Manual steps for SXA (1.2 ➡ 1.3) upgrade converted to a new upgrade script.

Introduction

Recently I’v described how to upgrade SXA from 1.2 to 1.3 with SXA Upgrade Tool

If you read Sitecore Experience Accelerator Upgrade Guide you will notice following section 1.4 Manual steps.

If you haven’t done this yet, I’ve got good news. You don’t have to perform these manual steps, you can simply run an extra upgrade step.

Extra upgrade step

The script is very similar to other upgrade scripts. With one exception. I do not provide any package and integration with Upgrade Tool. Script has to be executed via ISE

Here is an example diff of tenant templates before and after running an extra upgrade step.

You can find the script code here

Summary

I won’t describe what exactly this script does because all details can be found in Sitecore Experience Accelerator Upgrade Guide.

Enjoy!
