Question

Can I use the {dss_tx_seq} value as the Kafka message key?

Environment

  • DSS 6
  • Location: Kafka

Answer

We don't support using the {dss_tx_seq} value as a Kafka message key because the value contains many leading zeros and doesn't fit. We recommend using the {dss_tbl_name} value because each table in the channel uses one partition.
