Retrieve Data from Exchange Online

To create a fetch task to retrieve information from Exchange Online, follow these steps.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the connector 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=ExchangeOnline
    NOTE:

    The fetch tasks that you configure are run in sequence. If you want to run tasks in parallel, set the TaskThreads parameter.

  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=ExchangeOnline
    
    [ExchangeOnline]
  5. Set the following parameters:

    Username

    The user name to use to connect to the Exchange Web service.

    Password

    The password to use to connect to the Exchange Web service.

    WSURL The URL of the Exchange Web Service.
    ExchangeOnline A Boolean that specifies whether the repository is an instance of Exchange Online. Set this parameter to true.
    ExchangeOnlineMailbox A comma-separated list of mailbox addresses from which you want to retrieve information.

    For example:

    [ExchangeOnline]
    Username=user
    Password=9urVn5yM8A
    WSURL=https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    ExchangeOnline=true
    ExchangeOnlineMailbox=user1@domain.com,user2@domain.com
    

    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.

  6. 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.
