    SharePoint Optimized V2 Connector Configuration Reference

    Table of Contents

    The SharePoint Optimized V2 connector retrieves content and metadata from an on-premises SharePoint repository and cloud-based SharePoint repositories.

    Verify your connector version

    This connector depends on specific Fusion versions. See the following table for the required versions:

    Fusion version Connector version

    Fusion 5.6.1 and later

    v1.1.0 through v1.6.0

    Fusion 5.9.0

    v1.6.0 or later

    Fusion 5.9.1 and later

    v2.0.0 and later


    For connector downloads, see Connector plugin downloads. For instructions on installing a connector, see Install a Connector.

    Note the following guidelines for using the SharePoint Optimized V2 connector:

    • There is a pod limit. The SharePoint Optimized V2 connector does not support running multiple instances. Don’t run the connector on more than one pod.

    • Watch for connector compatibility. Use the LDAP ACLs V2 connector with this connector.

    For details on crawls and incremental crawls see How to crawl using the SharePoint Optimized V2 Connector .

    Remote connectors

    You can configure the SharePoint Optimized V2 Connector (v2.0.0 and later) to running remotely in Fusion versions 5.9.1 and later. Refer to Configure Remote V2 Connectors.

    Configuration

    When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as \t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.

    maxPerRoute - number

    Defines a connection limit per one HTTP route. In simple cases you can understand this as a per target host limit. Under the hood things are a bit more interesting: HttpClient maintains a couple of HttpRoute objects, which represent a chain of hosts each, like proxy1 -> proxy2 -> targetHost. Connections are pooled on per-route basis. In simple cases, when you're using default route-building mechanism and provide no proxy suport, your routes are likely to include target host only, so per-route connection pool limit effectively becomes per-host limit.
