Create a New Fetch Task

To automatically retrieve content from an EMC SourceOne repository, 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.

When the Synchronize fetch action is initiated, the connector retrieves a list of folders and messages in the SourceOne repository. The connector can retrieve this information through the SourceOne Search Web Service, or by directly accessing the SourceOne databases.

After the connector has retrieved the message identifiers, the connector uses the Document Web Service to retrieve the message content and metadata.

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. Set the following parameters so that the connector can authenticate with the SourceOne web services.

    Username The user name for authentication with SourceOne Web Services.
    Password The password for authentication with SourceOne Web Services.
    Domain The domain of the user specified by the Username parameter.

    For example:

    [MyTask]
    Username=user
    Password=9sbHyvA
    Domain=DOMAIN
  2. Set the DocumentServiceUrl parameter.

    DocumentServiceUrl The URL of the Document Web Service.

    For example:

    [MyTask]
    Username=user
    Password=9sbHyvA
    Domain=DOMAIN
    DocumentServiceUrl=Documentserviceurl=http://server/ExDocMgmtSvc/DocumentService.Svc
  3. Choose whether to retrieve folder names and message identifiers through the Search Web Service, or by accessing the SourceOne databases directly.

  4. (Optional) To restrict the content that is retrieved from the repository, set the FolderRegex parameter. For more information about the configuration parameters that you can use with the SourceOne Connector, refer to the SourceOne Connector Reference.

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