Denodo - Generating a Base URL for a SharePoint App
This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to generate a base URL for a custom SharePoint app in Denodo.
Generate the URL by combining the following components:
- https://uillinoisedu.sharepoint.com/sites/
- [SiteName]
- For [SiteName] in the Base URL, use the name of a SharePoint site (without spaces) that you have access to.
- Example: TestSiteforDenodoImplementation.
- /_api/Web/GetFileByServerRelativePath(decodedurl=''@sp_path'')/$value
NOTE: This uses an interpolation variable for the “path”. This is what will make the connection reusable.
Example Base URL: https://uillinoisedu.sharepoint.com/sites/TestSiteforDenodoImplementation/_api/Web/GetFileByServerRelativePath(decodedurl=''@sp_path'')/$value
Best Practice: Only use the SharePoint App credentials in a single Denodo connection. Creating more than one Denodo connection that re-uses the same SharePoint Client ID will cause the access tokens associated with that Client ID to interrupt one another and your integration will become unstable.
