Question

Is task manager application necessary to consume data from Kafka?

Hi Guys,

Can we use Kafka Tool Plug-in without installing Task Manager Application?

Will it work without it or we should use it?

    Impossible to say without more details !?!

    AFAIK, the plugin itself will only store the messages to DB.

    I have gone through the Documentation provided in Kafka tool. 

    There they have mentioned the below line. 

    "Install Transaction Manager and
    Follow instructions to create new job_type(s) and process model(s) to handle kafka topics, could be one or multiple depending on requirements."

    Depending on your requirements, use the transaction manager, or implement your own way of pulling the messages from DB and start your own logic.
