Configuring the SharePoint Performance Data Source Properties

The SharePoint Performance data source performs actions against a SharePoint site such as Create Document, Check Out, Check In, Download, Delete, and so on, and saves the result in a data package. The SharePoint tests check for a collector data package for the data used by the test.

NOTE: The SharePoint Wizard does not use the Collector data packages since several steps including login / logout are involved in the actions.

Data Package

The data package is matched to the test through the following:

• Server Address
• Site
• User Name
• Action
• File Name or hashed Search string if relevant

Sample Data Packet file names:

DataPackage.SharePointPerformance_reveillesoftwaresharepointcom__reveille_CheckInDocument_TestDocLibraryReadmetxt.xml

DataPackage.SharePointPerformance_reveillesoftwaresharepointcom__reveille_Search_BayKap7xizB9VZsS+rTz+pmOjY=.xml
