Working with SharePoint

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to Microsoft SharePoint so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that data system.

To create a connection to SharePoint, you need to use Synchronization Service in conjunction with a connector called SharePoint Connector. You must install this connector on the SharePoint server you want to work with. The SharePoint connector is included in the Synchronization Service package.

The SharePoint Connector supports the following features:

 

Table 70: Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Allows you to read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Allows you to process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation, thereby reducing the overall synchronization operation time.

No

Password synchronization

Allows you to synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory domain to the connected data system.

No

In this section:

Creating a SharePoint connection

To create a new connection

  1. Ensure that you have installed the SharePoint Connector on the SharePoint server you want to work with.
  2. In the Synchronization Service Administration Console, open the Connections tab.
  3. Click Add connection, and then use the following options:
    • Connection name. Type a descriptive name for the connection.
    • Use the specified connector. Select SharePoint Connector.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Specify connection settings page, click the Test Connection button to ensure that the connector can access SharePoint.
  6. If the test succeeds, click Finish to create a connection.

SharePoint data supported out of the box

The next table lists the objects supported by the SharePoint Connector out of the box and the operations you can perform on these objects by using the connector.

For each of the supported SharePoint object types Synchronization Service provides special attributes that allow you to read or write data in SharePoint. You can access and use these attributes from the Synchronization Service Administration Console (for example, when selecting the source and target attributes you want to participate in the synchronization operation).
