This Zetadocs technical note applies to:
- Zetadocs for Dynamics NAV 5.5 and 6.0 using SharePoint Online Archiving
- Zetadocs Express 6.0 and below using SharePoint Online Archiving
Symptom
When archiving files to a SharePoint Online document library folder path that already exists, the following error is shown:
With default settings for archiving folders, this will typically happen after the first archive of the day.
Cause
A change in behaviour in a SharePoint Online function that handles folder creation resulted in an error returning if that folder already exists, rather than the previous behaviour of ignoring the folder creation call.
Resolution
An update is available here to address this issue.
The following steps should be followed:
Zetadocs for NAV

· Zetadocs PDF
