# View the Data in the IDX file

After you start the connector, it retrieves the data from the Exchange repository and sends it to CFS. CFS processes the information and writes an IDX file to disk. You can view the IDX file to see the data that is indexed into IDOL Server. If necessary, you can then configure the connector to extract additional metadata, or write a Lua Script to process the data according to your requirements.

To view the IDX file

1. Open the IDX file that is created by your import task (for example `C:\Autonomy\ExchangeConnectorCFS\post.idx`).

   The file contains documents (delimited by `#DREREFERENCE` and `#DREENDDOC`) for the items that are extracted from Exchange. A single message might be represented by multiple documents, and some of the documents might represent attachments.

2. View the documents in the IDX file to see what metadata has been extracted. In the following example, you can see that both the message content and metadata have been extracted:

       #DREREFERENCE 0000000038A1BB100...
       #DREFIELD FOLDERNAME="Inbox"
       #DREFIELD FOLDERPATH="/Top of Information Store/Inbox"
       #DREFIELD STORENAME="Mailbox - Administrator"
       #DREFIELD Subject="Files you requested"
       #DREFIELD To=""John Smith" <john.smith@example.com>"
       ...
       #DRECONTENT
