Hello

We have a workspace that connects to Sharepoint using a WebConnection.

It works in FME Form and on one of our two FME Flow instances, which is installed on a second server.
However, it does not work on the other FME Flow instance, which is installed on a third server.

The error message is as follows:

Access token not found for connection ‘aaa@Sharepoint_bbb’
Unable to obtain updated authorization for web connection ‘aaa@Sharepoint_bbb’; credentials may be invalid

Obviously, there’s something wrong with the access credentials, but why does it only fail on one of the FME Flow instances?

The web connection was set up by someone who no longer works for us. Where can I get the access token for the connection?

Thanks in advance

Vera

Does the user running the process have access to the connection on FME Flow? The error message is a bit ambiguous, but the way I interpret it is that FME Flow is saying “User ABC doesn’t have the correct credentials to access the aaa@Sharepoint_bbb connection” Not “The connection has the incorrect credentials”

The user is the same on both FME Flow instances, so it should work on both instances or on none of them...

It's working now. We simply copied the WebConnection from the FME Flow instance, where it was working, to the other one (project).
We'll now have to take a closer look at SharePoint connections so that we can set up new ones as well.
