Limitations
Due to API limitations, JIVE connector has the following limitations:
The Creation Date Filter is only available in Jive version 8 or greater.
Entitlements API does not support "User Overrides". In this case, ACLs will not be retrieved for Jive version 8 or greater.
Without Places support
In large crawls, the Jive API produces server slowdowns and crashes which will prevent the crawl from continuing. The Jive Connector has two feature to help with these scenarios: a “Progressive Retries” and the “Use Creation Date Filter”.
Under some circumstances page corruptions happens in the Jive database which produces malformed JSON responses. The connector cannot crawl the data in this particular scenario.
