# Send Documents to Connector Framework Server

HPE Media Server includes an output engine for indexing documents into IDOL Server. However, if you want to manipulate and enrich documents before they are indexed into IDOL you can send the documents to a Connector Framework Server (CFS) instead.

For example, if you have used speech-to-text analysis to convert the words spoken in a video into text, you might want to run Eduction on the text to extract the names of people or places and add these to the document metadata.

To send documents to CFS, use the CFS output engine. HPE Media Server includes an XSL template that you can use to transform the metadata produced by HPE Media Server into documents.

For more information about using CFS, refer to the Connector Framework Server Administration Guide.

To send documents to CFS

1. Create a new configuration to send to HPE Media Server with the `process` action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

2. Add a new output task by setting the `OutputEngineN` parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

       [Output]
       OutputEngine0=CFS

3. Create a section to configure the task by typing the task name inside square brackets. For example:

       [CFS]

4. In the new section, set the following parameters:

   `Type` | The output engine to use. Set this parameter to `CFS`.
   `CfsHost` | The host name or IP address of your CFS.
   `CfsPort` | The ACI port of your CFS.
   `XslTemplate` | The path to the XSL template to use to transform records into documents. HPE Media Server includes an XSL template for sending documents to CFS. This template is named `toCFS.xsl` and is in the HPE Media Server installation directory.
   `Input` | (Optional) A comma-separated list of the tracks that you want to output. Specify one or more tracks. If you do not set this parameter, the engine outputs all tracks that are configured by default as 'output' tracks. For information about whether a track is considered an 'output' track, refer to documentation for your analysis, encoding, and ESP engines in the HPE Media Server Reference.

5. Configure how to combine records into documents. For information about how you can combine records, see Choose How to Output Data.

   - To output data in single record mode, set `Mode=SingleRecord`.
   - To output data in time mode, set `Mode=Time` and use the `OutputInterval` parameter to specify the amount of video content represented by each document.
   - To output data in event mode, set `Mode=Event` and use the `EventTrack` parameter to specify the event track.
   - To output data in bounded event mode, set `Mode=BoundedEvent` and use the `EventTrack` parameter to specify the event track.
   - To output data in at-end mode, set `Mode=AtEnd`.
   - To output data in page mode, set `Mode=Page`.

6. Save and close the configuration file. HPE recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the `ConfigDirectory` parameter.

Example

The following is an example configuration to send documents to CFS.

    [CFS]
    Type=CFS
    CfsHost=localhost
    CfsPort=7000
    XSLTemplate=./xsl/toCFS.xsl
    Mode=time
    OutputInterval=20s
