SQList is designed as a robust synchronization solution that seamlessly bridges the gap between SharePoint and SQL Server. The architecture of SQList is built to ensure efficient, real-time data synchronization from SharePoint lists and libraries to SQL Server databases. It operates in a way that ensures data consistency, minimizes latency, and provides flexibility in data mapping and customization.
SQList – Start Replication
The user interface of SQList is designed for simplicity, ensuring a user-friendly experience with no coding required to set up data replication. The process is guided by an intuitive wizard that walks users through each step seamlessly.
The wizard starts by prompting users to connect to their SharePoint environment. Users simply input the necessary credentials and specify the SharePoint site or list they want to synchronize. A straightforward interface ensures a hassle-free connection process.
Overview SQList
SQList -Configure the SharePoint List & Library Selection
Users start by initiating the connection to their SharePoint environment. The wizard prompts users to enter their SharePoint site URL and credentials. This step establishes a secure link between SQList and the SharePoint platform, enabling access to the necessary lists and libraries.
After successful connection, users are presented with a list of available SharePoint sites. They can choose the specific site containing the lists or libraries they want to synchronize. Once the site is selected, the wizard displays a list of all the available lists and libraries within that site.
SQList – Configuring the SQL Environment
Next, users are guided to connect to their SQL environment. Again, the wizard simplifies the process by prompting users to enter their SQL server details, database information, and authentication credentials. This step is designed to be user-friendly, even for those without extensive technical expertise.
Configuring Synchronization Options
Once both SharePoint and SQL connections are established, the wizard leads users through configuring synchronization options. This includes defining which SharePoint lists should be synchronized with which SQL tables.
SQList – Service Monitor
The service monitor in SQList is a crucial component that provides real-time insights and oversight into the health and performance of the data synchronization process between SharePoint lists and SQL tables. It serves as a comprehensive monitoring tool, offering users a clear view of the ongoing synchronization activities and system status.
By default, errors of level Warning and above are also logged in the Windows Event Log, so standard tools can be used to monitor SQList replications.
