# Retrieve Information from Jama

To automatically retrieve information from Jama, create a new 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 parameters required to authenticate with Jama. The OAuth configuration tool (described in Configure OAuth Authentication) creates a file that contains these parameters, and you can include them in the connector's configuration file using the following syntax:

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

   For more information about including parameters from another file, see Include an External Configuration File.

2. Set the following configuration parameters:

   `JamaURL` | The Jama repository URL.
   `ProxyHost` | (Optional) The host name or IP address of the proxy server to use to access Jama.
   `ProxyPort` | (Optional) The port of the proxy server to use to access Jama.
   `SSLConfig` | The name of a section in the configuration file that contains SSL settings for the connection to the repository.

   For example:

       [MyTask] < "oauth.cfg" [OAUTH]
       JamaURL=https://jama.example.com
       ProxyHost=10.0.0.1
       ProxyPort=8080
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

       [SSLOptions]
       SSLMethod=Negotiate

   For more information about the configuration parameters that you can use to configure the connector, refer to the Jama Connector Reference.

3. Save and close the configuration file.

   You can now start the connector.
