Editing a Feed Application

About this task

You can edit feed applications to update configuration, Kafka details, or attribute mappings. Draft and Published feed applications can be edited, though published feed applications may require careful consideration before modification.

Procedure

Navigate to the Feeds section and locate the feed application you want to edit.
Click on the feed application name to open its detail view.
If the feed application is currently Published, disable it before editing.
1. In the feed application list or details view, click the three-dot menu for the published feed application.
2. Click Disable and confirm the action.
You can edit a feed application only after it is disabled.
After the feed application is disabled, click the Edit button to enter edit mode.
The feed application details become editable, and the interface displays an Edit button on each section that can be modified.
Modify the desired sections:
1. To update Basic Details, click Edit in the Configuration section and modify the settings as needed.
2. To update Kafka Details, click Edit and modify the Kafka Cluster, Bootstrap Servers, Topic, or Group ID. Remember to validate the connection after making changes.
3. To modify Mapping, click Edit in the Mapping section and update custom parser or manual attribute mappings as needed.
Save your changes.
1. Click Save to save the changes to the feed application.
2. If editing a Draft application, you can save and continue editing later.
3. If editing a Published application, saving creates an updated version. You may need to republish the application depending on your organization's policies.

Results

The feed application is updated with your changes. If you made significant modifications, test the feed application in a non-production environment before using it in critical pipelines.
