I'm facing null reference issue with multiple CM Sitecore Setup. Below is the environment details.

Very minimal access to infrastructure.

DisableClientBrowsing is set to true.

Scalability Setting config is disabled.

Scalability Settings configuration must be enabled for a multiple CM setup.

What most likely happens here is, that you're clicking a content item that the CM that has since been deleted on one of the other CM instances but the change has not been reflected. This is what Scalability Settings does for you.

You must also ensure your EventQueues are enabled. I believe Scalability Settings config does this, but double check it to be sure.

  • I have enabled Scalability Settings file on both CM servers and now have unique instance name like SCCM1 and SCCM2. I am still facing the same issue. Do you know the name of Event Queue settings. I'm unable to find the same.

@Mohit Dharmadhikari

<setting name="EnableEventQueues" value="true"/>

It is under Sitecore.config you can refer https://sitecorebasics.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/basics-of-sitecore-event-queue/ blog for more details on this.

  • Could you please elaborate your answer? Right now, it doesn't say what you should do with the piece of XML you posted. So you're getting dangerously close to a link-only answer.
