# Insert Data into Repositories

Some connectors can insert data into a repository. You can therefore use a connector to extract data from one repository, process the data, and send it to another connector to insert it into another repository.

To insert data into another repository, you must:

- configure the Ingest parameters of the first connector to point to the destination connector, rather than a CFS. Use the following parameters:

  `IngesterType` | To send data to a connector, set this parameter to `Connector`.
  `IngestHost` | The host name or IP address of the machine on which the destination connector is running.
  `IngestPort` | The ACI port of the destination connector.

- create a Lua script to process the information that is extracted, and convert it to the correct format. You can run the script automatically by creating an Ingest action for the first connector. Use the `IngestActions` parameter:

  `IngestActions` | The path of a Lua Script to run to convert the information into the correct format.

  To see the information that is required by the destination connector for inserting files into a repository, examine an `AUTN_IDENTIFIER` from the destination repository.

  TIP:

  You can also specify ingest actions when you use IDOL Admin to run the fetch task.

You can send files to a Digital Safe connector, which inserts the files into Digital Safe. You can retrieve the files at a later date using the Digital Safe connector’s Collect action.
