Configuring JVM Options to Import Avro Schema

If you configure a session to read data from or write data to a Kafka topic in Avro format, you must configure the JVM options for the PowerCenter Client and the PowerCenter Integration Service to enable Avro data format and specify the path of the Hadoop distribution package.

Configuring JVM Options for the PowerCenter Client

You can configure the
ccijvmoptions.ini
file for the PowerCenter Client.

    file from the following location:
    <PowerCenter Installation Directory>\clients\PowerCenterClient\client\bin
  3. Add the following properties to the
    ccijvmoptions.ini
    file:
    -DENABLE_AVRO_FORMAT_FOR_KAFKA=true -DINFA_HADOOP_DIST_DIR=<Informatica installation directory>\clients\PowerCenterClient\hadoop\CDH_6.1
  4. Restart the PowerCenter Client.

Configuring JVM Options for the PowerCenter Integration Service
