Installation Information:

Installing and configuring the fix for InfoSphere MDM Standard and Advanced Editions:
1) Take a backup of .jar file <MDM_INSTALLATION_PATH>/KafkaProcessor/lib/com.ibm.mdm.kafka.connector.jar
2) Replace the new .jar file at location <MDM_INSTALLATION_PATH>/KafkaProcessor/lib/com.ibm.mdm.kafka.connector.jar
3) Add the following content to Log4j.properties at the end:
    log4j.appender.performance=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
    log4j.appender.performance.File=../logs/textsearchstats.log
    log4j.appender.performance.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
    log4j.appender.performance.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %m%n
    log4j.appender.performance.MaxFileSize=10MB
    log4j.appender.performance.MaxBackupIndex=5
    log4j.appender.performance.append=true
    log4j.logger.com.ibm.mdm.kafka.graph.elasticsearch.logging=INFO,performance
4) Also in kafkaruntimeForES.properties/kafkaruntime.properties(whichever is used) update following :
    message.size=<No of Messages to be processed in kafka at one time>
    connection.timeout=<Timeout value to be set while making call to ES>
    bypass.exceptions=<Exception to be bypassed and not hang the container. Setting to "ANY" will bypass all the exceptions>
    isDirectSyncToES=<This will skip the GET call to ES and will not verify if the record exists in ES or not>
    retry.count=<Number of time retry should be performed>
    retry.interval=30000 <Interval after which retry should be performed.Value should be in milliseconds>
    retry.exceptions=ConnectException <Exceptions on which retry should be performed>
5) Restart stream processor for elastic search
To enable sample batch stream application to export the changed entities, follow these steps:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Copy getPersonBatch.xml and getOrganizationBatch.xml to the folder <MDM_INSTALLATION_PATH>/KafkaProcessor/templates
b) Modify the kafkabatch.properties in the folder <MDM_INSTALLATION_PATH>/KafkaProcessor/properties for the following keys to refer to new request template file.
    #Template for getPerson request
    Person.template=getPersonBatch.xml
    #Template for getOrganization request
    Organization.template=getOrganizationBatch.xml
c) Replace the file PublisherBatchStreamProcessor.xml in  <MDM_INSTALLATION_PATH>/KafkaProcessor/properties
d) Restart stream processor for Sample batch runKafkaBatchStreams.sh if its running.

The following is a list of functional fixes:

 
APAR Number: APAR Description:
IT38062 Pods restarting due to connection Exception when making ES call
IT38061 Allow configuration of encoding instead of requiring UTF-8
IT38063 Allow configuration of message size
IT38315 Record processing skipped during connection interruptions
IT38369 Batch kafka stream processor fails due to TransformResponseProcessor exception
