# Send Data to Connector Framework Server

This section describes how to configure ingestion into Connector Framework Server (CFS).

To send data to a CFS

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` | 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.

   For example:

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

4. (Optional) If you are sending documents to CFS for indexing into IDOL Server, set the `IndexDatabase` parameter. When documents are indexed, IDOL adds each document to the database specified in the document's `DREDBNAME` field. The connector sets this field for each document, using the value of `IndexDatabase`.

   `IndexDatabase` | The name of the IDOL database into which documents are indexed. Ensure that this database exists in the IDOL Server configuration file.

   - To index all documents retrieved by the connector into the same IDOL database, set this parameter in the `[Ingestion]` section.
   - To use a different database for documents retrieved by each task, set this parameter in the `TaskName` section.
5. Save and close the configuration file.
