Sitecore Commerce – XC9 Tips – Missing Commerce Components in SXA Toolbox on Experience Editor

I've recently had an issue that commerce components were missing in SXA Toolbox. I setup Sitecore Commerce on top of an existing instance and I already had a SXA website working on it. The idea was to add commerce components and functionality to my existing website.

But after commerce setup, the toolbox was still showing default SXA components and commerce components were missing although I add commerce tenant and website modules:


I checked Available Renderings under Presentation folder, there was no problem, commerce renderings were there. I created another tenant and website to see if it shows the commerce components in toolbox. Nothing seemed different but I was seeing commerce components for new website and it was missing on existing one.

Then, I noticed two things:

1- Selected catalog was empty in content editor (/sitecore/Commerce/Catalog Management/Catalogs) even if I see Habitat_Master catalog in Merchandising section on commerce management panel.

2- Bootstrap request in Postman was giving 500 Internal Server Error.

I checked the logs on Authoring server and I saw this error:

16 09:53:57 ERROR Connection id ""0HLL8B6A07B7H"", Request id ""0HLL8B6A07B7H:00000001"": An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.AntiforgeryValidationException: The required antiforgery header value "X-XSRF-TOKEN" is not present.
   at Microsoft.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.Internal.DefaultAntiforgery.<ValidateRequestAsync>d__9.MoveNext()
--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---

I needed to check two things:

1-  SSL certificate verification should be OFF in Postman (File > Settings). It was already configured correctly on my case.


2- "AntiForgeryEnabled" should be "false" in config.json file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CommerceAuthoring_local\wwwroot)

3- Recycle Authoring app pool from IIS

After I did these steps, bootstrap request worked properly.


This steps also fixed the issues I saw in content editor and experience editor. I was able to see Habitat_Master in Selected Catalogs.

And I saw commerce components in toolbox:

      Hi,

      What response you get when you run "Bootstrap()" request?

      I was getting 500 internal error and after changing "AntiForgeryEnabled" configuration I started to get 200 success response.

Sitecore 9 - Custom Page Events & Filtering with XConnect

This is the first article of a series. I am going to start with creating a custom page event and will show how we can fetch event data using xconnect api. Let's start with reminding demo scenario: Imagine that you have a website displaying movies. Visitors are able to see movie details and take some actions like save movie or share it.  You want to follow the visitors' activities and you want to take some marketing actions based on those activities. For example, if a contact visits a movie more than X time or she/he saves a movie, you want to send those movies to an external system. In addition, there is going to be a limit to send same movie. Such as, it will not be possible to send same movie more than 2 times.  You want to configure this as a marketing automation plan to give flexibility to your marketing managers. They should be able to add configurable rules and activities.  My first focus is movie detail page. I want to track visitors when they visi...

In this post, I am going to show how to setup postman and run the scripts. When you download Sitecore Commerce, it includes ready to use postman sample requests (inside Sitecore.Commerce.Engine.SDK.x.x.x folder). You need to import that postman folder to postman app. The steps are written in official documentation , just click import and choose postman folder. You will see some parameters in sample requests such as  {{SitecoreIdServerHost}}, {{OpsApiHost}}, {{OpsApi}} Those are environment based variables that you can change according to your environment details. When you click "setting" icon, you will see predefined environments: AdventureWorks and Habitat. For example, click "Habitat Environment" to edit its variables. You see that AuthoingHost is using port 5000, it is the default port if the that port is available. You can check which port is using your Authoring role from IIS. If your Authoring port is different than 5000, you ne...
