"Cache cleared" and EPiServer Application Reboot

December 19, 2018, 4:47 am
$

I have a website where I use Episerver CMS 11 and also Commerce. I have an issue on my site where it is occasionally unresponsive for up to a couple of minutes. When recovered from this period of unresponsiveness, I have noticed the following line consistently in my log:

2018-12-13 00:14:15,167 [1] WARN EPiServer.Core.Internal.ContentCacheRemover: Cache cleared

The mystery-cache-clear is logged about 4-8 times per day, and seems to follow no pattern (except on 03:00 every day when I recycle app-pool in IIS). For example, this 24-hour period:

2018-11-11 03:00:27,079
2018-11-11 08:03:05,568
2018-11-11 12:12:04,301
2018-11-11 16:36:37,739
2018-11-11 19:48:09,106
2018-11-11 22:48:15,181

In my dev environment, I can trigger the "Cache cleared" message by running an iisreset.

I have noticed a warning event logged in windows Event Viewer -- under System -- for most of the periods of unresponsiveness, but not all.

Source: WAS, ID: 5011, Message:
A process serving application pool 'MyPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '3788'. The data field contains the error number.
Source: WAS, ID: 5010, Message:
A process serving application pool 'MyPool' failed to respond to a ping. The process id was '4500'.

My questions:
1. When/why does EPiServer log the "Cache cleared" message?
    1.a Is the message logged consistently on startup?
2. My theory is that the EPiServer app is rebooted, and that the cache is cleared on initialization.
    2.a Under what conditions can I expect EPi to reboot itself?
    2.b Under what conditions can I expect IIS to reboot EPi?
3. Other theories?

Thumbnail Manager should respect checked in image type

We are making using of image renditions on our websites.  We do not like the fact that the ThumbnailManager does not respect the image type that we have checked in in turn has png hard-coded as the extension of all the renditions that are kicked back.  Support explained to us that the reason that this was done this way was because, "According to R&D this was done as PNG is the most optimized format for the web." Our expectation is that if we choose to check in a jpg, then the rendition should be returned to us a jpg, not png.

Commerce 11.

I have used this as a reference point: https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/commerce/orders/using-the-return-order-form/

And while I can create and process a return in code I am missing a few bits of information that I can't seem to set in code.

Specifically the Totals information and the Total Before Return value on the line items (see image) I can't see any documentation which indicate how these are done.

Any documentation or help would be great.

Hello All,

I am starting out my journey into EpiServer and trying to spin up the AlloyDemo application. I am playing around with Users and associated permissions (more specifically Publishing a page). I ran into an issue where the Publish "popup" is not showing up. When I see the console I get the following error. This error goes away and the Publish popup comes up correctly when I uninstall the EPiServer.Marketing.Testing (I am not sure about the dependency between the Marketing.Testing and popups)

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'contentData' of null

How to hide or delete items in content area programmly

There is a requirement to show a different message depending on the day of the week in the page's header area.

For example, display "Hello Monday" on Monday, display "Hi Tuesday" on Thursday.

So I created a content area and added all messages to it and try to remove unnecessary message items in the controller.

like:

if(items[i] no need to show today){

currentPage.NotificationBlock.Items.RemoveAt(i)

}

but got error says "it's readonly property cannot remove it".

Is there some way we can do that?

CreateMetaField is not adding entry to mcmd_MetaField table

December 5, 2018, 5:53 pm

We're having an issue where the Business Foundation API for creating a new MetaField on a class is not working properly.

This is the code that I'm executing:

using (var myEditScope = DataContext.Current.MetaModel.BeginEdit())
{
	metaClass.CreateMetaField(name, friendlyName, typeName, isNullable, defaultValue ?? string.Empty, attributes);
	myEditScope.SaveChanges();
}

And this does create the column in the MetaClass's own SQL table, but it does not add an entry to the mcmd_MetaField table.

I've experimented with a few different approaches, and have tested it with various MetaFieldTypes (Integer, String, DateTime, etc) but keep getting the same result. I've double checked that I'm adding the correct attributes (I am checking against the MetaFieldBuiler code as a reference).

What really has me scratching my head is that this has always worked on previous projects reliably for me, and even in the early days of this project.. I guess maybe something is uniquely wrong with our state of data perhaps, but I can't figure what could have changed to cause this..?

