Connector Framework Server 24.1

# Ingest Data using Connectors

To configure a connector to send data to CFS, follow these steps.

To configure a connector to send data to CFS

1. Stop the connector, if it is running. For information about how to stop a connector, refer to the connector’s documentation.
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` | To send data to CFS, set this parameter to `CFS`.
   `IngestHost` | The host name or IP address of the CFS.
   `IngestPort` | The ACI port of the CFS.
   `IngestSSLConfig` | (Optional) The name of a section in the connector’s configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use when communicating with the CFS.

   For example:

       [Ingestion]
       EnableIngestion=True
       IngesterType=CFS
       IngestHost=localhost
       IngestPort=7000

4. (Optional) If your connector and CFS are installed on different machines, you might need to set either `IngestDataPort` or `IngestSharedPath`.

   More information

   By default, CFS reads files from their original location. For files that were ingested by a File System Connector this could be any location on a file system or a network share. Most other connectors download files from a repository to the connector's `TempDirectory`.

   If CFS cannot read files from their original location or from the connector's temporary directory you should set either `IngestDataPort` or `IngestSharedPath`. This might be necessary when you install the connector and CFS on separate machines.

   - When you set `IngestDataPort`, the connector sends the files to the CFS data port. The data port is configured by the `DataPort` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the CFS configuration file.
   - When you set `IngestSharedPath`, the connector copies the files to a shared folder. You must then ensure that CFS can access this location.

5. Save and close the configuration file.

   You can now start the connector.
