Documentum Connector 12.13

# Retrieve Documents from Documentum

To automatically retrieve content from Documentum, 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. These are used to connect and authenticate with Documentum:

   `Username` | The user name that the connector should use to authenticate with the Documentum repository.
   `Password` | The password that the connector should use to authenticate with the Documentum repository.
   `Domain` | (Optional) The domain of the user specified by the `Username` parameter.
   `Docbase` | The name of the repository that you want to retrieve content from.

2. Specify the documents that you want to retrieve from Documentum. The connector retrieves all documents by default.

   - To filter the documents that are returned, you can set the following optional parameters:

     `FieldQueryN` | A statement to filter the documents that are returned from the Documentum repository.
     `FolderCSVs` | A comma-separated list of folders from which documents are retrieved. If you do not set this parameter, the connector retrieves documents from all folders.
     `FolderRecursion` | A Boolean value that specifies whether the connector searches subfolders of the paths specified by `FolderCSVs`.

     For example:

         [MyTask]
         Username=user
         Password=pa55w0rd
         Docbase=docbase
         FieldQuery0=r_content_size>0
         FolderCSVs=/documentum/docs
         FolderRecursion=true

     For a complete list of the parameters that you can use, refer to the Documentum Connector Reference.

   - To specify a custom statement to query Documentum, set the `SelectStatement` parameter:

     `SelectStatement` | The query to use to identify the documents to retrieve from the Documentum repository. The query must return a column named `r_object_id`. You can use the string `@lastruntime` to represent the time of the last successful synchronize task.

     For example:

         [MyTask]
         Username=user
         Password=pa55w0rd
         Docbase=docbase
         SelectStatement=SELECT DISTINCT(dm_document.r_object_id) FROM dm_document

3. Choose whether to run the connector in incremental mode, by setting the `Incremental` parameter:

   - To run the connector in incremental mode, set `Incremental=true`. Each time the task runs, the connector retrieves only the new, modified, and deleted documents.
   - To perform a full synchronize, set `Incremental=false`. Each time the task runs, the connector retrieves all of the documents that match your query or filters.
4. Save and close the configuration file.
