Configuring a Kafka Client Connection

To publish or subscribe messages, you must first configure a Apache Kafka client connection. The Apache Kafka client connection contains the parameters required to connect to the Apache Kafka cluster. The Apache Kafka client connection is used by all the activities in the Apache Kafka category.

Note: As TIBCO Cloud Integration supports ports in the range 1024-9999, ensure that the open port of the local broker configuration or the hosted Apache Kafka service is in this valid range.
Example of a valid service URL used in connection configuration for brokers fields: kafka-3507f830- johndoe-eb63.abccloud.com:2819
    Procedure

    To create subsequent connections, click the Create button.
