SharePoint Importer

Introduction

The Microsoft SharePoint Importer allows migrating documents, folders, list items and lists/libraries to SharePoint 2013, 2016, and 2019 offering following features:

Import documents to Microsoft SharePoint Document Library items
Import folders to Microsoft SharePoint Document Library items
Import list items to Microsoft SharePoint Document Library items
Import lists/libraries to Microsoft SharePoint Sites
Set values for any columns in SharePoint, including user defined columns
Set values for SharePoint specific internal field values
Create documents, folders and list items using standard SharePoint content types or custom content types
Set permissions for individual documents, folders, list items and lists/libraries
Set the folder path and create folders if they don’t exist
Apply Content Types automatically to lists/libraries if they are not applied yet
Delta migration
Import versions (minor or major, automatic enabling of versioning in the targeted document library)
Import files with a size up to 15 GB (depending on the target SP version)

Installation

To install the main product components, consult the migration-center Installation Guide document.

The migration-center SharePoint Importer requires installing an additional, separate component besides the main product components. This additional component is able to set system values (such as creation date, modified date, author and editor) as well as taxonomy values for your objects. It is designed to run as a Windows service and needs the .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed on your computer, which is running this service as well as the migration-center Job Server.

This component must be installed in all machines where the migration-center server components is installed.

To install this additional component, it is necessary to run an installation file, which is located within the

SharePoint component folder of your migration-center Job Server installation location, which is by default C:\Program Files (x86)\fme AG\migration-center Server Components <version>\lib\mc-sharepoint-online-importer\CSOM_Service\install. This folder contains the file install.bat, which must be executed with administrative privileges.

After the service is installed you will need to start it manually for the first time, after that the service is configured to start automatically as soon as the computers operating system is loaded.

In case it is necessary to uninstall this component, the file uninstall.bat must be executed.

Configuration

The migration-center SharePoint Importer can import objects generated by any of the available (and compatible) scanners. Most scanners can store the data they extract from the source systems they access in either a local path, or a UNC network path.

As is the case with all importers, they need to able to access the files extracted by a scanner in order to import.

See the respective scanner’s user guide for more information on configuration parameters if necessary.

Limitations and known issues

Our SharePoint on-premise importer supports only the following authentication types:

NTLM Windows authentication (authenticationMethod = direct)
AD FS SAML token-based authentication (authenticationMethod = adfs)

Kerberos Windows authentication is currently NOT supported.

Due to restrictions in SharePoint, documents cannot be moved from one Library to another using migration-center once they have been imported. This applies to Version and Update objects.

Even though some other systems such as Documentum allow editing of older versions, either by replacing metadata, or creating branches, this is not supported by SharePoint. If you have updates to intermediate versions to a version tree that is already imported, the importer will return an error upon trying to import them. The only way to import them is to reset the original version tree and re-import it in the same run with the updates.

Running multiple Job Servers for importing into SharePoint must be done with great care, and each of the Job Servers must NOT import in the same library at the same time. If this occurs, because the job will change library settings concurrently, the versioning of the objects being imported in that library will not be correct.

The SharePoint system has some limitations regarding file names, folder names, and file size. Our SharePoint importer will perform the following validations before a file gets imported to SharePoint (in order to fail fast and avoid unnecessary uploads):

SharePoint Importer Properties

To create a new SharePoint Importer, create a new importer and select SharePoint from the Adapter Type drop-down. Once the adapter type has been selected, the Parameters list will be populated with the parameters specific to the selected adapter type. Mandatory parameters are marked with an *.

The Properties of an existing importer can be accessed after creating the importer by double-clicking the importer in the list or selecting the Properties button/menu item from the toolbar/context menu. A description is always displayed at the bottom of the window for the selected parameter.

Multiple importers can be created for importing to different target locations, provided each importer has a unique name.

Common importer parameters

Configuration parameters

Values

Name

Enter a unique name for this importer

Mandatory

Adapter type

Enter a description for this job (optional)

SharePoint Importer parameters

The configuration parameters available for the SharePoint Importer are described below:

Configuration parameters

Values

authenticationMethod

Method used for authentication against SharePoint. If your SP is setup to directly authenticate your users, enter "direct" and provide user name and password in the corresponding parameters. If your SP is setup to use ADFS authentication, enter "adfs" and provide values for the user name, password, domain, adfsBaseUrl, adfsEndpoint, and adfsRealm parameters.

Mandatory

username

The SharePoint user on whose behalf the import process will be executed.

Should be a SharePoint site administrator.

Example: sharepoint\administrator

Mandatory

Note: If you import into a SharePoint sub-site, this user needs Full Control permission on the root site as well!

password

Password of the user specified above

Mandatory

autoAdjustVersioning

Enable/Disable whether the lists/libraries should be updated to allow versions imports.

