About this task
Once the OneDrive for Business connector has been installed into your Watson™ Explorer Engine
installation, you will likely want to run several tests to determine that it is functioning
correctly. What follows are recommended steps to test the OneDrive for Business connector to ensure
that it is working properly:
Procedure
-
In the Watson Explorer Engine administration tool's Configuration
tab, navigate to your site collection seed configuration display.
-
Test It - Click Test It to verify initial connectivity and that the OneDrive for
Business connector is successfully communicating with OneDrive for Business. See Using "Test-it" for more detailed information on how to use this tool.
-
Confirm Authentication - Once connectivity has been successfully tested, enter the
proper OneDrive authentication type, user name and password.
-
Null Search - Perform a null search by simply clicking the search button in your
Watson Explorer Engine or Watson Explorer Application
Builder search display. If results are not displayed,
something is likely not configured properly. A null search should return all
results.
-
Document Search - If results are successfully displayed, then test the search bar by
searching for a document that is already known to be part of the index. For instance, an
administrator may search for a document that they added to OneDrive previously and therefore know
that this document should be returned as a search result by the OneDrive for Business
connector.
-
Document Count - At this point, it is suggested to test the overall document
count in the search results. Perform a search query. Note the number of results. Add a
document to OneDrive for Business and perform the same search. The total results should now be
increased.
Note:
Many of the tests here can safely be performed in a production environment. However,
it may be harder to determine their effect. For example, if you are adding documents
while other users are adding documents, it may be difficult to confirm that your
document is the one that directly impacted the search results.
Results
The OneDrive for Business connector should successfully perform each of the tests in the previous
list. If not, you may not have configured the OneDrive for Business connector correctly, or an issue
may exist in your computing environment that is preventing successful connectivity and
document retrieval. The next section lists common steps to identify and debug such
problems.
