Does DevTest has Apache Kafka Listener??

[SenthilManohar Shunmugasundaram]

Hello everyone--

We were trying to implement a Apache-Kafka component, when deployed on the VSE, should be listening to some pre-configured topics.. While we were able to achieve this thorough a testCase, but unable to implement in VSE as planned... I was searching for Apache Kafka listener component in DevTest SV, but unable to find one. I am on 10.7.0 and I am not sure if 10.7.2 has it?? 

As a workaround, I was trying to deploy the Apache Kafa Send-Receive step as a listener, but unable to deploy the vsm.. it was erroring out with some java exception..

Does anyone have a solution for this use-case??

(For time-being, have implemented an **** solution, with a HTTP/S Listener just before the Kafka Send/Receive step and were able to trigger the listening via API calls.. but we want to get of this and implement a more efficient solution )

Thanks,

Senthil Manohar

Hi Senthil

I am using DevTest version 10.7.2 and it does have a Kafka Listener Step.  You build out the Kafka Send Receive step using assets to define the connection.  It looks very similar to MQ and the other messaging interfaces.
