Learn about Data 360’s General Limitations for this specific connector.

The Tridion connector supports only HTML5 targets published from Tridion. This connector doesn’t support other target types.

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is the only supported connection type for the Tridion connector.

A zip file can’t contain more than 1000 files.

When you create a connection, Data 360 performs a validation test.

The test connection fails.

Verify that you created a valid Staging Area and that the SSH Public Key is valid. If you didn’t generate the key correctly for your operating system, regenerate it and update the key information in the Staging Area. See Generate an SSH Key Pair for instructions.

When content moves from Tridion to the SFTP Staging Area, the connector picks it up and ingests it into Data 360.

The sync fails or no new records appear on the Data Stream tab.

• Verify that Tridion uses the correct host name and username from the Staging Area.
• Confirm that the private key file configured in Tridion matches the SSH Public Key added to the Staging Area.
• Review the Limitations and Guidelines for information on connector limitations and troubleshooting.

When you create a Tridion connector, you can turn on search indexing.

Data 360 didn’t create the Search Index or chunks.

Create or rebuild the Search Index.

1. From App Launcher, select Data Cloud.
2. Do one of these steps:
   • If you have a Search Index, open the Search Index tab and click the Search Index you created. Then click Rebuild from the dropdown menu on the right.
   • If you don’t have a Search Index, open the Search Index tab, click New > Easy Setup, and select the corresponding DMO.
