Publication properties

Publication properties include general information about the publication, the application and topic to use for the publication, and, for publications that trigger a Data Integration task or a file ingestion task, the task to run and the publication scheduling.

The publication page can include the following properties:

Publication Name

Name of the publication. The name can contain up to 60 characters and can contain special characters.

Description

Description of the publication. The description can contain up to 255 characters.

Mode

Publication mode, enabled or disabled.

A disabled publication does not run according to schedule or by an external API. You can only run a disabled publication from the

Explore

page or from the topic page of the topic that the publication publishes to.

Publication Method

Method by which to publish the data or files:

Publish data with a Data Integration task

. The publication process triggers a Data Integration task to retrieve the data from the publishing application and write the data to the topic on the

Cloud Integration Hub

publication repository.

Publish files with a file ingestion task

. The publication process triggers a file ingestion task to retrieve the files from the publishing application and write the files to a specific topic on the

Cloud Integration Hub

publication repository.

Publish data with an API

. Use the Publish Data REST API to publish the data to a specific topic in the

Cloud Integration Hub

publication repository. Select this option for high-frequency publications of small transactions.

After you configure the publication properties, you can copy the following URLs from the publication page:

URL of the REST API. Use this URL to publish the data.

URL of the Swagger structure for the topic that the publication publishes data to. Use the structure in the publication request.

You use the URLs when you create the request that runs the publication.

Application

Application that publishes the data or files.

Topic

Topic to which the application publishes the data or files.

Task

Task that defines the publication mapping. Applies to publications that trigger a

Data Integration

task or a file ingestion task.

Write Batch Size

Number of records that the

Cloud Integration Hub

connector writes to the publication repository in a single batch. Applies to publications that trigger a

Data Integration

task.

If you configure the

Cloud Integration Hub

connection to use JDBC for private publication repository, batch size doesn't apply.

Scheduling

Method and frequency of data publishing. Applies to publications that trigger a

Data Integration

task or a file ingestion task.

Manually or by an external trigger: No schedule. You can use the following methods to run the publication:
Run manually from the
Cloud Integration Hub
explorer.
Run by an API. Call a REST API that starts the publication.

For file publications that use this scheduling option and that publish multiple files, all the files must be present in the source location when the publication starts.
By schedule: Runs the publication according to the defined schedule. Select one of the following options:
Every n minutes. Runs the publication in intervals of up to 60 minutes. You select the number of minutes from the list.
Hourly. Runs the publication in intervals of up to 24 hours. You select the number of hours from the list. The publication runs at the beginning of the hour. For example, if you enter 2, the publication runs at 00:00, 02:00, and at consecutive two-hour intervals.
Daily. Runs the publication at the same hour every day.
Weekly. Runs the publication every week on one or more days at the same hour. Select the check boxes of the days of the week that the publication runs on. For example, select Saturday and Sunday to schedule the publication to run on weekends.
Monthly. Runs the publication every month on a specific date or a specific day at the same hour.

For minutes and hourly intervals, you can define a period of the day when the publication runs. For example, schedule the publication to run during nighttime hours.

Select a time zone for the schedule. The schedule runs the publication in the selected time zone. You can change the default time zone in the user profile.

Define the publication intervals in the
Repeat running
area.
