OpenText Connector 24.2

# Retrieve Information from OpenText

To automatically retrieve content from OpenText, 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. Ensure that the required authentication parameters are included in the configuration file:

   `Username` | The username used to access the OpenText API.
   `Password` | The password used to access the OpenText API.
   `OpenTextApiUrl` | The URL for the Open Text API.

2. (Optional) If a proxy server is required to access the repository, set the following parameters.

   `ProxyHost` | The host name or IP address of the proxy server.
   `ProxyPort` | The port of the proxy server.
   `ProxyUsername` | (Optional) The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
   `ProxyPassword` | (Optional) The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.

3. (Optional) You can set the following parameters to specify what to synchronize:

   `NodeIDMustHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes with the specified NodeID.
   `NodeIDCantHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes without the specified NodeID.
   `NodeNameMustHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes with the specified NodeName.
   `NodeNameCantHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes without the specified NodeName
   `NodeTypeMustHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes with the specified NodeType.
   `NodeTypeCantHaveRegex` | A regular expression used for filtering Nodes without the specified NodeType.

4. Save and close the configuration file.
