SharePoint System Link

The SharePoint system link connects the Publisher to an existing SharePoint farm. When configured as a destination system, documents are published to a specified folder in a document library. If the document already exists in the library, it is checked out by the Publisher, the document is updated, Publisher checks the document back in, and increments the major revision number. If the document does not already exist in the library, the document is approved automatically so that it is immediately available to users. The link can also replicate the source folder structure in the library. To learn how to do this, see Configure a Publishing Job. When configured as a source system, the document library can be selected.

This link is ideal for organizations that use SharePoint to make documents available to external organizations or to remote sites and those that need to import documents from a project owner's SharePoint portal.

Note:
  • It is possible to replicate native documents and renditions. The renditions will be in a separate file. It is not possible to replicate revisions.

  • SharePoint Online is supported as a destination system using OAuth 2.0 and Azure Active Directory Identity Provider for claims-based authentication.

  • Publishing jobs may fail if the format of a DateTime column on the SharePoint computer is different than the date and time format displayed by the Meridian Enterprise Server computer.
