While extracting data from list views using the SharePoint Source component, I am receiving the following error:
'The attempted operation is prohibited because it exceeds the list view threshold enforced by the administrator. Operations that exceed the list view threshold are allowed in the following time window defined by the administrator'
Microsoft specifies that the administrator can set limits for 'List view threshold'. 'List view threshold' specifies the maximum number of list or library items that a database operation, such as a query, can process at the same time outside the daily time window set by the administrator during which queries are unrestricted. (Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/SharePoint/install/software-boundaries-and-limits?redirectedfrom=MSDN) The following article found on Google suggests that the 'List View threshold' can be set per web application within Central Admin by navigating to Central Admin --> Application Management --> Manage Web Applications --> Select your Web App --> General Settings --> Resource Throttling, however rely on your administrator and official Microsoft documentation for how to administrate these settings.

If you find you have encountered this error message then you have two options:
- Ask the SharePoint administrator to raise the limit of items.
- Reduce the items that you are trying to retrieve.
