Asynchronous Apache Kafka Listener Notifications
When you create an asynchronous listener notification (Apache Kafka or Confluent Kafka), Adapter for Apache Kafka creates a publishable document type. The publishable document type defines the structure of the document. At run time, after the listener retrieves a message from the Kafka topic, the listener invokes the asynchronous listener notification. The asynchronous listener notification publishes the document that has the structure defined by the publishable document type created with the asynchronous listener notification.
An asynchronous listener notification can publish a document in either of the following ways:
*Publish to a Universal Messaging when Integration Server is connected to a Universal Messaging.
*Publish locally to Integration Server when Integration Server is not connected to a Universal Messaging.
*Publish to a JMS Provider configured using Integration Server Administrator.
To process the message from the queue, you must create an Integration Server trigger that subscribes to the document type that Adapter for Apache Kafka created with the asynchronous listener notification. For more information about using triggers with services, see the Publish-Subscribe Developer’s Guide for your release.
To select a publishing destination for asynchronous listener notification messages, see Configuring an Apache Kafka Asynchronous Listener Notification and Configuring an Confluent Kafka Asynchronous Listener Notification.
Synchronous and asynchronous listener notifications (Apache Kafka or Confluent Kafka) are applicable for Apache Kafka and Confluent Kafka Consumers only.
