# Retrieve Information from Content Manager

To automatically retrieve content from Content Manager, create a new connector job (a Fetch Task) by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is configured 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. In the new section, set the following parameters to define the location of the repository and the credentials used to access the repository.

   `WorkgroupServer` | The host name or IP address of the Content Manager server.
   `WorkgroupServerPort` | The port of the Content Manager server.
   `DatabaseId` | The ID of the Content Manager database from which to aggregate documents.

   For example:

       [MyTask]
       WorkgroupServer=myserver.domain.com
       WorkGroupServerPort=1137
       DatabaseID=45

2. (Optional). You can set additional parameters to customize how the connector retrieves data from the repository. For more information about these parameters, refer to the Content Manager Connector Reference.
3. Save and close the configuration file. You can now start the connector.
