Prerequisites

Before you can use Confluent Cloud as a target endpoint in a Replicate task, do the following:

• Open TCP ports to the cluster the Replicate Server machine

• Set permissions that will allow Replicate to write to the target topics.

• Either create a topic named attrep_apply_exceptions before starting the replication task or configure the cluster with auto.create.topics.enable=true.

  Information noteIf this topic does not exist, the task will always fail when it encounters a data error, regardless of the error handling policy.

  For a description of the attrep_apply_exceptions table, see Apply exceptions
