Transferring the portal structure through file system

By default, the SP20XXTree web application exposes the portal hierarchical structure through an HTTP web service (SP20XXTree - 07 for MOSS 2007, 10 for SharePoint 2010 and 13 for SharePoint 2013), creates an XML file which portrays the hierarchal structure of the portal, and then translating the XML data into relational data.
To do so, go to Administration > System Configuration > SharePoint Tree Adaptor > click on your SharePoint farm > check "Transter the tree structure through file system (XML file)":

System Configuration - SharePoint Tree adaptor

In versions lower than 2.0.8.0, modify the Portal Tree Updates web service URL as follows:
http://<CardioLogServer>:<port>/SP20XXTree/default.aspx?docVersions=true&output=file&logFilePath=[CardioLog Installation Folder]\CardioLogScheduleServices\Logs\SP20XXTree.xml

Transferring the portal structure through SQL

The hierarchical portal tree can be retrieved through SQL-SQL data transfer. This configuration process does not use CardioLog server file system, but rather uses bulk copy of data from SharePoint databases to CardioLog. As a result, the entire process runs more efficiently as less resources are consumed.

To do so, go to Administration > System Configuration > SharePoint Tree Adaptor > click on your SharePoint farm > un-check "Transter the tree structure through file system (XML file)".

In versions lower than 2.0.8.0, modify the Portal Tree Updates web service URL as follows:

http://<CardioLogServer>:<port>/SP20XXTree/default2.aspx?xmlMode=0&docVersions=true

Execute the following SQL script against CardioLog database:

UPDATE CardioLog.dbo.tab_global_settings
SET Value = 0
Where Name = N'xmlMode' and Category = N'OMAgent'

Collecting document versioning information for your SharePoint lists and libraries

In order to take full advantage of document modification reports, turn on versioning for your SharePoint lists and libraries.

To collect document versioning information from SharePoint, go to Administration > System Configuration > SharePoint Tree Adaptor > click on your SharePoint farm > check "Import document versioning information for your SharePoint lists and libraries".

In versions lower than 2.0.8.0, add the "docVersion=true" parameter to the Tree Web Service URL field. For example:
http://<CardioLogServer>:<port>/SP20XXTree/default.aspx?docVersions=true&output=file&logFilePath=[CardioLog Installation Folder]\CardioLogScheduleServices\Logs\SP20XXTree.xml

Import social information for your SharePoint farm

SharePoint 2013 offers a variety of out-of-the box social features such as content likes, rating and ranking, sharing content, following content, and more.

To import social information from SharePoint 2013 and perform detailed analysis of the site's social activity:

  1. Go to Administration > System Configuration > SharePoint Tree Adaptor > click on your SharePoint 2013 farm > check "Import social information for your SharePoint farm".
  2. Execute the Social Updates job: Go to Administration > CardioLog Scheduling Service > Social Updates > Set the schedule type and then click OK.
