# IdxWriter Task Parameters

The `IdxWriter` task writes documents to disk in IDX format. You can use the IDX files to see how data is indexed into IDOL Server, and then use other import tasks to modify and enrich the data.

The `IdxWriter` task can be configured as a Pre, Post, Update or Delete task.

To run the `IdxWriter` task with default settings, use the `Pre`, `Post`, `Update`, or `Delete` parameter to specify the file name for the IDX file:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=IdxWriter:C:\ConnectorFrameworkServer\my_file.idx

Alternatively, specify the name of a section that contains custom settings for the task:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=IdxWriter:IdxWriting

    [IdxWriting]
    IdxWriterFilename=my_file.idx
    IdxWriterMaxSizeKBs=100
    IdxWriterArchiveDirectory=./IDXArchive
