# Retrieve Information from OpenText eDOCs

To automatically retrieve content from OpenText eDOCs, 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. Set the following configuration parameters:

   eDocsApiUrl | The URL of the eDOCs REST API.
   eDocsUsername | The user name to use when connecting to the eDOCs REST API.
   eDocsPassword | The password to use when connecting to the eDOCS REST 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 further parameters to choose the information to ingest. For more information about these parameters, see Content Selection.

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