IDOL Admin 23.2

# Search for Document Updates

(Available for IDOL connectors.)

The Synchronize button on the Overview tab in the Status page enables you to search a repository for document updates. The connector sends the updates to an Ingestion module, such as Connector Framework Server. You can specify individual task sections in the connector configuration file to use to perform actions, or you can fetch documents from all task sections. In addition, you can specify a Lua script or scripts to process the information that is extracted, and convert it to the correct format, or add metadata to the documents.

You can also specify a custom configuration file if you want to override parameters in the main configuration file.

The `Synchronize` fetch action and the `TaskSections` and `IngestActions` parameters perform this task. For information about this action, see the Connector Framework Server Reference.
