For Kafka as a target, the schema definition should be an XSD file generated by the user. Data Exchange provides a helper function in DDW to generate an XSD file based on either an Enterprise Database Server schema or an RDMS schema. This XSD file must then be loaded into DDW.
To load an XSD file
On the Schema menu, click Load.
The Load Schema to Repository dialog box appears.
Select Data Manager Type as Kafka from the drop-down list.
Browse and choose the XSD file.
Click OK.
After the schema is loaded successfully, a status message is shown in the DDW status bar. The time taken to load a schema depends on its size. An error message pops up if the XSD file fails to load.
You can click Cancel to cancel the process.
Note: You can view the file path of the XSD file from the Properties Pane.