We're using Commerce v12.11 (with CMS v11.10.6).

Anyone have any ideas/tips?

ImageProcessor Help Request

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to take to take Vincent Baaij's ImageProcessor.Web.Episerver for a test drive, but I'm failing hard trying to get it to work. I've been trying for a couple of days now and I'm not sure what else to try.

The goal is to actually use the Azure version as we're running in DXC, but i've tried this and the local version in our codebase to no avail.

I had done little more than install the package and build to get:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

Not sure where to start or what info to provide here so I'll start with the exception being thrown:

Exception thrown: 'System.NullReferenceException' in ImageProcessor.Web.Episerver.Azure.dll

The stacktrace shows the following:

at ImageProcessor.Web.Episerver.Azure.AzureBlobCache..ctor(String requestPath, String fullPath, String querystring)

These are the packages I have installed:

<package id="ImageProcessor" version="2.6.2.25" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="ImageProcessor.Plugins.WebP" version="1.1.0" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="ImageProcessor.Web" version="4.9.3.25" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="ImageProcessor.Web.Config" version="2.4.1.19" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="ImageProcessor.Web.Episerver" version="5.0.0.40599" targetFramework="net461" />
<package id="ImageProcessor.Web.Episerver.Azure" version="5.1.0.38549" targetFramework="net461" />

The web.config seems to have the all the entries it needs (pointers to the config files, imageprocessormodule etc).

I can successfully use something like:

PictureUtils.GetPictureData(Url.ContentUrl(Model.Image), ImageTypes.HeroImage, true);

to return a url like:

http://localhost:49945/siteassets/images/hero-banners/advanced_hero_reimagine_your_business_no_text_v001.jpg?width=1280&mode=crop&heightratio=0.5625&quality=80

but any image I attempt to GET that has the query string appended to it results in a 500 error. Remove the ?... and the image is retrieved correctly.

Any thoughts as to where to start?

When loading a page in OnPageEdit I first see a warning in the console: 

"Observable store detected, but no sort order specified. You may experience quirks when adding/updating items.  These can be resolved by setting a sort order on the list or grid."

If I try to edit any of the blocks, I get lots of "The store was queried with a [string] but the entity id is a [undefined]" errors.

The error is reported by widgets.js inside Episerver Shell ClientResources folder (version 10.7.1).

Does anybody know what is causing this?

Add button to TinyMCE and keep configured buttons?

Hi!

We have built a TinyMce plugin that is installed via Nuget. We want to add an extra button to the toolbar but since it is a plugin we want to keep the configured buttons and just add our button last.

Everywhere I read it says that you must use Toolbar() to get the button to show.

public void ConfigureContainer(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
        {            
            context.Services.Configure(config =>
            {
                config.Default().AddExternalPlugin("myplugin", "/script/plugin.js")
                .Toolbar("myplugin");
            });
        }

Using this code will clear all buttons and just add mine. How do I keep all configured buttons and just add mine?

Thanks!

Episerver search - regenerate the index

Hi All,

How do you rebuild the Episerver Search index? (Not episerver find)

I've deleted the contents of my index from the file system, and was hoping by manually triggering the Index Content tool, it would rebuild and regenerate all of the files. The tool being this one: /EPiServer/CMS/Admin/IndexContent.aspx

However, it doesn't. When deleting the generated files and running the tool I'm getting some exceptions:

ERROR EPiServer.Search.IndexingService.IndexingService: Reset of index: '' failed. Index not found!

ERROR EPiServer.Search.Internal.RequestHandler: Could not reset index '' for service uri 'http://localhost/IndexingService/IndexingService.svc/reset/?namedindex=&accesskey=local'. Message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()

I need to flush out the index as I'm experiencing some problems with new content not getting indexed...

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm having some issues with the scheduled job that empties the recycle bin and need to force some content to have been deleted more than 30 days ago so that I can test and debug. When debugging I can see that it checks for changeTrackable.Saved so I would like to manually change this in the DB so that I can test.

I can't find where this value is stored does anyone know where this is? I've checked tblContent and tblWorkContent and the value I'm seeing when debugging is not in either of these tables.
