# Collect

This action retrieves documents from a repository and sends the documents to a specified location. You can save the documents to disk or add them to the ingest queue. You must specify the documents that you want to collect by their identifiers.

Type: Asynchronous

Parameter Name | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`CollectActions` | A list of actions to perform on documents before they are transferred to their destination. The list is processed from left to right. Specify the actions in the form `action:parameters`. The available actions are: META. Add a custom field to the document. `META:Fieldname=FieldValue` ZIP. Add the document to a zip file. `ZIP:Filename[:Password]` LUA. Run a Lua script on the document. `LUA:Luascript`. For example, to add a field `CATEGORY=FILESYSTEM` to every document, zip all documents with a password, and add a field `COLLECTTIME=1234567890` to the zip, specify the collect action as: `CollectActions=META:CATEGORY=FILESYSTEM,ZIP:Output.zip:password, META:COLLECTTIME=1234567890` Escape any commas in the action parameters with a backslash (\). | No
`Config` | A base-64 encoded configuration. The configuration parameters that are set override the same parameters in the connector's configuration file. | No
`Destination` | The output destination as a UNC Path. If you don't set a destination, the documents are added to the ingest queue. The parameter can use fields from the document or identifier to construct the resulting destination for each document. To add a document field value as part of the destination, use the tag `<DOC:FIELDNAME>` within the string. To add an identifier field value as part of the destination, use the tag `<ID:FIELDNAME>` within the string. For example:
    destination=\\server\share\<ID:SOURCE>\<DOC:OWNER>
Where a field can have multiple values or is a comma-separated list, multiple destinations are created and each gets a copy of the document. You can specify a comma-separated list by preceding the colon with the comma-separated list separator character. For example: `<ID,:SOURCE>`. | No
`failedDirectory` | The directory in which the action reports failures. | No
`Identifiers` | A comma-separated list of identifiers to specify the documents to collect. | Required unless `IdentifiersXML` is set.
`IdentifiersXML` | This parameter can be specified instead of the `Identifiers` parameter. It specifies identifiers of the documents to collect, along with a set of custom metadata to associate with each collected document. The data must be provided in XML format as below:
    <identifiersXML>
      <identifier value="AUTN_IDENTIFIER1">
        <metadata name="CustomField" value="Value1"/>
        <metadata name="CustomField" value="Value2"/>
        <!-- ... -->
      </identifier>
      <identifier value="AUTN_IDENTIFIER2">
        <xmlmetadata>
          <CustomField>Value1</CustomField>
          <CustomField>Value2</CustomField>
          <AnotherField>
            <SubField>Value</SubField>
          </AnotherField>
        </xmlmetadata>
      </identifier>
      <!-- ... -->
    </identifiersXML>
When you specify the metadata, use the element `metadata` to specify a name and value for a single field, or `xmlmetadata` to provide metadata as structured XML. | Required unless `Identifiers` is set.
`Override_Config_Parameters` | Any other action parameters that you set override settings in the connector's configuration file. For example:
    /action=fetch&fetchaction=...
                 &[Section]Parameter=Value
where `[Section]` (optional) is the name of a configuration file section, `Parameter` is the name of a configuration parameter, and `Value` is the parameter value. | No

## Example

    http://localhost:7186/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Collect
                                      &Identifiers=...
                                      &Destination=C:\collected

## Response

As this is an asynchronous action, you receive a token in response to the request. A sample response to the action (as retrieved using the `QueueInfo` action) appears below.

In this example, the identifiers for both documents appear between `<success>` tags showing that they were collected successfully. The documents were output to `C:\collected` along with stub files containing their metadata.

    <action>
      <documentcounts>
        <documentcount
           added="0"          collected="2"       deleted="0"
    	errors="0"         holds="0"           ingestadded="0"
    	ingestdeleted="0"  ingestfailed="0"    ingestupdated="0"
    	inserted="0"       releasedholds="0"   seen="0"
    	task="DIR1"        unchanged="0"       updated="0"/>
      </documentcounts>
      <fetchaction>COLLECT</fetchaction>
      <tasks>
        <success>
          PGlkIHM9IkRJUjEiIHI9IkM6XEF1dG9ub215XEZpbGVTeXN0ZW1Db25uZWN0b3JDRlNcZGlyMVxmaWxlOC50eHQiLz4=
        </success>
        <success>
          PGlkIHM9IkRJUjEiIHI9IkM6XEF1dG9ub215XEZpbGVTeXN0ZW1Db25uZWN0b3JDRlNcZGlyMVxmaWxlOS50eHQiLz4=
        </success>
      </tasks>
      <token>MTAuMi4xMDUuMzQ6MTIzNDpGRVRDSDotMTI2NTE0MTI5NA==</token>
      <status>Finished</status>
      <queued_time>2009-Oct-15 16:02:53</queued_time>
      <time_in_queue>0</time_in_queue>
      <process_start_time>2009-Oct-15 16:02:53</process_start_time>
      <time_processing>0</time_processing>
      <process_end_time>2009-Oct-15 16:02:53</process_end_time>
    </action>

If a document cannot be collected successfully, the document identifier appears between `<failed>` tags and a message explains the reason for the failure:

    <tasks>
      <failed message="Error message">
        PGlkIHM9IkRJUjEiIHI9IkM6XEF1dG9ub215XEZpbGVTeXN0ZW1Db25uZWN0b3JDRlNcZGlyMVxmaWxlOS50eHQiLz4=
      </failed>
    </tasks>
