main actions of this package include: Removing the UploadWatcherfolder functionality, (because it is not applicable for Azure). Changing the location of the Media.CacheFolder folder. Changing the PageStateStore and ViewStateStore settings to write to the DB.

The IOActions are described in .ioxml files with path and action attributes; the enable, disable, and delete action values; and the following structure:

<IOActions><IOAction path="App_Config\Include\001.Sitecore.Speak.Important.config" action="disable" />…</IOActions>
