---------------------------------------------
Hi, do you have any update for this I have like 2000+ sites in sharepoint and i
cannot manually add them plus i only need contents of specific folder inside a
site. How can I achieve this.
> SharePoint connector would benefit from site discovery

> Key: CONNECTORS-917
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-917
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SharePoint connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.7
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: ManifoldCF next
>
>
> The current SharePoint connector only can crawl a single SharePoint site.
> But SharePoint can support multiple sites. Indeed, in some cases there are
> hundreds of such sites. Setting up a connection and jobs for each one would
> be a difficult task.
> The SharePoint admin site allows you to discover the sites that exist. Using
> this feature as part of the crawl would allow for a much more automated way
> of handling large SharePoint installations.
> Some notes:
> - Not yet clear how "one site" vs. "many sites" should coexist in one
> connector
> - Form of document identifier must change
> - Each document identifier must include the site path first
> - Since subsite path can be just "/", also needs to be resilient against
> that
> - Something like: <site_path>//<current_subsite_doc_list_item_etc_path>.
> But "//" will collide with old-style.
> - If old-style document identifier always must start with a "/", then we
> can simply start it with (say) a "+", to signal that it is a new-style
> identifier
> - Not clear yet if there's a new form that would allow us to know if a
> doc identifier was old form or not
> - Native authority also right now needs to know what site it is working
> with
> - Site discovery therefore must also be run in the authority, and tokens
> for each discovered site must be returned
> - Native tokens must therefore be qualified with a site ID
