# Create a New Fetch Task

To automatically retrieve content from an Enterprise Vault, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the `Number` parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type `Number=1`. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the `Number` parameter by one (1). Below the `Number` parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

4. Below the `[FetchTasks]` section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

       [FetchTasks]
       Number=1
       0=MyTask

       [MyTask]

1. In the new section, set the `ConnectionString` parameter:

   `ConnectionString` | The connection string used to connect to the backend ODBC server. The format of the string is: `user/password@dsn`

2. (Optional) You can set further configuration parameters to customize how the connector retrieves data from the repository. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Enterprise Vault Connector Reference.

3. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.

   NOTE:

   The connector saves or updates a data file for each completed fetch task. If you make changes to the configuration and want to reset the connector so that it retrieves all of your data again, delete the data files (`connector_[fetchtask_name]_datastore.db`) in the connector’s installation folder.