Enabled: The importer will update the lists/libraries if needed.

Disabled: In case the feature is needed in the import process but not allowed by the target lists/libraries and error will be thrown.

autoAdjustAttachments

Enable/Disable whether the lists should be updated to allow attachments imports.

Enabled: The importer will update the lists if needed.

Disabled: In case the feature is needed in the import process but not allowed by the target lists/libraries and error will be thrown.

autoAddContentTypes

Enable/Disable whether the lists/libraries should be updated to allow items with custom content type imports.

Enabled: The importer will update the lists if needed.

Disabled: In case the feature is needed in the import process but not allowed by the target lists/libraries and error will be thrown.

autoCreateFolders

Enable/disable whether folders which do not exist should be created during import.

Enabled: the importer created any specified folders automatically.

Disabled: no new folders are created, but any existing folders (same path and name) are used. References to non-existing folders throw an error.

proxyURL

This is the URL, which defines the location of your proxy to connect to the Internet. This parameter can be left blank if no proxy is used to connect to the internet.

proxyUsername

The login of the user, who connects and authenticates on the proxy, which was specified in parameter proxyURL.

Example: corporatedomain\username

proxyPassword

Password of the proxy user specified above

loggingLevel*

Sets the verbosity of the log file.

Values:

1 - logs only errors during scan

2 - is the default value reporting all warnings and errors

3- logs all successfully performed operations in addition to any warnings or errors

4 - logs all events (for debugging only, use only if instructed by fme product support since it generates a very large amount of output. Do not use in production)

Mandatory

Content Integrity Check

Starting from migration-center 3.5 the SharePoint importer has the option of checking the integrity of each document’s content after it has been imported. This will be done if the “checkContentIntegrity” parameter is checked and it will verify only documents that have a generated checksum in the Source Attributes.

Currently the only supported checksum algorithm is MD5 with HEX encoding.

For certain types of documents such as Office documents and also .MSG documents, “Document Information Panel” is activated and SharePoint changes the content slightly upon upload. This will cause the integrity check to fail for those documents and there is no workaround so far, other than importing without the content integrity check or finding a way to disable this feature directly in SharePoint.

Working with the migration-center SharePoint object type

Migration Sets

Documents

Documents targeted at a Microsoft SharePoint Document library will have to be added to a migration set. This migration set must be configured to accept objects of type <source object type>ToSharePoint (document).

Create a new migration set and set the <source object type>ToSharePoint(document) in the Type drop-down. This is set in the -Migration Set Properties- window which appears when creating a new migration set. The type of object can no longer be changed after a migration set has been created.

The migration set is now set to work with SharePoint documents.

Folders

The same procedure as for documents also applies to folders about to be imported to SharePoint. For folders the object type to select for a migration set would be <source object type>ToSharePoint (folder).

Lists

The same procedure as for documents also applies to lists or libraries about to be imported to SharePoint. For lists or libraries the object type to select for a migration set would be <source object type>ToSharePoint (list).

List Items

The same procedure as for documents also applies to list items about to be imported to SharePoint. For list items the object type to select for a migration set would be <source object type>ToSharePoint (listItem).

Transformation rules

Documents

<source object type>ToSharePoint (document) type objects have a number of predefined rules listed under Rules for system attributes in the -Transformation Rules- window. These rules are described in the table below.

Configuration parameters

Values

contentType

Rule setting the content type.

Example: Task

Mandatory

This value must match existing migration-center object type definitions; see paragraph Object Type definitions

copyRoleAssignments

Specify if roles from the parent object are copied or not. This system rule is necessary only if the system rule roleAssignments is set, otherwise it is not used.

By default, this value is set to false.

fileExtension

Specify the file extension of the file name that is used to upload the content file to SharePoint.

Folders

Folders have different rules as documents. The exact system rules applicable to folders are listed below.

Configuration parameters

Values

contentType

Rule setting the content type.

Example: Task

Mandatory

This value must match existing migration-center object type definitions; see paragraph Object Type definitions

library

Specify the name of the library, where to import the current object

Mandatory

name

Rule which sets the name of the current folder inside the targeted Document Library item

Example: /my first folder

Mandatory

parentFolder

Rule which sets the path for the current object inside the targeted Document Library item

Example: /username/myfolder/folder

Mandatory

This rule must contain a value. If the current object shall be imported on root level of the targeted library, specify a forward slash “/”

copyRoleAssignments

Specify if roles from the parent object are copied or not. This system rule is necessary only if the system rule roleAssignments is set, otherwise it is not used.

By default, this value is set to false.

roleAssignments

It is possible to specify either a list of users and/or a list of SharePoint groups. If a group is specified, it is necessary, that the targeted SharePoint Group exists in your SharePoint Site.

