MongoDB 4.0.6 setup in Sitecore 9.3

Question

I'm trying to setup mongoDB 4.0.6 analytics in Sitecore 9.3 instead of Default SQL analytics.

Are there any detailed guides on setting up mongo db for sitecore 9.3 ? I can't seem to find any documentation at all.

Thanks for the help!

Depending on your setup topology you can take a look at the 6.1 Configure MongoDB Provider for xConnect section in the installation guide provided in the sitecore documentation for 9.2 https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore_Experience_Platform/92/Sitecore_Experience_Platform_92_Initial_Release.aspx

It should be working as based on https://support.sitecore.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0633863 for example 4.0.5 is compatible with 9.2 and 9.3

These would be the following steps:

• Enable the sc.Xdb.Collection.Data.MongoDb.xml.disabled configuration file by removing .disabled extension.

• Disable sc.Xdb.Collection.Data.Sql.xml configuration file by adding the .disabled file extension.

• Update the collection connection string to point to the MongoDB instance. It will look like this <add name="collection" connectionString="mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/usms_collection" /> You must also update the collection connection string in the indexer job that exists under the following roles:

     XP Single (XP0): xConnect
     XP Scaled (XP1): xConnect Collection & xConnect Collection Search
  

• Rebuild the xDB search indexes in Solr
