PowerExchange for Kafka Connections

PowerExchange for Kafka Connections

When you configure a Kafka connection, you define the connection attributes that the
PowerCenter Integration Service
 uses to connect to the Kafka cluster. You can configure SSL properties to connect to a Kafka Broker over SSL.
The following table describes the Kafka connection properties:
Property
Description
Kafka Broker List
The IP address and port combinations of the Kafka messaging system broker list.
The IP address and port combination has the following format:
<IP Address>:<port>
You can enter multiple comma-separated IP address and port combinations.
Retry Timeout in seconds
Number of seconds the Integration Service attempts to reconnect to the Kafka broker to write data.
If the source or target is not available for the time you specify, the mapping execution stops to avoid any data loss.
Default is 180 seconds.
Kafka Broker Version
Select
Apache 0.10.1.1 and above
 as the Kafka messaging broker version.
Additional Connection Properties
Comma-separated list of connection properties to connect to the Kafka broker.
To connect to a Kafka broker over SSL, ensure that you set the following properties:
  • security.protocol
  • ssl.truststore.location
  • ssl.truststore.password
If the
ssl.client.auth
 parameter is set to
required
 or
requested
, ensure that you set the following properties:
  • ssl.keystore.location
  • ssl.keystore.password
  • ssl.key.password
For example,
security.protocol=SSL,ssl.truststore.location=<complete path and name of the client.truststore.jks file>,ssl.truststore.password=<client truststore password>,ssl.keystore.location=<complete path and name of the client.keystore.jks file>,ssl.keystore.password=<client keystore password>,ssl.key.password=<password for the individual key>
You can also specify the configuration properties required to connect to a Kerberised Kafka cluster.
Specify the following property:
security.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT,sasl.kerberos.service.name=kafka,sasl.mechanism=GSSAPI
SSL Mode
Specifies whether the
PowerCenter Integration Service
 establishes a secure connection to the Kafka broker. You can select one of the following options:
  • disabled. The
    PowerCenter Integration Service
     establishes an unencrypted connection to the Kafka broker.
  • one-way. The
    PowerCenter Integration Service
     establishes an encrypted connection to the Kafka broker using truststore file and truststore password.
  • two-way. The
    PowerCenter Integration Service
     establishes an encrypted connection to the Kafka broker using truststore file and truststore password.
SSL TrustStore File Path
Applicable only if you select
one-way
 or
two-way
 as the SSL mode.
The complete path and file name of the truststore file. The truststore file contains the SSL certificate that the Kafka cluster validates against the Kafka broker certificate.
