The Exchange Web Service Connector retrieves messages, appointments, contacts, and other items from an Exchange Server, and sends them for ingestion.
To automatically retrieve content from Exchange, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.
To create a new Fetch Task
In the [FetchTasks]
section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number
parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1
. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number
parameter by one (1). Below the Number
parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask
Below the [FetchTasks]
section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:
[FetchTasks] Number=1 0=MyTask [MyTask]
In the task section, set the following parameters:
Username
|
The user name to use to connect to LDAP and the Exchange Web service. If you need to use different credentials to log on to LDAP and the Exchange Web service, you can override this parameter with the |
Password
|
The password to use to connect to LDAP and the Exchange Web service. If you need to use different credentials to log on to LDAP and the Exchange Web service, you can override this parameter with the |
Domain
|
(Optional) The domain of the user specified by Username . You can override this parameter by setting WSDomain . |
WSURL
|
The URL of the Exchange Web Service. |
LDAPPath
|
(Optional) The LDAP path to search. The connector uses LDAP to obtain a list of mailboxes to synchronize. |
For more information about the parameters that you can use to configure the connector, and to restrict the items that are retrieved, refer to the Exchange Web Service Connector Reference.
Save and close the configuration file.
You can now start the connector.
TIP: The connector saves or updates a data file for each completed fetch task. If you make changes to the configuration and want to reset the connector so that it retrieves all of your data again, use the PurgeDatastore
action.
