Creating repositories that represent Microsoft SharePoint sites

The Microsoft SharePoint plug-in adds the repository type that is called Connection to Microsoft SharePoint Site. Use this repository type to create new repositories to represent your Microsoft SharePoint sites.

Before you begin

If you are using WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.0 or later, ensure that an isolated shared library is configured on WebSphere Application Server. Otherwise, a connection error occurs when you try to connect to a Microsoft SharePoint site repository.

About this task

For the Add to Microsoft SharePoint action, a list of Microsoft SharePoint sites is displayed so that users can navigate to find the location to add the document. To create the list of Microsoft SharePoint sites to display, you must create repositories that represent the destination Microsoft SharePoint sites by specifying a display name and URL. The display name is displayed when you use the Add to Microsoft SharePoint action. The URL points to the top node of the navigation tree where the user can navigate to the location to add the document. The URL of the Microsoft SharePoint site can point to a collection (for example, http://sitecollection1.mycompany.com) or a subsite (for example, http://sitecollection1.mycompany.com/subsite).

Procedure

To create a repository that represents a Microsoft SharePoint site:

  1. Open the administration tool in the web client and click Repositories > New Repository.
  2. Select Connection to Microsoft SharePoint Site as the repository type.
  3. Specify a display name and URL for your Microsoft SharePoint site.
  4. Click Connect, and enter a user name and password. Confirm that the connection is successful and save your changes.
  5. Click Desktops, select the desktop that you want to modify and click Edit.
  6. In the desktop properties section, click the Repositories tab, and in the list of Available Repositories, select the repository that you created and add it to the list of Selected Repositories.
  7. Save your changes.
