System Requirements

SharePoint Remote Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes a Knowledge Discovery Content component and an interface for searching the text index. To maximize performance, OpenText recommends that you install the Content component and the connector on different machines.

You can install the connector and CFS on the same machine and hard disk. However, to maximize performance, OpenText recommends that you install the connector and CFS on separate machines.

Connector Machine

To use the SharePoint Remote Connector, the connector machine must meet the following requirements.

  • SharePoint Server 2013 Client Components SDK.
  • Windows Identity Foundation 3.5.
  • Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.7.2 or later.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run Knowledge Discovery components, including SharePoint Remote Connector, refer to the Getting Started Guide.

SharePoint Server

To place and release holds, you must install a web service on the SharePoint server. For more information about installing the web service, see Install the Web Service for Placing Holds.

OmniGroupServer

To use Mapped Security to protect documents that you extract from SharePoint, you must install OmniGroupServer. OmniGroupServer can be installed anywhere on the system, but it must be able to communicate with the connector, your Active Directory, and your Community component. When you install the OmniGroupServer, you must install at least the Combine, LDAP and Text components.
