Sending files from Linux to Sharepoint online using a python script

A highly effective method is using a python script executed on the Linux server. Python offers robust libraries for handling HTTP requests and authentication necessary to interface with modern cloud storage services like SharePoint Online, making it ideal for EBS automation.

Blitz Report primarily generates native, formatted Excel files. Additionally, if you require non-Excel formats for archival or legal reasons, Blitz Report also supports generating PDF output. Both Excel and PDF files can be targeted by your Python script for transfer.

For scheduled delivery, Blitz Report integrates with the Concurrent Manager. Once the report execution is finalized (status Completed), the output file is written to the file system. The Python script, triggered either sequentially or via a separate scheduled process (like a Concurrent Program post-processor), then executes the file transfer logic from Linux.

You can monitor the entire concurrent process execution via the Concurrent Request Monitoring and Alert Reporting tool. This tool can identify requests that fail (Status: Error) or stall. If the Python script is part of the concurrent workflow, failures at that stage should be captured, allowing you to email alerts automatically.

Best practices dictate encrypting or securely storing credentials. Furthermore, you must ensure that the EBS server itself (especially EBS 12.2) is secured via HTTPS/TLS at the application level to protect against network intrusion.

Blitz Report provides reduced processing overhead for its reporting. It is specifically used for Time Critical reports and volume data exports , ensuring the generation step is performed quickly before the Python transfer script executes.
