Hi Karl,

I recently experienced a particular case with the SharePoint connector (2016) : 

During a job, it may occur, for some reasons (related to the SharePoint server 
configuration, not the job), that some resources of a site are not available 
(for instance if it requires some credentials to open a resource). In that 
case, the SP connector gets a 403 or a 503 response code from the SharePoint. 
The problem is that whenever it gets this kind of response code, the job is 
aborted with an error. 
This is problematic as it means that it will be painfull to complete a crawl of 
an entire SP site as we cannot predict the resources that will not be 
available. We could add filtering rules in order to avoid the resource causing 
the error, but if we are talking about thousands or more of such resources, it 
does not really scale from a human perspective.
Since the response codes are clearly identified (403 and 503), could we 
envision that instead of aborting the job, we continue the job and log 
something into the repo history ? 

Regards,
Julien Massiera
