    Vorbereitungen

    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Configure connection and credential records for connecting to your local Apache Kafka environment.
    • The connection record contains the information required for making the connection to your local Kafka. Connection records are stored in the Kafka Connections [kafka_connection] table.
    • The credential record stores the authentication data required for the connection. Credential records are stored in the Kafka SSL credentials [kafka_ssl_credentials] table.
    After you've created both the connection record and the credential record, you can Create a Connection & Credential alias, which links your connection information and the credential data under a single name.
