Before you Configure New Listeners
Perform the following tasks before configuring new listeners:
2. Make sure that you have webMethods administrator privileges so that you can access Adapter for Apache Kafka administrative screens. For information about setting user privileges, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
3. Start Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator, if they are not already running.
4. Using Integration Server Administrator, make sure that the WmKafkaAdapter package is enabled. To verify the status of the WmKafkaAdapter package, see
Enabling Packages. 5. Start Designer if it is not already running.
6. Using Designer or webMethods Deployer, create a user-defined package to contain the listener, if you have not already done so. When you configure listeners, you must always define them in user-defined packages rather than in the WmKafkaAdapter package. For more information about managing packages, see
Overview of Package Management. Note:
If you are using Designer, use the Service Development perspective. For more information, see the webMethods Service Development Help for your release.
