The CIFS Connector performs full and incremental scans over a shared folder (including NTFS) and will extract security, metadata, and content from each file scanned. The connector allows you to filter the scanned files using regular expression patterns, to include folders in the results, and to scan subfolder content. 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 sending a new Scanner Configuration Job. 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.
NOTE: CIFS Application Bundle has malfunctions when another CIFS Application is installed on the same server and configure for another server on another domain. This also applies for the Publish To SharePoint 2013
