SharePoint Connectors

Resume job aspect will work more efficiently. An issue was fixed that was causing jobs to fail due to failed documents being queried in the source repository.

4.5.0 Feature Release

Release Date: December 19, 2024

Added Features

Component

Description

Universal Document Converter

The new File Format Converter task will convert files of one format to another format during migration. Document processing often requires transforming documents from one format to another. For example, for long term preservation/archival, PDF/A is a desired format. All documents may not be in that format – and doing such conversion at scale is often hard, and the quality may at times be compromised. With Objective’s Universal Document Converter, any document can be converted into desired format without loss of quality. It will also support complex processing when a document cannot be directly converted into another format by converting it into a transient format before converting it into the desired format.

More about the Converter Task

Automated Redaction

Redaction is crucial for safeguarding sensitive information across the regulatory industries. The new redaction task will search the content of documents while migrating ad redact any words phrases or patterns based on the targets set in the task's configurations.

3Sixty API V2

3Sixty has upgraded the available API keys. These can be used to create connections and jobs with or without tasks as well as run jobs without using the UI. This can speed up the process and allow for large scale scheduling. API details can be found on the individual connector and tasks pages as well as in the advanced user section under API V2.

More about API V2

SharePoint Connector

3Sixty users can now add multiple sites and libraries to the SharePoint REST Connector

More about user authentication

SharePoint Connectors

SharePoint REST and Graph migrations now supports preserving comments for previous versions. For the SharePoint REST and Microsoft Graph SharePoint migrations to CMIS, if users want to preserve comments for previous versions they will need to add the mapping for Document.CheckinComment field. See the following example for mapping from SharePoint REST to CMIS.

Resolved Issues

Component

Description

Azure Blob Connector

Resolved an issue with the date/time field not parsing correctly. 3Sixty no longer adds the value true to the date time format field which was causing an error during integration.

More info on the Azure Blob Connector

Manage In Place

Resolved an issue that would time out manage in place jobs during post processing. The idle timer will no longer time out a job if post processing is still occurring.

More info on Manage In Place

Alfresco Connector

Resolved an issue that would cause 3Sixty to not create a job ID due to a bug with the Alfresco Site Path field causing errors and missing documents.

Fixed an incorrect default value for the Date Time Format for Alfresco output. Users should check and make sure this value matches their desired format. For existing jobs you can add the time to see the new format.

More info on the Alfresco Connector

Task Actions

The action option for tasks (where available) has been changed from Audit and Continue to Continue. If a task encounters an error or a document that meets the stated conditions, users can chose to either continue, skip of fail. In certain cases the changes will be stated in the metadata if the fields are mapped to display. For example if you are running a duplication check task and you have mapped the duplication detection fields you can create a BFS job to see the files tagged as duplicate.

More information on using Objective 3Sixty Tasks

Trivial Detection Task

The user guide has been updated to clarify how chaining trivial detection tasks work. Using one task will detect a file as trivial if all conditions are met. Chaining tasks will detect files that match either condition of the separate detection tasks. For example you can use one task if you want to find files under a certain size and with a certain file type. Chaining tasks will allow you to find files under a certain size or with a certain file type.

To prevent 3Sixty from overwriting the trivial tags when processing the chained tasks, use the condition check and enter the following statement for subsequent tasks.

equals('#{field.isTrivial}', 'false')

This will tell 3Sixty to only check files where the isTrivial flag is set to false, allowing you to see all files detected as trivial instead of just the files detected by the last processed task.

SSO User Management

Access related issue fixed for 3Sixty Discovery users.

More information on User Authentication Management

CMIS Connector

When using the CMIS connector as an output connector users were not able to uncheck the following boxes

  • Strict Version Mode (true/false)

  • CMIS Cache Enabledd (true/false)

This issue has been resolved and users can now uncheck the boxes if they do not want to include those options during migration.

Also when using the CMIS connector users ran into an issue where the connector would only migrate the first version of a document. 3Sixty has been updated so that the CMIS connector will now support multiple versions.

More information on using the CMIS Connector

User Roles

The executor and monitor roles have been fixed to give authorization to create or view a discovery report.

More about user roles

SharePoint Connector

Resolved the issue where if user were member of a group, 3Sixty was not able to get the permission for those users. Now 3Sixty is able to see the permission for individual users.

SharePoint REST

Resolved an issue where the SharePoint Rest URL got corrupted for subsites causing schema instances to fail. With this issue fixed users will be able to run discover instance for subsites.

Export Configuration

Reverts a change that breaks certain aspects of the Tesseract Extraction Task. If you have added this task to any Jobs or Task Groups since installing 4.4.0 it will need to be recreated.

Security Vulnerability

Resolved password security issues.
