  • mvn:org.apache.camel.k:camel-k-kamelet-reify
  • camel:kamelet

60.3. Usage

This section describes how you can use the salesforce-source.

60.3.1. Knative Source

You can use the salesforce-source Kamelet as a Knative source by binding it to a Knative object.

salesforce-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: salesforce-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: salesforce-source
    properties:
      clientId: "The Consumer Key"
      clientSecret: "The Consumer Secret"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "SELECT Id, Name, Email, Phone FROM Contact"
      topicName: "ContactTopic"
      userName: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel

60.3.1.1. Prerequisite

Make sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

60.3.1.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the salesforce-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f salesforce-source-binding.yaml

60.3.1.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the source by using the following command: 

kamel bind salesforce-source -p "source.clientId=The Consumer Key" -p "source.clientSecret=The Consumer Secret" -p "source.password=The Password" -p "source.query=SELECT Id, Name, Email, Phone FROM Contact" -p "source.topicName=ContactTopic" -p "source.userName=The Username" channel:mychannel

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.

60.3.2. Kafka Source

You can use the salesforce-source Kamelet as a Kafka source by binding it to a Kafka topic.

salesforce-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: salesforce-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: salesforce-source
    properties:
      clientId: "The Consumer Key"
      clientSecret: "The Consumer Secret"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "SELECT Id, Name, Email, Phone FROM Contact"
      topicName: "ContactTopic"
      userName: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic

60.3.2.1. Prerequisites

Ensure that you’ve installed the AMQ Streams operator in your OpenShift cluster and created a topic named my-topic in the current namespace. Make also sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

60.3.2.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the salesforce-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f salesforce-source-binding.yaml

60.3.2.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the source by using the following command: 

kamel bind salesforce-source -p "source.clientId=The Consumer Key" -p "source.clientSecret=The Consumer Secret" -p "source.password=The Password" -p "source.query=SELECT Id, Name, Email, Phone FROM Contact" -p "source.topicName=ContactTopic" -p "source.userName=The Username" kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1:KafkaTopic:my-topic

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
