# Retrieve Data from IBM Content Manager

To automatically retrieve content from IBM Content Manager, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is defined 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 following parameters:

   `ICMServer` | The name of the IBM Content Manager server (not the host name or IP address of the machine hosting the repository but the Content Manager server name).
   `Username` | The user name to use to access IBM Content Manager. This must be the Library Server administrator that was created during the installation of IBM Content Manager.
   `Password` | The password to use to access IBM Content Manager. For information about how to encrypt the password before adding it to the configuration file, see Encrypt Passwords.
   `ICMQuery` | (Optional) The query to send to IBM Content Manager to retrieve content.
   `MappedSecurity` | (Optional) A Boolean value that specifies whether the connector extracts Access Control Lists (ACLs) from items in the IBM Content Manager repository and adds an ACL to each document.

   For a complete list of parameters that you can use to configure the IBM Content Manager Connector, refer to the IBM Content Manager Connector Reference.

2. Save and close the configuration file.
