# Insert Information into InfoArchive

To insert information into InfoArchive, follow these steps.

TIP: The connector inserts data into InfoArchive in the form of SIP packages. The fields in the SIP descriptor are described in the InfoArchive documentation.

To insert information into InfoArchive

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]

5. Ensure that the relevant OAuth parameters are included in the configuration file. For example, the following line imports the relevant parameters from a file named `oauth.cfg`. This file is generated by the OAuth configuration tool that is supplied with the connector (see Configure OAuth Authentication).

       [MyTask] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]

   For more information about importing parameters into a configuration file, see Include an External Configuration File.

6. (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.

7. Set the following configuration parameters to configure how to insert information into InfoArchive:

   InfoArchiveApiUrl | The base URL of the InfoArchive REST API.
   InfoArchiveApplicationID | The application ID to use when inserting or deleting items in InfoArchive.
   InfoArchiveDSSApplication | A value to use in the `application` element of Submission Information Package (SIP) descriptors generated by the connector.
   InfoArchiveDSSEntity | A value to use in the `entity` element of Submission Information Package (SIP) descriptors generated by the connector.
   InfoArchiveDSSHolding | A value to use in the `holding` element of Submission Information Package (SIP) descriptors generated by the connector.
   InfoArchiveDSSProducer | A value to use in the `producer` element of Submission Information Package (SIP) descriptors generated by the connector.
   InfoArchiveDSSPDISchema | A value to use in the `pdi_schema` element of Submission Information Package (SIP) descriptors generated by the connector. NOTE: When you insert documents, you must supply the metadata required by your chosen schema. The connector uses an XSL transform to convert IDOL document metadata into the PDI file used in the Submission Information Package (SIP).
   InfoArchiveXSLTransformPath | The path to a file containing an XSL transform. The connector uses the XSL transform to convert the IDOL document metadata into the PDI file, used in the Submission Information Package (SIP).

   For information about other configuration parameters that you can set, see Insert Configuration.

8. Save and close the configuration file.
9. You can now use the insert action to insert your data.
