Ghanendra's Tips

Hello!! This year started with a bang for me as I got my first Sitecore MVP title. This year, I have mostly worked on Sitecore 10.1.1 as part of IT team of an accounting services organization. Due to my nature of work, I dont have exposure to different projects exploring variety of new Sitecore tools and technologies (like my other fellow MVPs have), but I have used this year to upgrade my learning and dig deeper into Sitecore XP on which I primarily work. Below are my contributions this year -  Sitecore Blogs Below are the links to all my blogs which I have published in year 2022 on Sitecore.  https://ghanendras.blogspot.com/2023/02/experience-of-first-time-sitecore-mvp.html https://ghanendras.blogspot.com/2023/02/make-sitecore-instance-faster-using.html https://ghanendras.blogspot.com/2023/03/solr-search-facet-values-limited-to-100.html https://ghanendras.blogspot.com/2023/06/testing-sitecore-with-selenium-nunit.html https://ghanendras.blogspot.com/2023/08/animated-gif-files-become-n

 The Problem I was setting up publishing service for Sitecore instance and then published a few items but my publish jobs kept failing as in snapshot below -  I found below error in publishing service logs - 2023-11-08 23:00:26.790 +05:30 [Error] There was an error performing the publish during stage: "" System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred.

 The Problem I was working on Sitecore installation on a new machine. Everything was running smooth but the SOLR service always ended up in PAUSED state.  The Research I tried stopping the service and then starting it using NSSM multiple times but it did not help. Then I thought of removing and recreating the service but again no help. And then it was followed by a machine restart and the service still ended up in PAUSED state.  I started googling about this issue and found answers suggesting that may be JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set or may be JAVA is not installed. I opened my command prompt to execute  echo %java_home% to get value for JAVA_HOME environment variable and it returned a blank value. This proved there is definitely an issue with JAVA setup on my new machine.
