Note: For information about exactly-once delivery offered by IBM MQ sink connector v2, see how to set up exactly-once delivery.
Follow the instructions to install the IBM MQ sink connector v2:
-
Download the connector plugin JAR file:
Go to IBM Fix Central and download the JAR file for the latest release.
-
Add the connector plugin to your Kafka Connect environment.
To add a connector, ensure you have your connector plugin directory or JAR files in the location specified in the
plugin.path
property of your Kafka Connect worker configuration (for example,<kafka>/config/connect-distributed.properties
). Theplugin.path
property is a comma-separated list of paths to directories that contain connector plugins.For example:
plugin.path=/usr/local/share/java,/usr/local/share/kafka/plugins,/opt/connectors
-
Restart Kafka Connect to make the new connector available in the environment.
