# Configuration Parameters for Testing Connectors

When you are configuring or testing a connector, you might find the following configuration parameters useful:

Parameter | Description
--- | ---
`CleanOnStart` | To delete the `actions` and `temp` directories when the connector starts, set `CleanOnStart=True`. Deleting the `actions` directory ensures that all queued actions are deleted.
`SynchronizeKeepDatastore` | When a connector runs the `synchronize` fetch action, it keeps a record of the files that have been extracted from a repository (the connector saves a datastore file for each completed fetch task). If you run the `synchronize` action again, the connector only processes new or updated files. When testing a connector, you might want to extract the same files from a repository more than once. To prevent the connector saving the datastore file, set `SynchronizeKeepDatastore` to `False`. The datastore is automatically discarded when the `synchronize` action is complete.
`EnableScheduledTasks` | When you are testing a connector, you might want to disable scheduled tasks (set `EnableScheduledTasks` to `False`). When scheduled tasks are disabled, the connector only runs actions in response to requests sent to the connector’s ACI port.
`IngestKeepFiles` `IngestWriteIdx` | To see the information that is extracted from the repository, before it is sent to CFS, set `IngestKeepFiles` and `IngestWriteIdx` to `True`. When `IngestKeepFiles` is true, CFS does not delete files from the `IngestSharedPath` temporary folder after they are ingested. When `IngestWriteIdx` is true, the connector writes document metadata to stub IDX files.
