Configuring after the upgrade
Depending on your upgrade scenario, you may need to perform some configuration tasks after the upgrade. This section lists those tasks. Note that after you have completed these tasks, you must instruct users of the Content Manager Explorer interface to clear their Internet cache
- New identity of TDSE objects created by Event Handler
If your implementation contains 5.3 or 5.3 SP1 Event Handler code, reconfigure the identity of the user associated with executing this code. - Reconfiguring the Content Manager Explorer Web site
Several steps may be required to restore Content Manager Explorer. - Updating the URLs without HTTP authentication setting
Upgrading to SDL Tridion 2013 or later requires you to extend the URLs that must be excluded from HTTP authentication. These URLs are defined by a regular expression in the Urls without HTTP authentication setting in the MMC Snap-in. - Configuring Experience Manager on the Content Manager
If you are upgrading from an SDL Tridion implementation that had SiteEdit installed, perform a number of tasks to upgrade this setup to work with Experience Manager. - Optional Reconfiguring the Content Manager Explorer Web site for HTTPS
If your Content Manager Explorer Web site was originally accessible through HTTPS, you need to perform some additional configuration to make it accessible through HTTPS again. For more information, refer to the installation topics. - Optional Reconfiguring the Content Manager Explorer Web site for LDAP
If your Content Manager Explorer Web site was configured for LDAP, you need to redo a number of Web site configurations after the upgrade. - Reverting to your old design theme
When you upgrade SDL Tridion, the visual design of the user interfaces are updated to the new look–and–feel. If you want to keep using the existing visual design, you need to make changes to each Editor's configuration file. - Hiding workflow-related GUI controls after upgrade
As of SDL Tridion 2013, by default, the Content Manager Explorer and Experience Manager GUIs show a Things To Do panel, used for workflow-related functionality. If you do not use, nor intend to use, workflow in your implementation of SDL Tridion, you can hide this panel. - Indexing or reindexing search after the upgrade
After your upgrade, (re)indexing of the search index is required. - Applying the SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 HR1 hotfix for Safeguard
If you are using the Safeguard feature, contact SDL Customer Support to obtain and apply the SDL Web Hotfix calledXPM_2013.1.1.3571. Note that this hotfix includes changes to your configuration. Follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file included in the hotfix. - Configuring and reinstalling compatible add-ons
After upgrading to SDL Tridion 2013 SP1, some compatible add-ons will require you to perform additional configuration such as applying hotfixes. In the case of WebForms, you should have uninstalled the product before upgrading so you will need to reinstall WebForms.
