Adapter for Apache Kafka2. If you are installing the adapter on an existing Integration Server, shut down the Integration Server.
3. Start the Installer wizard.
4. Select the webMethods release that includes the Integration Server on which you want to install the adapter. For example, if you want to install the adapter on Integration Server 9.6, select the 9.6 release.
5. Specify the installation directory as follows:
If you are installing on an existing

webMethods installation directory that contains the host
Integration Server.
If you are installing on an existing
Integration Server and the adapter, specify the installation directory to use.
6. In the product selection list, select Adapters > webMethods Adapter 9.6 for Apache Kafka.
