Configuration of the Kafka cron task

You configure an instance of the Kafka cron task for each of your Kafka queues. The cron task consumes Kafka messages based on the schedule that you specify. All message consumption is controlled by the Kafka cron task.

Kafka cron task setup

The Kafka cron task consumes messages according to whether the queue is sequential or continuous. In the Cron Task Setup application, add one or more instances of the Kafka cron task. Define the cron task schedule, administrative user to notify about problems, whether the cron is active, and whether to keep history. For each instance, specify values for the following properties:
Property Description Default
TOPIC The name of the Kafka topic. This value is required. None
MESSAGEHUB The name of the Kafka provider that is registered in the product. This value is required. None
MESSAGEPROCESSOR The message processor. The same message processor is used for JMS processing. This value is optional. If no value is specified, the default values are used.
