You can dynamically specify configuration values with environment variables. You can use the Docker -e/--env or --env-file flags to specify various settings. You need to convert connect-distributed.properties file variables as described below and pass them as environment variables:

1. Convert to upper case
2. Prefix with A2_ORACDC_
3. Replace a period [.] with a single underscore (_]
4. Replace a dash [-] with double underscores [__]
5. Replace an underscore [_] with triple underscores [___]

Ports and volumes

Standard Kafka Connect port 8083 is exposed, for storing secrets and oracdc memory mapped files mountpoint /var/lib/oracdc is present

Mandatory settings

A2_ORACDC_BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS A list of Kafka brokers to connect to

A2_ORACDC_GROUP_ID A unique string that identifies the Connect cluster group this Worker belongs to

A2_ORACDC_OFFSET_STORAGE_TOPIC The name of the existing topic where connector and task configuration offsets are stored. This must be the same for all Workers with the same A2_ORACDC_GROUP_ID (group.id). Always create it as a compacted, highly replicated (3x or more) topic with a large number of partitions (e.g., 25 or 50, just like Kafka’s built-in __consumer_offsets topic) to support large Kafka Connect clusters.

A2_ORACDC_CONFIG_STORAGE_TOPIC The name of the existing topic where connector and task configuration data are stored. This must be the same for all Workers with the same A2_ORACDC_GROUP_ID (group.id). Always create this topic as a compacted topic with a single partition and a high replication factor (3x or more).

A2_ORACDC_STATUS_STORAGE_TOPIC The name of the existing topic where connector and task configuration status updates are stored. This must be the same for all Workers with the same A2_ORACDC_GROUP_ID (group.id). Always create this topic as a compacted, highly replicated (3x or more) topic with multiple partitions

oracdc configuration

For complete example please read How to Set Up Oracle Database Tables Replication in Minutes⁠

OR

Perform RDBMS configuration steps according to the Required Oracle database setup for oracdc Source connector⁠

Full list of oracdc configuration parameters is available here⁠

Example configuration for connector itself

Create JSON config file (do not forget to replace connection details with your actual data) e.g.

{
   "name" : "oracdc-test",
   "config" : {
     "connector.class" : "solutions.a2.cdc.oracle.OraCdcLogMinerConnector",
     "tasks.max" : "1",
     "a2.resiliency.type" : "fault-tolerant,
     "a2.wallet.location" : "/var/lib/oracdc/admin/wallet",
     "a2.jdbc.url" : "jdbc:oracle:thin:@VISION?TNS_ADMIN=/var/lib/oracdc/admin/network",
     "a2.include" : "SCOTT.DEPT,SCOTT.EMP"
   }
 }

Create connector by invoking REST API at exposed port

curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data @connector.json http://<CONTAINER_IP>:8083/connectors
