SDL 8.5 Experience Optimisation - Deployer Committing Failure

Question

Environment - SDL Web 8.5 Experience Optimisation Installation / Combined Deployer / Scaled-Out

I believe it's failing on the section which was requested to be added in via the docs ("Tridion-Process-PostCommit") - https://docs.sdl.com/LiveContent/web/pub.xql?action=home&pub=SDL%20Web-v5&lang=en-US#docid=GUID-E87C6C4B-C7F7-432D-8649-9EE6BCC613C8&addHistory=true&query=&scope=&tid=&filename=GUID-E87C6C4B-C7F7-432D-8649-9EE6BCC613C8.xml&resource=&inner_id=&toc=false&eventType=lcContent.loadDocGUID-E87C6C4B-C7F7-432D-8649-9EE6BCC613C8

Looks to me like I'm missing a JAR or something. All files were copied from the 8.5 Installation Folder as instructed in the docs.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

The requested added pipelines in the deployer-conf.xml have a spelling mistake in the documentation

<Module Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredHopperDeployerModule"
<Module Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredHopperUndeployModule"

should be

<Module Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredhopperDeployerModule"
<Module Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredhopperUndeployModule"

Hopper should be a lowercase 'h'

You will also see another issue if you follow the documentation. They tell you to add the extra XO Pipelines to the bottom of the file. The XO Pipeline sections must be before the "Tridion-Cleanup" section, otherwise you get an error.
