For an Apache Kafka target, enter the path to the local Kafka client libs directory on the PowerExchange CDC Publisher system. This directory contains the Kafka .jar files. For example:

C:\kafka_2.11-0.11.0.0\libs

.

For a MapR Streams target, enter the path to the MapR lib directory that contains both the MapR client libraries and MapR Kafka client libraries. For example:

C:\opt\mapr\lib

.

If the CDC Publisher runs on the MapR server, this path points to the local MapR lib directory that contains both client libraries. If the CDC Publisher runs on a host that is remote from the MapR server, the local MapR lib directory contains the MapR client libraries but not the MapR Kafka client libraries. In this case, you must copy the kafka-clients-

version

-mapr-

nnnn

.jar file from the MapR server to the local MapR lib directory.

Define this environment variable if you plan to run the PowerExchange CDC Publisher utility scripts by using batch files instead of running the scripts directly from the

pwxcdcpub_root_installation

\bin

subdirectory. In each batch file, you can reference %PWXPUB_HOME% instead of the full path to the root installation directory.
