Introduction

IDOL Connectors retrieve data from repositories and create documents that are sent to Connector Framework Server or another connector. You might want to manipulate the documents that are created. For example, you can:

  • Add or modify document fields, to change the information that is indexed into IDOL Server.
  • Add fields to a document to customize the way the document is processed by CFS.
  • Convert information into another format so that it can be inserted into another repository by a connector that supports the Insert action.

When a connector sends documents to CFS, the documents only contain metadata extracted from the repository by the connector (for example, the location of the original files). To modify data extracted by KeyView, you must modify the documents using CFS. For information about how to manipulate documents with CFS, refer to the Connector Framework Server Administration Guide.
