Adapter for Apache Kafka Package Management
 
Package Dependency Requirements and Guidelines
Enabling Packages
Disabling Packages
Importing and Exporting Packages
Adapter for Apache Kafka is provided as a package called WmKafkaAdapter. You can manage the WmKafkaAdapter package as you would manage any package on webMethods Integration Server.
When you create connections, and adapter services, define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmKafkaAdapter package. Doing so will allow you to manage the package more easily.
As you create user-defined packages in which to store connections, and adapter services, use the package management functionality provided in webMethods Deployer and set the user-defined packages to have a dependency on the WmKafkaAdapter package. That way, when the WmKafkaAdapter package loads or reloads, the user-defined packages load automatically. See the following diagram:
Package management tasks include:
*Setting package dependencies (see Package Dependency Requirements and Guidelines)
* Enabling Packages
* Importing and Exporting Packages
* Group Access Control
