Synchronization Task Example

Synchronization
 Task Example

You can create a
synchronization
 task to read data from a Microsoft SharePoint source and write data to the Microsoft SharePoint target.
  • You need to create a Microsoft SharePoint connection before you configure the
    synchronization
     task.
  • You can upload attachments to the doc library only when you are using the Sharepoint 2013 version.
  • When you upgrade from Sharepoint 2013 and run an existing mapping, you need to refresh the existing mapping and the fields for the task to run successfully.
  • Ensure that the Microsoft Sharepoint document library path from where you want to read or write data does not contain special characters. When you import the objects, the data preview fails to display the objects.
