Switch From On-Premises to Cloud Indexes
Switch From On-Premises to Cloud Indexes
Moving to Coveo Cloud indexes opens customers to a world of powerful relevance features, future readiness, and convenience.
There are many differences between a Cloud and an On-Premises index which require changes to your Sitecore configuration.
|
Because you’re changing the location of your indexes, you will also need to reconfigure all of your sources on Coveo Cloud, including those external to Sitecore. |
Step 1: Change Your Organization From On-Premises to Cloud
Coveo for Sitecore needs to have access to a Coveo organization, whether you’re using a Cloud or an On-Premises installation. However, those organizations are different for Cloud and On-Premises installations, which means that your Sitecore instance will need to connect to a different organization.
-
In the Sitecore Control Panel, under Coveo Search, select Configure.
-
Under Configure Coveo Cloud Organization, click Configure.
-
In the Coveo Cloud Organization panel:
-
If you already have access to a Cloud organization, select it, and click Next.
-
If you don’t have access to a Cloud organization, select Create new organization.
-
Under Organization configuration, choose a name for your organization.
-
Under Select your license plan, select Cloud Edition Trial.
-
Click Next.
-
-
-
Your Sitecore instance is now connected to a Cloud organization.
|
Note
A Standard Cloud, Pro Cloud, or Enterprise Cloud license is required for a production Coveo Cloud index. |
Step 2: Remove Deletion of AddAnonymousEmailUserIdentity
In an On-Premises installation, the AddAnonymousEmailUserIdentity
processor is deleted, as CES handles permissions on its own.
However, in a Cloud installation, it needs to be reactivated.
-
Open your
Coveo.SearchProvider.Custom.config
file using a text editor.Sitecore 8
This file is located under
<SITECORE_INSTANCE_ROOT>\Website\App_Config\Include\Coveo
