Save a schema to the schema registry

Any schema imported from a file or any generated schema can be saved to the schema registry. All schemas, regardless of their source, are saved as Avro schemas. Once the schema is saved, then the schema in the Message Designer pane will be bound by the rules enforced by the schema registry. Therefore, you want to make any changes before you save the schema to the registry.

Note: You can always remove the connection of your schema in the Message Designer pane from the schema registry by clicking Stop Using Registry.

In this release, schemas can only be saved to a schema registry. They cannot be saved to a file.

1. From the Modify View page, click Save Schema to Registry.

   Note: Schema Options must be selected for this button to appear.

   Before you save the schema to the registry, you can edit and delete the schema properties. You can also reorder the properties if the schema is not synchronized with the asset shape, that is, if it is set to Free-form. Drag and drop the properties to change their order.

   

2. In the Save Schema to Registry window, specify the location of the schema registry in the Schema Registry URL field.

   Tip: Start typing in the field and a list of available schema registries appears.

3. Enter a name for your schema in the Schema Subject field and click Save.

   You can still edit some of the properties of the schema properties. However, you can no longer reorder or delete schema properties.

   

   Tip: You can click Stop Using Registry to remove the connection of this schema to the schema registry. Once you do this, you can return to making any changes you could before you saved the schema.
