Using Adapter Services
The tasks required to use the adapter services are as follows:
1. Create an adapter connection using Integration Server Administrator. For details, see Overview of Adapter for Apache Kafka Connections.
2. Select the appropriate adapter service template and configure the adapter service using Designer.
Depending on the type of adapter service, you specify:
*The adapter connection
*The input fields and types as needed
*The output fields and types as needed
For more information about configuring adapter services, see Overview of Adapter Services.
3. If you plan to use an Integration Server flow or Java service to invoke the adapter service, design the flow or Java service to use this adapter service. You can use Designer to perform this task.
4. Manage the adapter service using Designer and Integration Server.
