Enabling Listeners
The listener must be enabled to monitor the Kafka topic. When you create a listener, it is not automatically enabled.
Before you enable a listener, you must configure one or more listener notifications to associate with the listener. If no notifications are configured when you enable the listener, then the Integration Server Administrator displays a warning message.
After you have configured your listener notifications, you must enable the listener so that the associated notifications will communicate appropriately with the listener at run time. You enable the listeners using the
Integration Server. For more information on configuring listeners and notifications, see the sections on
Configuring a New Listener and
Configuring Listener Notifications.
Note:
You cannot enable a listener if the connection used by the listener is disabled.
When you reload a package that contains enabled listeners, the listeners will automatically be enabled when the package reloads. If the package contains listeners that are disabled, they will remain disabled when the package reloads.
Perform the following steps to enable a listener:
1. In the Adapters menu in the navigation area of the Integration Server Administrator, click webMethods Adapter for Apache Kafka.
2. In the webMethods Adapter for Apache Kafka menu, click Listeners.
3. In the Listeners page, select Enabled in the State column for the listener you want to enable.
Integration Server Administrator enables the listener.
4. Click Enable all suspended to quickly enable multiple suspended listeners.
