# Send Documents Directly to a Content component

This section describes how to index documents from a connector directly into your text index.

TIP: In most cases, OpenText recommends sending documents to a Connector Framework Server (CFS). CFS extracts metadata and content from any files that the connector has retrieved, and can manipulate and enrich documents before they are indexed. CFS also has the capability to insert documents into more than one index, for example a Content component and a Vertica database. For information about sending documents to CFS, see Send Data to Connector Framework Server

To index documents directly into your text index

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` | Set this parameter to `Indexer`.
   `IndexDatabase` | The name of the database to index documents into.

   For example:

       [Ingestion]
       EnableIngestion=True
       IngesterType=Indexer
       IndexDatabase=News

4. In the `[Indexing]` section of the configuration file, set the following parameters:

   `IndexerType` | Set this parameter to `IDOL`.
   `Host` | The host name or IP address of the Content component.
   `Port` | The Content component ACI port.
   `SSLConfig` | (Optional) The name of a section in the connector's configuration file that contains SSL settings for connecting to the Content component.

   For example:

       [Indexing]
       IndexerType=IDOL
       Host=10.1.20.3
       Port=9000
       SSLConfig=SSLOptions

       [SSLOptions]
       SSLMethod=Negotiate

5. Save and close the configuration file.
