- Problem Description: Cognite File Extractor for Sharepoint is not able to recursively retrieve documents from a Sharepoint site where site and sub-sites, e.g. Document Control System
- Alternatives explored:
- Provide Sharepoint URL as mentioned in documentation for site (Sharepoint Online | Cognite Documentation)
- Results: no errors, however, no documents are loaded
- Evaluation: recursion does not occur from site-level down to the document or folder level where Sharepoint stores documents
- Provide document library and folder / sub-folder
- Results: working, however, sustainability not ideal
- Evaluation: will require potentially >100 URLs to be configured and kept up-to-date in case of new document libraries or folders created or deleted
- Provide Sharepoint URL as mentioned in documentation for site (Sharepoint Online | Cognite Documentation)
- Recommended enhancement
- Recursion from root node (Sharepoint site). E.g. if site URL is provided recursion should go through each sub-site (if present) to document libraries and sub-folders to retrieve documents
This should be treated as high-priority. Item 2B above can be seen as a work-around but maintaining Sharepoint URLs in config up-to-date will require coordination/sync with source – likely through custom
