# ImportExtractExternal

A Boolean value that specifies whether to process external files. OpenText recommends that you set this parameter to `FALSE`.

Some documents contain links to external files, for example URLs to files that are available through a web site. File Content Extraction processes a link to an external file as a sub-file, but because it cannot extract the external file it returns an error.

OpenText recommends setting this parameter to `FALSE` to prevent CFS creating documents (which will contain an error code) for sub-files that cannot be processed, and logging errors that are returned by File Content Extraction.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | True
Required | No
Configuration Section: | ImportService
Example: | `ImportExtractExternal=FALSE`