To set role assignments for single users, the value must match the following pattern:

<loginname>;#roledefinitionname

To set role assignments for SharePoint groups, the value must match the following pattern:

@<group name>;#roledefinitionname

Example:user;#Read

@Contributors;#Contribute

site

Specify the target (sub-) site relative to your site collection, which was specified in the SharePoint Importer adapter parameters.

Mandatory

This rule must contain a value. If the current object shall be imported on root level of the targeted site collection, specify a forward slash “/”

List Items

List items have different rules as documents. The exact system rules applicable to list items are listed below.

Configuration parameters

Values

contentType

Rule setting the content type.

Example: Task

Mandatory

This value must match existing migration-center object type definitions; see paragraph Object Type definitions

isMajorVersion

Specify, if the current object will be created as a major or minor version in the SharePoint target library.

Example:

TRUE or YES or 1 (check in as major version)

FALSE or NO or 0 (check in as minor version)

Mandatory

This rule must contain a value. If the current object shall be imported on root level of the targeted library, specify a forward slash “/”

relationLinkField

Rule which sets a list of column names, where to insert links to AttachmentRelation associated with the current object. This rule can be left blank, if no links shall be inserted.

copyRoleAssignments

Specify if roles from the parent object are copied or not. This system rule is necessary only if the system rule roleAssignments is set, otherwise it is not used.

By default, this value is set to false.

roleAssignments

Specify role assignments for the current object. If a role definition is assigned to the current object, the migration-center SharePoint Importer breaks the role inheritance.

It is possible to specify either a list of users and/or a list of SharePoint groups. If a group is specified, it is necessary, that the targeted SharePoint Group exists in your SharePoint Site.

To set role assignments for single users, the value must match the following pattern:

Mandatory

This rule must contain a value. If the current object shall be imported on root level of the targeted site collection, specify a forward slash “/”

title

Specify the title of the list or library, which will be created

Object Type definitions

Documents, Folders and List Items

In order to associate transformation rules with SharePoint columns, a migration-center object type definition for the respective content type needs to be created. Object type definitions are created in the migration-center client. To create an object type definition, go to Manage/Object Types and create or import a new object type definition. In case your content type contains two or more columns with the same display name, you need to specify the columns internal names as attribute names.

Working with object type definitions and defining attributes is a core product functionality and is described in detail in the Client User Guide.

A Microsoft SharePoint content type corresponds to a migration-center object type definition. For the Microsoft SharePoint adapter, an object type definition can be specified in four ways, depending on whether a particular SharePoint content type is to be used or not or multiple but different content types using the same name across site collections:

My Content Type describes explicitly a SharePoint content Type named My Content Type defined either in the SharePoint document library or at Site Collection level
@My Document Library describes the SharePoint document library named My Document Library using only columns, which are defined explicitly in the SharePoint document library My Document Library
My Content Type;#Any Custom Value describes a SharePoint content type named My Content Type. Everything after the delimiter ;# will be cut off on importing
@My Document Library;#Any Custom Value describes the SharePoint document library named My Document library using only columns, which are defined explicitly in the SharePoint document library My Document Library. Everything after the delimiter ;# will be cut off on importing.

The migration-center SharePoint importer is able to modify the following SharePoint specific internal field values for documents, list items and folders: Created By, Modified By, Created and Modified. To set these internal field values it is necessary to create attributes named Author, Editor, Created and Modified and associate them in the transformation rules appropriately.

Lists

Importing lists or libraries into SharePoint is a little bit different than for documents, folders or list items, since the migration-center SharePoint Importer sets Microsoft defined attributes, which are not visible to the user. In order to set those attributes, it is necessary to create object type definitions for each type of list template (see List of possible list templates). The SharePoint Adapter is able to set any possible attribute of a list. See List of possible list attributes for more information about possible attributes.

Object Values

File Reader

The SharePoint Importer is able to read values from files. This might be necessary if the length of a string might exceed the maximum length of an Oracle database column, which is 4096 bytes.

To tell the SharePoint Importer reading strings from a text file, the filepath of the file containing the value must be placed within the markup <@MCFILE>filepath</@MCFILE>.

The File Reader does not read values from files for the following attributes: Check-In Comment, Author, Editor, Creation Date, Modified Date.

Example:

Assuming you have a file at path \\scanlocation\temp\1\4a9daccf-5ace-4237-856c-76f3bd3e3165.txt you must type the following string in a rule:

<@MCFILE>\\scanlocation\temp\1\4a9daccf-5ace-4237-856c-76f3bd3e3165.txt</@MCFILE>

On import the SharePoint importer extracts the contents of this file and adds them to the associated target attribute.

