Retrieve Data from Exchange Online

To retrieve information from Exchange Online, follow these steps.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
  3. 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
  4. 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]
  1. In the task section, set the following parameters:

    ExchangeOnline A Boolean value that specifies whether the repository is an instance of Exchange Online. Set this parameter to true.
    WSURL The URL of the Exchange Web Service.

    For example:

    [MyTask]
    ExchangeOnline=true
    WSURL=https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    
  2. Specify the list of mailboxes to synchronize, using one of the following methods:

  3. Set the configuration parameters that are required to authenticate with the Exchange Web Service:

  4. 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.
