Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Troubleshooting

Error	Reason	Resolution
Site name {siteName} is not found in the tenant.	The site name that you have entered is not available in the tenant.	Click the Suggestion icon and select the site or enter a valid site name manually.
Forbidden exception.	Either the user or the app does not have sufficient permissions to read the metadata for the document library.	Ensure that you provide both user-level and app-level permissions required to access the metadata.

Example

Retrieving Sites List

This example demonstrates how to retrieve the list of sites of a user who is authenticated while creating the account. This example assumes that you have configured and authorized a valid account for the SharePoint Online - Get Sites Snap. For more information about configuring account, see SharePoint Online Account.

First, we configure the SharePoint Online - Get Sites Snap as follows to get the list of sites. We leave the default values as is.

After successfully validating the Pipeline, the Snap gets all the sites from SharePoint Online and displays the first 200 matching sites in the page.

Next, we connect the JSON Formatter Snap to format the output into a JSON file, and finally write the file to the database using the File Writer Snap.
