he SharePoint Online Connector performs full and incremental scans over a SharePoint Online site collection and will extract ACLs, metadata, and content from each file scanned. Each scanned file will be tagged with one of three possible actions--add, update, or delete--and can be routed to any Aspire pipeline as desired. The connector, once started, can be stopped, paused or resumed via the Scheduler Component. Typically the start job will contain all information required by the job to perform the scan. When pausing or stopping, the connector will wait until all the jobs it published have completed before updating the statistics and status of the connector.

This section lists all configuration parameters available to configure the SharePoint Online Connector App Bundle component.

General Component Configuration

ElementTypeDefaultDescription
snapshotDirstring${aspire.home}/snapshotsThe directory for snapshot files to be stored.
disableTextExtractbooleanfalseBy default, connectors use Apache Tika to extract text from downloaded documents. If you wish to apply special text processing to the downloaded document in the workflow, you should disable text extraction. The downloaded document is then available as a content stream.
workflowReloadPeriodint15mThe period after which to reload the business rules. Defaults to ms, but can be suffixed with ms, s, m, h or d to indicate the required units.
workflowErrorTolerantbooleanfalseWhen set, exceptions in workflow rules will only effect the execution of the rule in which the exception occurs. Subsequent rules will be executed and the job will complete the workflow sucessfully. If not set, exceptions in workflow rules will be re-thrown and the job will be moved to the error workflow.
debugBooleanfalseControls whether debugging is enabled for the application. Debug messages will be written to the log files.
