# MarkLogic

You can use the MarkLogic connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from MarkLogic and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the MarkLogic Connector

To enable Sync to use data from MarkLogic, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **MarkLogic** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the MarkLogic connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to MarkLogic

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to MarkLogic.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to MarkLogic.
* **Server:** Enter the IP address of the server that hosts the MarkLogic database.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * (Optional) **Port:** Enter the port number to use if you are not using the default port for the selected API.
   * (Optional) **Database:** Enter the name of the MarkLogic database to which you want to connect.
   * (Optional) **API:** Select the API that the provider should use to query data. The default API is **ODBC**.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
