Specifies the type of data object operation.

This is a read-only property.

Ensures that the mapping processes the source messages and delivers them to the targets at least once. In the event of a failure, the source messages are duplicated but the messages are processed successfully. If the external source or the target is not available, the mapping execution stops to avoid any data loss.

By default, the Guaranteed Processing property is selected.

Time that the Confluent Kafka source starts reading messages from a Confluent Kafka topic when you run a mapping.

You can select one of the following options:

Custom. Read messages from a specific time.
Earliest. Read the earliest messages available on the Confluent Kafka topic.
Latest. Read messages received by the Confluent Kafka topic after the mapping has been deployed.

Time in GMT that the Confluent Kafka source starts reading Confluent Kafka messages from a Confluent Kafka topic.

Specify a time in the following format:

dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS

The milliseconds are optional.

Configuration properties for the consumer. If the Confluent Kafka data object is reading data from a Confluent Kafka cluster that is configured for Kerberos authentication, include the following property:

security.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT,sasl.kerberos.service.name=kafka,sasl.mechanism=GSSAPI

Only Avro schema is supported. You must disable the column projection.

None
Schema Registry: If you select this, then you can use only Filter, Router, Expression, Java, and Python transformations. Also, the data from KafkaAvroSerializer is supported.

If you select

External Location

for the dynamic schema strategy, you must create a

file having the schema content at the schema location and keep it under the topic name. For example:

<Schema Location>/<Topic Name>/reader.avsc

. Then, specify only the path till the schema location.
