# Destinations

Destinations represent the exact locations on a target resource where data sent from OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights is sent. You can associate one or more destinations with a target to define the exact locations on the target where the sent data stored.

Once created, a destination can be deactivated and then activated as needed. If you deactivate a destination while data is being sent to it, all data in progress is sent; no additional send actions can be performed once the destination is deactivated. Once deactivated, a destination cannot be edited. Only activated destinations can be selected when sending documents to a target.

Destinations can be deleted if no actions are currently being performed against it. Be aware that destinations with no pending actions are deleted automatically when you delete the associated target.

NOTE: When a Content Manager target is created, destinations are automatically created for each associated Content Manager origin and are deactivated by default. You must activate the desired destinations before you can send documents.

Content Manager destinations cannot be manually created in OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights, nor can they be edited or deleted. Content Manager destinations are deleted if the associated target is deleted.

Updates made to source origins in Content Manager are picked up during periodic scans by Data Discovery & Risk Insights and the Content Manager destinations are updated accordingly.

To create a destination

1. From the primary navigation pane, click Targets > Destinations.

   The Destinations page opens.

2. Click NEW DESTINATION.

   The New Destination dialog opens.

3. Complete the details for the new destination.

   Option | Description
   --- | ---
   Name | Type a meaningful, unique name for the destination. Limits: Maximum 50 characters.
   Description | Type a meaningful description for the new destination. Limits: Maximum 250 characters.
   Target | Select the desired target from the list.
   - - Relative Path | Type the relative path to the desired location on the target. Limits: Displays when a file system, Extended ECM, Documentum, or Google Drive destination is selected. TIP: Keep the following in mind. For Documentum destinations, type the relative path to the desired location on the target. For example, a cabinet within the Documentum repository defined by the target. For Google Drive destinations, the relative path is case sensitive. If the case in the path you type is different than the case in the path on Google Drive, a new folder is created at the level of the case difference. For example, the relative path on Google Drive is `hr/recruiting` and you type `hr/Recruiting`. The end result is that items sent to this destination will be sent to a new sub-directory `/Recruiting` under the `/hr` directory alongside the `/recruiting` sub-directory. Destination paths (or any portion of) associated with a given target must not overlap in any way. Do not start with a slash (`\`). The path cannot contain any of the following special characters. `<` (less than) `>` (greater than) `:` (colon) `"` (double quote) `|` (vertical bar or pipe) `?` (question mark) `*` (asterisk) `/` (forward slash) The path cannot contain `.` or `..` before, after, or in between slashes (`\`) with no other characters and cannot end with `.` . Not valid:
       `..\` | `.\abc` | `abc\..` | `abc\.\def`
     - Valid:
       `ab..c` | `.abc` | `abc\d.e.f` | `abc\.def\gh`
   - - Document Library Path | Type the path to the document library path location on the SharePoint site to which documents will be sent, relative to the defined target. TIP: You can define a directory level that does not already exist in your SharePoint location. If the defined directory does not exist, OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights will create the directory when sending the data to SharePoint. Limits: Displays only if a SharePoint or SharePoint Online target is selected. Do not start with a slash (`\`). The path cannot contain `.` or `..` before, after, or in between slashes (`\` or `/`) with no other characters. Not valid:
       `\..\` | `\.\abc` | `\abc\..` | `\abc\.\def`
