Notifier

The Notifier is the component that reads the JSON notifications that are written by Scanner or Replay and sends notifications to the Kafka cluster.

When notifications are acknowledged by Kafka, the Notifier moves the file to the archive folder.

On start-up, Notifier calls the Manager API and retrieves details of any Notification Service Configurations (NSC) configured in the dsNet for IBM Data Cataloging. If more than one is found, the first one is used.

Retrieval of NSCs is overridden by defining the details of the Kafka configuration in the config file.
