# Send Data to Connector Framework Server

This section describes how to configure ingestion into Connector Framework Server (CFS).

To send data to a CFS

1. Stop the connector.
2. Open the connector’s configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[Ingestion]` section, set the following parameters:

   EnableIngestion | To enable ingestion, set this parameter to `true`.
   IngesterType | To send data to CFS, set this parameter to `CFS`.
   IngestHost | The host name or IP address of the CFS.
   IngestPort | The ACI port of the CFS.
   IngestSSLConfig | (Optional) The name of a section in the connector’s configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use when communicating with the CFS.

   For example:

       [Ingestion]
       EnableIngestion=True
       IngesterType=CFS
       IngestHost=localhost
       IngestPort=7000

4. (Optional) If your connector and CFS are installed on different machines, you might need to set either IngestDataPort or IngestSharedPath.

   More information

   By default, CFS reads files from their original location. For files that were ingested by a File System Connector this could be any location on a file system or a network share. Most other connectors download files from a repository to the connector's TempDirectory.

   If CFS cannot read files from their original location or from the connector's temporary directory you should set either `IngestDataPort` or `IngestSharedPath`. This might be necessary when you install the connector and CFS on separate machines.

   - When you set IngestDataPort, the connector sends the files to the CFS data port. The data port is configured by the `DataPort` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the CFS configuration file.
   - When you set IngestSharedPath, the connector copies the files to a shared folder. You must then ensure that CFS can access this location.

5. (Optional) If you are sending documents to CFS for indexing, set the `IndexDatabase` parameter. When documents are indexed, the Content component adds each document to the database specified in the document's `DREDBNAME` field. The connector sets this field for each document, using the value of `IndexDatabase`.

   IndexDatabase | The name of the database into which documents are indexed. Ensure that this database exists in the Content component configuration file.

   - To index all documents retrieved by the connector into the same database, set this parameter in the `[Ingestion]` section.
   - To use a different database for documents retrieved by each task, set this parameter in the `TaskName` section.
6. Save and close the configuration file.
