Create a Kafka server (Confluent Cloud) with Schema Registry - Connect_CDC - connect_cdc_mimix_share - 6.x

This section describes inserting a message into Kafka using a particular key and value.

To create a new server:

1. Select the EDMM and expand Hosts, Servers, Tables node.

2. Select DBMS servers > New Server.

   The Server Properties dialog box opens.

3. Enter the required information:

   Parameter	Value
   Name	ConfluentCloud
   DBMS type:	Kafka
   Message format:	Schema Registry {Avro}

4. Select Distribution Key for the Partition.
   Important: The Enable Kafka Tombstone records box is only enabled if Partition is Distribution Key and Message format: is Schema Registry (Avro).
   
   
   

   If Partition is Round Robin or Table name and Message format: is Schema Registry (Avro), the Enable Kafka tombstone records option will be unchecked and disabled.

   
   
   
5. Click OK or Apply.

   The Server Properties dialog closes.

6. From the Director, select a table in the Distributions node to create two schemas:
   • one schema for the key
   • one schema for the value

The records are created in a source table and replicated to Kafka. When you delete a record and Kafka topics are tightly packed together, the Tombstone records and related keys are suppressed.
