Integration Best Practices

  1. Idempotent Scripts
    • Configuration queries are naturally idempotent (read-only)
    • Safe to retry on failure
    • Can be run multiple times without side effects
  2. Parallel Execution
    # Run multiple configuration checks in parallel
       ./CliTool.sh get-all-datasource-names-for-logged-in-user &
       ./CliTool.sh get-all-kafka-cluster-names &
       wait
       echo "All configuration checks complete"
  3. Result Validation
    # Validate output format before parsing
       OUTPUT=$(./CliTool.sh get-all-kafka-cluster-names)
       
       if echo "$OUTPUT" | grep -q "^Found [0-9]* kafka clusters:"; then
           echo "Valid output format"
           # Parse and use results
       else
           echo "Unexpected output format: $OUTPUT"
           exit 1
