Validating the results of an IdML load

After you load IdML books, you can validate the results.

1. If all software containers are configured and started as described in Loading IdML books, the loaded data are automatically transferred to the built-in Apache Kafka instance. As a result of this process, a number of Kafka topics whose names are prefixed with IBM®-ZRDDS-SNOW are created. You can check for the presence of these topics by running the following commands:

   cd ZOA_HOME
   ./bin/podmanManageZoa.sh kafka-topics
   

2. To view the detailed contents of a Kafka topic, you can run the following command:

   ./bin/podmanManageZoa.sh kafka-console-consumer --topic topic_name --from-beginning

3. After the ServiceNow application has established an active consumer group with the Kafka instance, you can run the following commands to see the status of that consumer group in consuming the posted data:
   • To identify the active consumer groups:

     ./bin/podmanManageZoa.sh kafka-consumer-groups --list

   • To check the status of a specific consumer group:

     ./bin/podmanManageZoa.sh kafka-consumer-groups --group group_name --describe
