Sitecore config patch update sharedSessionState to mongo

Trying to apply the configuration patch to update the shared session state to use mongo per doco below: https://doc.sitecore.net/sitecore_experience_platform/setting_up__maintaining/xdb/session_state/walkthrough_configuring_a_shared_session_state_database_using_the_mongodb_provider

However bit stuck with best way to patch it. One option is to delete the sharedSessionState node and add the mongo settings.

Any help will be good.

Solution

  • You don't need to remove existing <sharedSessionState> node. Just use the patch below:

    <configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
  <sitecore>
    <tracking>
      <sharedSessionState>
        <patch:attribute name="defaultProvider">mongo</patch:attribute>
        <providers>
             <add
                 name="mongo"
                 type="Sitecore.SessionProvider.MongoDB.MongoSessionStateProvider,
                 Sitecore.SessionProvider.MongoDB"
                 connectionStringName="session"
                 pollingInterval="2"
                 compression="true"
                 sessionType="shared"/>
        </providers>
      </sharedSessionState>
    </tracking>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>

    Just remember to add it after Sitecore.Analytics.Tracking.config file.
