File Archival jobs failing for some tenants

We’re aware of an issue causing File Archival jobs to fail for some customers in our US region. Affected jobs fail during execution, and archival actions scheduled during this period may not have completed. We’ve traced the cause to a recent change in Microsoft SharePoint Online that affects how certain search requests are processed. Microsoft has acknowledged reports of the problem, which appears to be impacting a subset of SharePoint Online tenants. Our team is investigating if the issue can be worked around on our side so that File Archival no longer depends on the affected behavior, and we’re also monitoring Microsoft’s progress on a resolution. No files have been lost or modified as a result of this issue; jobs that failed simply did not run. We’ll post another update as soon as we have more information or a fix is deployed.

**What happened:** From October 14 to 15, File Archival jobs failed for some customers in our US region. Scheduled archival actions during this time did not run. No files were lost or modified. **Detection:** Our monitoring caught the failures early, which allowed us to begin investigating right away. **Why:** A change Microsoft made to SharePoint Online caused some of the search requests File Archival relies on to be rejected. It affected only some SharePoint tenants. **How we fixed it:** We updated File Archival to work with the change and deployed the fix on October 15. Jobs are completing normally again. We apologize for the disruption. If you have questions, please contact our support team.
