You must configure the connection details between your Micro-Integration and event broker service. This includes defining the location, authentication method, and destination details. Most of the connection details are the same for both source and target Micro-Integrations, however, you configure them at different points in the stepper when creating the Micro-Integration. You configure Event broker service connection details in:

  • the Source Connection step for a target Micro-Integrations

  • the Target Connection step for a source Micro-Integrations
