# UseStubXML

The `UseStubXML` parameter specifies whether to read stub XML documents and merge the metadata they contain into the document for the corresponding file. You can use stub XML documents to add additional metadata to the documents that are created by the connector.

TIP: A stub XML document must be in the same directory as its corresponding file, but with an `.xml` extension. For example, a stub for the file `document.pdf` would be named `document.pdf.xml`. The stub must contain a `DREREFERENCE` field, as in the following example.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <DOCUMENT>
        <DREREFERENCE>My File</DREREFERENCE>
        <my_field>my_value</my_field>
        <my_other_field>my_other_value</my_other_field>
    </DOCUMENT>

You cannot set both `UseStubIDX=TRUE` and `UseStubXML=TRUE`.

Type: | Boolean
Default: | False (stub XML files are indexed as separate documents)
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName or FetchTasks
Example: | `UseStubXML=True`
