# Retrieve Information from the Repository

To automatically retrieve content from Quest Archive Manager, 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. In the new section, set the following parameters.

   `QAMAPIURL` | The base URL for the Quest Archive Manager API.
   `UserName` | The user name to use for requests to the API.
   `Password` | The password to use for requests to the API. For information about how to encrypt the password, see Encrypt Passwords.
   `MailBoxCantHaveRegex` | (Optional) A regular expression to restrict the mailboxes that are retrieved by the connector. If the name of a mailbox matches the regular expression, the mailbox is ignored.
   `MailboxMustHaveRegex` | (Optional) A regular expression to restrict the mailboxes that are retrieved by the connector. The name of a mailbox must match the regular expression, otherwise it is ignored.

   NOTE: The `UserName` and `Password` parameters specify the user name and password for the Quest Archive Manager API, but the application is hosted on IIS which might add another layer of authentication. For example, if IIS is configured to enforce NTLM authentication, set the parameters `NTLMUsername` and `NTLMPassword` in addition to `UserName` and `Password`. For more information about the configuration parameters that you can use to configure the Quest Archive Manager Connector, refer to the Quest Archive Manager Connector Reference.

2. (Optional) The connector might need to use a proxy server to access the Quest Archive Manager API. To configure a proxy server, set the following parameters:

   `ProxyHost` | The host name or IP address of the proxy server.
   `ProxyPort` | The port of the proxy server.
   `ProxyUsername` | The user name to use to authenticate with the proxy server.
   `ProxyPassword` | The password to use to authenticate with the proxy server.

3. Save and close the configuration file.
