CDC Source

Step 2 - General

Name and Description

When configuring a CDC Source Node in Cortex after selecting it as your Source Type, Step 2 involves several key actions.

  • Assign a unique name to the Node, distinct from other Nodes in your Application.

  • Optionally, add a Description for detail and clarity.

  • The Node Name and Description will help distinguish it in the Canvas via Node Preview.

Enable Vault

You can also integrate Application-level Vaults into your Source Node configuration.

  • Activate the toggle to use Application-level Vaults.

  • Choose from existing Vaults and enter the corresponding Personal Encryption Key for access.

New Attributes

Defining new Attributes for the Node is a crucial part of Step 2. Here, you must not only name these Attributes but also select their respective Attribute Types.

  • Specify New Attributes for the Node and select their Attribute Types.

  • This setup is crucial for proceeding to Step 3, which involves Mapping the source's incoming fields to these Attributes.

Step 3 - Mapping

Map Type

In Step 3 of configuring your CDC Source Node in Cortex, the focus shifts to deciding on the Map Type for your incoming data. This step is critical as it determines how the data from the source will be structured and integrated into Cortex. For detailed information on the different Map Types and their specific features cf. Source Mapping Types.
