Data Type

string

Default Value

"REST"

Remarks

The Schema property determines which SharePoint API the adapter uses to retrieve and manage data. The available options depend on the configured SharePointEdition:

• REST — Uses the SharePoint REST API. This schema is often recommended for newer environments and is the only supported option for SharePoint Online.
• SOAP — Uses the SharePoint SOAP API. This schema is available only for SharePoint OnPremise deployments. SOAP is not supported for SharePoint Online because Microsoft has deprecated SOAP-based access for online instances.
