Completing the upgrade of the Content Service

If you are upgrading the Content Service, and if you were using the DXA Model Extension, then, after performing the generic upgrade procedure for a Content Delivery microservice, install the DXA Model Extension, which ships with the Tridion Docs product.

Procedure

  1. On your Tridion Docs installation media, navigate to the folder Content Delivery\roles\content\add-ons\.
  2. Download the following extension package:

    udp-content-dxa-extension-assembly-n.n.n-xxx-core.zip

    Where:

    • n.n.n corresponds to the specific release of Content Delivery you are using, such as version "11.5.0" and is the required version for your implementation. Refer to the related topic on Tridion product compatibility for details of supported versions.
    • xxxx is a build number and matches your file from your installation media.
  3. Restart the Content Service, passing the path to the ZIP file by adding the following command line switch:
    --extension=URL

    where URL is the URL of the file you want to add. (Alternatively, if you have the file on your local file system, you can pass the local file system path to the file.)

  4. From the Manage tab of the Add-ons screen, check the status of the uploaded DXA Model Extension. If deployed successfully, the Content Service will report a "Success" status.

Results

After installation, the DXA Model Extension is exposed through the usual Public Content API endpoint: /cd/api
