Automatic Table Key Detection
InfoConnect for Kafka can now auto-detect the key structure for InfoCDC based data flows. This feature eliminates a need for manually configuring the keys and schema at the connector level. Simply set “as400.isInfoCDCConfigured” property to true, and the connector will intelligently identify and use the appropriate keys.
Secure Secret Management via Kafka Topics
InfoConnect for Kafka now supports secure storage of secrets—such as database credentials and API keys—directly within a Kafka topic. The connector can retrieve, decrypt, and utilize these secrets at runtime, ensuring sensitive information is never exposed in plain text and is centrally managed for audits and compliance within Kafka ecosystem itself.
Enhanced Throughput with Optimized Thread Pool Management
Performance matters, especially at scale. We have optimized the connector’s internal thread pool handling, significantly improving throughput for multi-threaded tasks. This means faster data ingestion, lower latency, and more efficient resource utilization, empowering you to handle larger volumes of data with ease.
Flexible Column Ordering with Custom Single Message Transform (SMT)
Our newly introduced custom Single Message Transform (SMT) helps you define the order of columns within your message payloads. This flexibility enhances message readability by allowing you to prioritize business-related columns first, followed by metadata fields, or arrange them in any sequence that best fits your processing needs.
Azure Blob Storage Support for License and TLS Truststore Files
To further enhance deployment flexibility, the connector now supports Azure Blob Storage for storing license and TLS truststore files. This integration allows for secure, scalable, and centralized management of critical files, making it easier to deploy and manage connectors in cloud-native environments.
License and Truststore Certificate Management via Kafka Topics
You can now securely store license and truststore certificate content directly within a Kafka topic. The connector can retrieve this information at runtime and utilize it as needed. This approach centralizes the management of critical files, simplifies deployment, and enhances security by keeping sensitive information within your Kafka ecosystem.
