Why Is User Input Data on a SharePoint List Form Not Synchronized to AgilePoint?

Symptoms

The input data on a SharePoint List Form are not updated in AgilePoint. As a result, the process follows an incorrect path. The process instance data on the Data tab in Enterprise Manager contains an incorrect value.

Cause

The AgileConnector that establishes communication between AgilePoint Server and SharePoint has an incorrect name.

Resolution

On the AgilePoint Server machine, click Start > All Programs > AgilePoint > AgilePoint Server Manager.
On the AgilePoint Configuration screen, click the Extensions tab.
On the Extensions tab, select SPSIntegration.
Make sure that the name of the AgileConnector is set to SPSIntegration.
The name must be exactly how it appear here because it is case-sensitive.

Cause

The configuration of the SharePoint AgileConnector is not proper. In some non-Forms Based Authentication enabled client environments, the user mistakenly selects the Use Form Based Authentication option. As a result, the following error message is displayed in AgileConnector logs:

401: Unauthorized

Resolution

On the AgilePoint Server machine, click Start > All Programs > AgilePoint > AgilePoint Server Manager.
On the AgilePoint Configuration screen, click the Extensions tab.
On the Extensions tab, select SPSIntegration.
Click Configure.

On the AgileConnector for SharePoint dialog box, complete the fields to specify the authentication for the non-Forms Based Authentication environment, and then click OK.
