Troubleshooting Sitecore 10.3 XP Headless SXA Next.js : Handling No component rendering/Missing 'sxa-header' Placeholder in Partial Designs

The issue I encountered In my scenario, I created a partial design named " Header " which generated a Signature " header " and a Placeholder Item  named "Header" with the Placeholder Key " sxa-header ".  I integrated partial design into the  page design , and linked this page design to my  home  page. However, when I tried to access my home page in the Experience Editor, I observed that no components were rendering. Note : When creating a partial design, it should automatically generate the associated placeholder items. These items will bear placeholder keys prefixed with "sxa," resulting in names like "sxa-<<signature name>>." Cause The value in the Layout service configuration within the site settings (sxa-jss) does not align with the layoutServiceConfiguration value in Sitecore.JavaScriptServices.Apps.config (jss). To verify both the values please follow below steps: Navigate to /sitecore/content/[Tenant Name

Install Sitecore JSS Service: Installation of Sitecore JSS Service is a breeze, especially if you've had experience installing packages in Sitecore before. Prerequisites: Valid Sitecore JSS License: To confirm if you possess a valid license, you can check your license.xml file for the presence of ' Sitecore.JSS .'

Failure of SIF Pre-Requisites Installation for Sitecore 9.2 Due to Web Platform Installer

Prerequisite Installation Error During On-Premises Server Setup While setting up a on-premises server for Sitecore 9.2 Habitat project, I encountered the following error during the installation of the Sitecore prerequisites. It appears that Microsoft has relocated the download location for Web Platform Installer v5 . For our on-premises installation, Sitecore furnishes us with SIF scripts to automate the installation of prerequisites, sparing us the manual download and installation of all the required software on a new server. However, this time, Microsoft has changed the location and also renamed the .msi file, causing some complications. In the previous configuration found in Prerequisites.json for Sitecore 9.2, the following parameters were defined: Which should be updated to:  https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/4/9/849DBCF2-DFD9-49F5-9A19-9AEE5B29341A/WebPlatformInstaller_x64_en-US.msi After making these updates, the prerequisites will be successfully installed.
