Retrieve Data from IBM Content Manager

To automatically retrieve content from IBM Content 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:

    ICMServer The name of the IBM Content Manager server (not the host name or IP address of the machine hosting the repository but the Content Manager server name).
    Username The user name to use to access IBM Content Manager. This must be the Library Server administrator that was created during the installation of IBM Content Manager.
    Password The password to use to access IBM Content Manager. For information about how to encrypt the password before adding it to the configuration file, see Encrypt Passwords.
    ICMQuery (Optional) The query to send to IBM Content Manager to retrieve content.
    MappedSecurity (Optional) A Boolean value that specifies whether the connector extracts Access Control Lists (ACLs) from items in the IBM Content Manager repository and adds an ACL to each document.

    For a complete list of parameters that you can use to configure the IBM Content Manager Connector, refer to the IBM Content Manager Connector Reference.

  2. Save and close the configuration file.
