SharePoint Online Term Store Hidden Taxonomy List

Hi Community,

 

So as we know SharePoint maintains a hidden taxonomy list where it keeps the ID's of each term in term store. But when i access the hidden list it is empty. As per on premise knowledge Managed MataData Service (App) runs a automated update service every hour which syncs the term store and this hidden list. I have no idea on how this activity is maintained in O365 but on one tenant i see this list filled with all the terms but on the other tenants it is empty. I need to get the term id (not guid) which is maintained in this list.

    Hi Christiaan,

    I had to eventually raise a support ticket with Microsoft and it was found that the MMD service which updates this list was not working on the tenant where I was facing this issue. MSFT engineer did some changes at the back end (which they didn't tell me) after which my list was loaded with all terms. Since then I have no issues with the list as I have been using this list extensively.

    Sorry for the delayed response!

        Is there any way "PowerShell or Coding" to force run this service to get the list always updated?
