Switching from TDS to Unicorn – some useful verifying SQL scripts
On of my project we switched from TDS to Unicorn. After we configured Unicorn and set up dependencies between configurations I wanted to verify that every item was migrated from TDS (*.item) to Unicorn (*.yml) in the database successfully.
Solr install – Unrecognized VM option ‘PrintGCDateStamps’
I wanted to install Solr 6.0.1 on my brand new laptop for Sitecore 8.2 after I already installed Solr 7.2.1 for Sitecore 9.1. I thought it will be easy because I have already a Java environment installed. I had 2 issues.

return evaluate();
This is the injected specific validation method which is passed as a parameter.

WebEdit.AffectWorkflowForDatasourceItems – collect datasource children items
