This page allows you to set up additional users/applications to index data from SharePoint. You can use them in serial or parallel configuration. You should use serial configuration if you want to spread the total resource usage. Parallel configuration speeds up the discovery by crawling multiple site collections at the same time.

  • Important Note: Every additional index user should have the same permissions as the primary index user.

Setting NameDescription
SharePoint ChangeSetsUse SiteData web service to index by change sets (Document connections only)
  • This option provides for a more efficient method for Locator to obtain changes to documents within SharePoint. 
  • Important Note For SharePoint Connector versions older than 2.9.0.0: In order to use this feature the index user is required to access the SiteData web service, thus the index user must be a site collection administrator.
    Since SharePoint Connector version 2.9.0.0 SiteData web service is no longer used to retrieve changes and index user no longer has to be site collection administrator to use ChangeSet functionality.
Use Incremental ModeThis option will cause the full scan to index only new site collections. Change Set will handle document additions, updates and deletes in already indexed site collections. This will decrease the number of requests to SharePoint after the initial full scan.

Include SharePoint ListsThe default setting is to include the SharePoint Lists.
Include SharePoint CommentsCheck this option if you want to index comments under pages in SharePoint. Default setting is to exclude comments.
Perform single full scanOption available only when you are editing connection with enabled Incremental Mode. This forces the connector to perform a single full scan on all connectors after which it will continue with the incremental mode. You should check this option if you want to remove from index some subset of documents that still exist in the source system.

Upon completion of the Locator SharePoint Connection, the Locator Server will be ready for scheduling the SharePoint connection for indexing.  As soon as the connection wizard is finished, you will return to the SharePoint connections overview in the Management Console.  You can click the "Schedule" option to configure the schedule for the connection.
