Connect to Confluent Schema Registry

Learn to create a connection to Confluent Schema Registry that is used in conjunction with the Confluent Kafka connection to serve as a source or target for a OCI GoldenGate Big Data deployment.

Before you begin

Before you create the connection, ensure that you review how OCI GoldenGate connects to your source and targets.

Create the connection

To create a Confluent Schema Registry connection:
  1. From the OCI GoldenGate Overview page, click Connections.
    You can also click Create Connection under the Get started section and skip to step 3.
  2. On the Connections page, click Create Connection.
  3. In the Create Connection panel, complete the General Information fields as follows:
    1. For Name, enter a name for the connection.
    2. (Optional) For Description, enter a description that helps you distinguish this connection from others.
    3. For Compartment, select the compartment in which to create the connection.
    4. From the Type dropdown, under Big Data, select Confluent Schema Registry.
    5. (Optional) Click Show advanced options to manage keys or add tags.
      1. Under Security, select one of the following:
        • Select Use Oracle-managed encryption key to leave all encryption key management to Oracle.
        • Select Use customer-managed encryption key to select a specific encryption key stored in your OCI Vault to encrypt your connection credentials.
      2. Under Tags, add tags to organize your resources.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Complete the Connection details fields as follows:
    1. Enter the Confluent Schema Registry URL.

      Note:

      If a private IP is entered, then OCI GoldenGate rewrites the private IP in the format, ip-10-0-0-0.ociggsvc.oracle.vcn.com.
    2. Select an Authentication type from the dropdown. Select from:
      • None
      • Basic authentication (default)
      • Mutual authentication
    3. For Username, enter the Confluent Schema Registry connection string, and then enter the Password.
    4. (Optional) Drag-and-drop or select a Truststore file, and then enter the Truststore password.
    5. For Network connectivity, select a Traffic routing method:
      • Shared endpoint, to share an endpoint with the assigned deployment. You must allow connectivity from the deployment's ingress IP.
      • Dedicated endpoint, for network traffic through a dedicated endpoint in the assigned subnet in your VCN. You must allow connectivity from this connection's ingress IPs.
  6. Click Create.
The connection appears in the Connections list, where you can select it to view its details. Ensure that you create a connection to Confluent Kafka and then assign both the connections to a Big Data deployment to use as a source or target.
