Deploy SharePoint Online

This section describes how to set up the SharePoint Online file handler in order to access files stored in SharePoint Online. This file handler is provided with AIM.

Note: To access files from SharePoint Online, the "InfoLocator" of the FILE object must be in the following format: https://{{domain}}. sharepoint.com//sites/{{sitename}}/{{foldername}}/{{filename}}

For example: https://test.sharepoint.com//sites/projectCenter/information technology/test.pdf

To deploy SharePoint Online with AIM:

1. Navigate to the SharePointOnline folder that can be found in the AIM Dashboard installation folder.

   For example: C:\Program Files\AVEVA\AVEVA Asset Information Management\Dashboard\SharePointOnline.

2. Open SharePointOnlinePackage.SetParameters.xml, edit the default parameters if required (see the following table), and then save the file.

3. Double-click DeploySharePointOnline.bat to deploy the viewer.

4. Reset IIS.