Filename

The SharePoint Importer is able to modify the filename of a file, which is imported to SharePoint. To set the filename, you must create a target attribute named Name in the object type definition. You can associate any filename (without an extension) for a document. The importer automatically picks the extension of the original file or of the file specified in the rule mc_content_location. If the extension needs to be changed as well, use the system rule fileExtension in order to specify a new file extension. You can also change only the extension of a filename by setting fileExtension and not setting a new filename in the Name attribute.

Example:

Original content location: \\Fileshare\Migration\Scan\566789\content.dat

mc_content_location

Name

fileExtension

Result filename

content.dat

\\Fileshare\Migration\Conversion\invoice.pdf

invoice.pdf

MyContent

MyContent.dat

MyContent

pdf

MyContent.pdf

pdf

content.pdf

Check-In Comment

The SharePoint Importer can set the check-in comment for documents. To set the check-in comment, you must create a target attribute named checkin_comment in the object type definition. You can associate any string to set the check-in comment

Author

The SharePoint Importer can set the author for list items, folders and documents. To set the author, you must create a target attribute named author in the object type definition. The value of this attribute must be the loginname of the user, who shall be set as author.

Editor

The SharePoint Importer can set the editor for list items, folders and documents. To set the editor, you must create a target attribute named editor in the object type definition. The value of this attribute must be the loginname of the user, who shall be set as editor.

Creation Date

The SharePoint Importer can set the creation date for list items, folders and documents. To set the creation date, you must create a target attribute named created in the object type definition. The value of this attribute must be any valid date.

Modified Date

The SharePoint Importer can set the modified date for list items, folders and documents. To set the modified date, you must create a target attribute named modified in the object type definition. The value of this attribute must be any valid date.

Lookup values

The SharePoint Importer can set lookup values. If you want to set a lookup value, you can either set the ID of the related item or the title. If you set the title of the document and there is more than one item with the same title in the lookup list, the SharePoint Importer marks your import object as an error, because the lookup item could not be identified unequivocally.

The importer will treat any numeric value provided as the ID of the lookup value. In case you want to look up the value by title and the title is numeric, please surround the numeric value with " characters. The importer will automatically remove any " characters in the provided value before trying to match it with the title of the lookup field.

URL values

The SharePoint Importer can set URL values. You can define a friendly name as well as the actual URL of the link by concatenating the friendly name with ;# and the actual URL.

Example: migration-center;#http://www.migration-center.com

Taxonomy values

The SharePoint Importer can set taxonomy values and migration-center provides two ways to do it. The first possibility is to use the name of the Taxonomy Service Application, a term group name, a term set name and the actual term. Those four values must be concatenated like the following representation:

TaxonomyServiceApplicationName>TermGroupName>TermSetName>TermName

Example: Taxonomy_+poj2l53kslma4==>Group1>TermSet 1>Value

The second possibility is to use the unique identifier of the term within curly brackets {}.

Example: { 2e9b53f9-04fe-4abd-bc33-e1410b1a062a}

Multiple values can be set also but the attribute has to be set as a Multi-value Repeating attribute.

In case you receive an error on setting taxonomy values make sure the TaxonomyServiceApplicationName is up to date and valid since Microsoft changes the identifier at certain times.

Performance

The performance of the import process is heavily impacted by some specific features, namely autoAdjustVersioning, autoAdjustAttachments, autoAddContentTypes, autoCreateFolders, setting taxonomy values, and setting system attributes like Author, Editor, Created, and Modified.

In case you are importing an update for a major version the increase in processing time can get up to three times compared to a normal document import. Combining all the above-mentioned features over the same document can increase the time for up to four times. Take this into consideration when planning an import as the time might vary based on the above described features.

You will achieve the highest import performance if you perform the appropriate configuration of your SharePoint system before you start the import and disabled the above-mentioned features in the SharePoint importer.

History, Reports, Logs

A complete history is available for any SharePoint Importer job from the respective items’ –History- window. It is accessible through the [History] button/menu entry on the toolbar/context menu. The -History- window displays a list of all runs for the selected job together with additional information, such as the number of processed objects, the start and ending time and the status.

Double clicking an entry or clicking the Open button on the toolbar opens the log file created by that run. The log file contains more information about the run of the selected job:

Version information of the migration-center Server Components the job was run with
The parameters the job was run with
Execution Summary that contains the total number of objects processed, the number of documents and folders scanned or imported, the count of warnings and errors that occurred during runtime.

Log files generated by the SharePoint Importer can be found in the Server Components installation folder of the machine where the job was run, e.g. …\fme AG\migration-center Server Components <Version>\logs

The amount of information written to the log files depends on the setting specified in the ‘loggingLevel’ start parameter for the respective job.
