Publication Method

Method by which to publish the data or files:

• - Publish data with a Data Integration task. The publication process triggers a Data Integration task to retrieve the data from the publishing application and write the data to the topic on the Cloud Integration Hub publication repository.
• - Publish files with a file ingestion task. The publication process triggers a file ingestion task to retrieve the files from the publishing application and write the files to a specific topic on the Cloud Integration Hub publication repository.
• - Publish data with an API. Use the Publish Data REST API to publish the data to a specific topic in the Cloud Integration Hub publication repository. Select this option for high-frequency publications of small transactions.
After you configure the publication properties, you can copy the following URLs from the publication page:
• ▪ URL of the REST API. Use this URL to publish the data.
• ▪ URL of the Swagger structure for the topic that the publication publishes data to. Use the structure in the publication request.
You use the URLs when you create the request that runs the publication.

Write Batch Size
