Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines. 

Limitations

None.

Known Issues

• Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.
• The OneDrive Create Folder Snap fails with a 404 error when the folder name ends with Unicode characters, such as 𝓱𝓲𝓳𝐅𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐤𝐥𝐦, 𝒚𝒛𝒜𝒳𝒴,𝗕𝗖𝘧𝘨𝘩𝛀𝛁𝛂, 見響见响仮仏. However, if the folder name contains unicode characters with the last character as a normal character, the folder is created successfully.

This option is meant for users who have write access on both the source and target shared libraries.	N/A	NewSharedLibrary
Drive	String/Expression/Suggestion	Required for all Drive Type options. Specify the name of the drive to create the folder in. The suggestions for this field are based on the Snap account and the User or Shared Library selected. For the Drive Type Drive, specify/pass the ID of the drive to create the folder in, typically from the upstream Snap. For the drive type All, select a drive from the OneDrive or a Shared Library drive. Specify the Source Relative Path/ID of the driveItem, next.	N/A	OneDrive
Source Relative Path/ID	String/Expression	Required for all Drive Type options. Enter the relative path for the driveItem where the folder must be created, beginning with root:/. Alternatively, pass the item ID in this field. Any URL in this field that starts with root:/ is treated as relative path.

Execute only	Validate & Execute

Troubleshooting

Examples

Working with Drive Items (Folders and Files) in OneDrive

Example title must be gerunds in title case.

Microsoft's OneDrive and SharePoint dialects treat files and folders as drive items for all the similar operations (CRUD) they allow. Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack provides multiple Snaps to perform these operations. This Pipeline demonstrates some of these operations - Creating folders, copying items, moving items, and deleting items. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters. 

We use the Create Folder Snap to create a new folder in the OneDrive (or Shared Library) location. Next, we use a Copy Item Snap to create a copy of an existing item in another folder/shared location. The Delete Item Snap removes an item from the source location. The Move Item Snap moves the copied item back to its source location. We also use a Mapper Snap to feed required information to the Move Item Snap.

Create Folder Snap
Output

Now, we copy the newly created folder (mentioned in Source Relative Path/ID field) to another target location (Target Relative Path/ID) using the Copy Item Snap.

Copy Item Snap
Output

Let us delete the original folder from the first source location using the Delete Item Snap. Notice the value/expression used in Source Relative Path/ID field in this Snap.

Delete Item Snap	Output

The output for the Delete Item Snap displays the summary of the delete operation. We use a Mapper Snap to return the name of the item and pass it to the Move Item Snap.

As the last step, let us connect a Move Item Snap to move the copied item (in the old target location) back to its original location (target location for the Move Item Snap). To do so, we capture this name of the item and pass it to the Move Item Snap as the source item detail.

Move Item Snap	Output

Upon completion of the task of moving items, the Snap provides the details of the driveItem that was moved to its original location.
