Automatic Topic creation in Embedded Kafka in Pega
Hello, I trying to produce a message from Pega application and send to a new topic with in embedded kafka in pega. But it did not create Topic automatically. Can anyone please share insights ?
Approach: I have created a Data flow to output a dataset. The data set is of type kafka and entered a new topic in the data set rule. Kafka configuration instance is pointing to the same host of Pega host. I see the connection established successfully by testing connection. I attempted to run the Data flow. but its getting timed out. After doing little research the topic will be created automatically only if auto enablement of topic creation is allowed.
So I attempted to update "server.properties" config file with in embedded kafka, that is present in the same pega node. And set the auto.create.topics.enable=true and restarted the tomcat node. But I see that the property is resetting back to auto.create.topics.enable=false always each time server is restarted. Hence I am unable to create topic automatically by producing message to kafka topic.
The pega version is 8.4.2
Could you please help me on this ?
