The SharePoint 2016 Connector performs full and incremental scans over a SharePoint 2013 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.

Configuration
This section lists all configuration parameters available to configure the SharePoint 2016 Application Bundle component.
General Application Configuration
| Element | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| snapshotDir | string | ${aspire.home}/snapshots | The directory for snapshot files to be stored. |
| disableTextExtract | boolean | false | By 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. |
| workflowReloadPeriod | int | 15m | The 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. |
| workflowErrorTolerant | boolean | false | When 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. |
| debug | Boolean | false | Controls whether debugging is enabled for the application. Debug messages will be written to the log files. |
SharePoint 2016 Specific Configuration
| Element | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| siteCollectionsToCrawl/siteCollectionUrl | String | The URL to crawl (http:// format). Can be HTTP or HTTPs. | |
| seedsFilePath | String | ${aspire.config.dir}/${app.name}/urls.txt | The path to a txt file that contains a valid url to crawl on each line. All sites will be accessed with the same credentials. |
| userName | String | username | The user name to connect to SharePoint with, if one is not given in the control job. |
| password | String | secretpassword | The password to connect to SharePoint with, if one is not given in the control job. |
| domain | string | Domain used to authenticate against SharePoint. | |
| groupPrefixSeparator | String | | | The separator inserted between the site URL and group name when extracting groups from sites. |
| indexContainers | boolean | false | Indicates whether the container items should be indexed or not. |
| crawlAttachments | boolean | false | Crawl attachments from list items. E.g. documents attached to an Event. |
| scanExcludedItems | boolean | false | Will force scanning through excluded items to look for non excluded ones. |
