Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Stream Producer:** Enables automatic streaming of changes from ServiceNow tables to Kafka topics using change data capture (CDC) technology. This supports real-time synchronization of inserts, updates, and deletes with external applications. * **Avro Serialization Support:** Stream Producer supports Avro format serialization, converting CDC payloads using auto-generated table schemas to Avro messages before sending to Kafka. * **OAUTHBEARER Authentication:** Stream Connect now supports OAUTHBEARER within the SASL credential framework, enhancing security and compliance with OAuth standards for Kafka message replication. * **Stream Connect Dashboard:** A monitoring tool available from the ServiceNow Store to track Stream Producer metrics such as message counts, data throughput, production rates, and pending messages. It also provides CDC statistics on each Stream Producer's page for performance analysis. * **Kafka Event Processing at Scale:** Brazil release allows publishing and consuming Kafka events at high volume with low latency. Integration with Workflow Studio offers low-code flow creation for Kafka messaging. You can also use scripts or existing Robust Transform Engine (RTE) configurations for data import and processing. * **Direct Kafka Integration:** Enables direct connection between your ServiceNow instance and local Kafka environments for seamless event publishing and consumption. ## Upgrade and Activation Information * Stream Connect requires a **Workflow Data Fabric subscription package** to activate and use features in Brazil. * The Stream Connect Dashboard must be installed separately from the **ServiceNow Store**, where you can also find related apps and version history. ## Changes, Removals, and Deprecations No updates, removals, or deprecations were made to Stream Connect features between Zurich, Australia, and Brazil releases. ## Additional Notes * No new browser, accessibility, or localization requirements were introduced in the Brazil release. * The release emphasizes improved Kafka event publishing and consumption capabilities integrated with ServiceNow workflow tools. ## Practical Impact for ServiceNow Customers Upgrading to Brazil enhances your Stream Connect capabilities by enabling real-time, secure data streaming to Kafka with robust monitoring and low-code integration. It supports modern authentication methods and simplifies event processing at scale, ensuring your ServiceNow instance can efficiently integrate with Kafka ecosystems. Preparing by reviewing pre- and post-upgrade tasks and securing the required Workflow Data Fabric subscription will ensure a smooth transition.

Stream Producer uses change data capture (CDC) technology to capture inserts, updates, and deletes on selected tables. The captured changes are formatted as messages and sent to a Kafka topic, enabling real-time data synchronization with external applications. [Stream Producer schemas](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=schema-management&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Stream Producer supports the Avro serialization format for message payloads. When using an Avro format, Stream Producer uses the selected table's auto-generated schema to convert CDC payloads to Avro before sending them to Kafka. [OAUTHBEARER authentication for Stream Connect message replication](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=hla-data-input-kafka-credentials&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Authenticate using OAUTHBEARER as part of the SASL credential framework for Stream Connect message replication. OAUTHBEARER authentication lets Stream Connect administrators meet customer requirements, improve security, and align with existing OAuth capabilities on the platform, enabling seamless integration with Kafka environments that require advanced authentication. [Stream Connect Dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=stream-connect-dashboard&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Use the Stream Connect Dashboard to view data for Stream Producers, including the number of messages and bytes produced, the rate of production, and the number of messages still pending. Monitor and analyze Stream Producer performance with the Stream Producer CDC Statistics section on each Stream Producer's page. The Stream Connect Dashboard is available from the ServiceNow Store. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing Stream Connect features. {#dfrn3-streamconnect-summary__entry__18} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some Stream Connect features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-streamconnect-summary__entry__26} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some Stream Connect features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-streamconnect-summary__entry__34} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Activation information Review information on how to activate Stream Connect. {#dfrn3-streamconnect-summary__entry__42} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Zurich | No updates for this release. | | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | Activation information : Stream Connect requires a Workflow Data Fabric subscription package.
