# IngesterType

The `IngesterType` parameter specifies the type of ingestion process. Set this parameter to one of the following values:

- `CFS` or `AsyncPiranha`. The `IngestHost` and `IngestPort` parameters point to a Connector Framework Server, which can be used to index documents into IDOL Server.
- `NIFI`. The `IngestHost` and `IngestPort` parameters point to an instance of Apache NiFi. Specify the ID of the NiFi input port with the parameter IngestNiFiInputPort. Specify whether to use SSL/TLS with the parameter IngestNiFiUseSSL. Specify whether to stream files to NiFi or send file paths by setting the parameter IngestNiFiStreamFiles.
- `Connector` or `ConnectorInsert`. The `IngestHost` and `IngestPort` parameters point to another connector. Documents fetched from a repository by the `synchronize` action are inserted or updated in another repository using the specified connector. Deleted documents are deleted in another repository using the specified connector. If this option is used, you might need to use the `IngestActions` parameter to convert the document into a form that can be handled by the other connector.
- `DigitalSafeRest`. Ingest into Digital Safe through the Digital Safe REST API. For more information, see Digital Safe (REST API).
- `DigitalSafeSoap`. (DEPRECATED) Ingest into Digital Safe through the Digital Safe SOAP API. For more information, see Digital Safe (SOAP API).
- `Indexer`. Use this value to index documents directly into IDOL Server, a Vertica database, or a MetaStore. For information about how to index documents directly into IDOL Server, Vertica, or a MetaStore, refer to the Administration Guide for your connector.
