There might be occasions when you do not want to send documents to a CFS. For example, you might use the Collect action to retrieve documents from one repository and then insert them into another. You can use a Lua script to transform the documents from the source repository so that they can be accepted by the destination repository.
To run a Lua script from a connector, use one of the following methods:
IngestActions configuration parameter in the connector’s configuration file. For information about how to do this, see Run a Lua Script using an Ingest Action. The connector runs ingest actions on documents before they are sent for ingestion.IngestActions action parameter when using the Synchronize action.InsertActions configuration parameter in the connector’s configuration file. The connector runs insert actions on documents before they are inserted into a repository.CollectActions action parameter when using the Collect action.|
