System Center Integration Pack for Microsoft SharePoint
Applies To: System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, System Center 2012 SP1 - Orchestrator
Integration packs are add-ons for Orchestrator, a component of Microsoft System Center 2012, that helps you optimize IT operations across heterogeneous environments. They enable you to design runbooks in Orchestrator that use activities performed by other System Center components, other Microsoft products, and by non-Microsoft products.
The System Center Integration Pack for Microsoft SharePoint enables the automation of common tasks in SharePoint, for example, to create list items, to upload and download documents, and to monitor a list for changes.
Microsoft is committed to protecting your privacy, while delivering software that brings you the performance, power, and convenience that you want. For more information, see the System Center Orchestrator 2012 Privacy Statement.

Configuring the SharePoint Integration Pack Connections
A connection establishes a reusable link between Orchestrator and a SharePoint site. You can create as many connections as you require to specify links to multiple sites. You can also create multiple connections to the same server to allow for differences in security permissions for different user accounts.

On the Configurations tab, click Add to begin the connection setup. The Add Configuration dialog box appears.
In the Name box, enter a name for the connection. This name can be the name of the SharePoint site or a descriptive name to distinguish the type of connection.
