SharePoint Configuration

Once you have created a connection to SharePoint, the following sections help you configure the connector so you can send and receive files.

Connector Configuration

This section contains all of the configurable connector properties.

Settings Tab

Configuration

See SharePoint Connection Setup for detailed instructions on how to create a connection to SharePoint.

Send Configuration

Settings related to uploading to the remote storage.

Setting	Description
Remote Folder	Files processed by the connector are uploaded to this folder. Hover over the field to display a list of supported macros.
Overwrite	Whether to overwrite or skip existing files.

Receive Configuration

Settings related to downloading from the remote storage.

Setting	Description
Remote Folder	The remote folder from which files are downloaded. Use a comma-delimited list to specify multiple paths.
File Mask	A glob pattern that determines which files in the Remote Path should be downloaded (for example, `*.txt`).
Delete	Check this to delete successfully downloaded files from the remote storage.

Caching

Settings related to caching and comparing files between multiple downloads.

Setting	Description
File Size Comparison	Check this to keep a record of downloaded file names and sizes. Previously downloaded files are skipped unless the file size is different than the last download.
Timestamp Comparison	Check this to keep a record of downloaded file names and last-modified timestamps. Previously downloaded files are skipped unless the timestamp is different than the last download.

When you enable caching, the file names are case-insensitive. For example, the connector cannot distinguish between TEST.TXT and test.txt.

Advanced Tab

Advanced Settings

Settings not included in the previous categories.

Setting	Description
Recurse Remote Subdirectories	Whether to download files in subfolders of the target remote path.
Chunked Upload Configuration	Whether to upload large files in chunks using SharePoint upload sessions (required for files larger than 250MB).
Chunk Size	The chunk size (in MB) for uploading large files. The minimum is 1MB and the default is 10MB.
Receive Filter	A glob pattern filter to determine which files should be downloaded. You can use negative patterns to indicate files that should not be downloaded (for example, `-.tmp`). Use this setting when you need multiple File Mask* patterns. Multiple patterns can be separated by commas, with later filters taking priority except when an exact match is found.
Local File Scheme	Instructs the connector to group files in the local folder according to the selected interval.
Processing Delay	The amount of time (in seconds) the connector waits before processing a file.

Miscellaneous

Setting	Description
Timeout	The length of time (in seconds) the server waits for a connection response before throwing a timeout error.

Message

The Save to Sent Folder and Sent Folder Scheme settings are deprecated and hidden by default. They appear only on connectors where they were previously enabled or configured to a non-default value. To retain copies of successfully processed files, right-click the connector in the flow, choose Show Success Path, and connect the success path to a File connector.

Setting	Description
Save to Sent Folder (Deprecated)	Copies files processed by the connector to the Sent folder. Disabled by default. Files saved to the Sent folder are not covered by Encryption at Rest.
Sent Folder Scheme (Deprecated)	Groups files in the Sent folder by the selected time interval. Only relevant when Save to Sent Folder is enabled.

Logging

Setting	Description
Log Level	The verbosity of logs generated by the connector. When you request support, set this to Debug.
Log Subfolder Scheme	Instructs the connector to group files in the Logs folder according to the selected interval. The Weekly option instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week.
Log Messages	Check this to have the log entry for a processed file include a copy of the file itself.

Other Settings

Setting	Description
Other Settings	Enables you to configure hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list (for example, `setting1=value1;setting2=value2`). Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require the use of these settings.

Automation Tab

Automation Settings

Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.

Setting	Description
Send	Whether files arriving at the connector are automatically uploaded.
Retry Interval	The amount of time before a failed upload is retried.
Max Attempts	The maximum number of times the connector processes the input file. If set to 0, retries indefinitely.
Receive	Whether the connector should automatically poll the remote download path for files to download.
Interval	The interval between automatic download attempts.
Minutes Past the Hour	The minutes offset for an hourly schedule. Only applicable when the interval is Hourly. For example, if this value is set to 5, the automation service downloads at 1:05, 2:05, 3:05, etc.
Time	The time of day for the attempt. Only applicable when Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
Day	The day for the attempt. Only applicable when Weekly or Monthly.
Minutes	The number of minutes to wait. Only applicable when Minute interval.
Cron Expression	A five-position cron expression. Only applicable when Advanced interval.

Performance

Setting	Description
Max Workers	The maximum number of worker threads consumed from the threadpool.
Max Files	The maximum number of files sent by each thread.

SLAs Tab

Sending and Receiving

Send Files to SharePoint

To send files, set the Remote Folder in the Send Configuration portion of the Settings page to the folder where files should be uploaded. Each SharePoint connector uploads to a single folder location. Use the Overwrite remote files option to indicate whether files that already exist in the container should be overwritten or skipped. After configuration is complete, files placed in the connector Transactions tab are uploaded to the remote storage. If Send Automation is enabled, the upload happens automatically; otherwise, you can send individual files from the Transactions tab.

Receive Files from SharePoint

To receive files, set the Remote Folder in the Receive Configuration portion of the Settings page to the folder from where files should be downloaded. Use a comma-delimited list to specify multiple folders. Use the File Mask to set a glob filter (for example *.txt) that limits the downloads to files matching the filter. To specify multiple filters, use the Receive Filter option on the Advanced tab. Use Delete to specify whether successfully downloaded files should be removed from the remote storage.

Macros

Macro	Description
ConnectorID	The Connector ID of the connector.
Ext	The file extension of the file (e.g., `xml`, `csv`).
Filename	The original filename of the message.
FilenameNoExt	The original filename of the message, without the file extension.
MessageId	The unique identifier assigned to the message.
RegexFilename	A filename derived from a regex on the original filename.
Header	The value from a message header, referenced by name.
LongDate	The current date/time in long format.
