# Example configurations

The following examples show standalone and distributed mode configurations
for the IBM MQ Source connector. Both examples require running Apache Kafka® and
Connect—for a walk-through, see the [Tutorial: Moving Data In
and Out of Kafka](/platform/current/connect/quickstart.html).

#### NOTE
As of Confluent Platform 7.5, ZooKeeper is deprecated for new deployments. KRaft mode
is recommended for new deployments. For more information, see
the [KRaft](https://docs.confluent.io/platform/current/kafka-metadata/kraft.html)
documentation page.

## Standalone mode example

Use this configuration with [standalone workers](/platform/current/connect/concepts.html#standalone-workers).

```bash
name=connector1
tasks.max=1
connector.class=io.confluent.connect.ibm.mq.IbmMQSourceConnector
# The following values must be configured and should match your environment.
kafka.topic=MyKafkaTopicName
mq.hostname=localhost
mq.transport.type=client
mq.queue.manager=QMA
mq.channel=SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN
jms.destination.name=testing
# The following define the information used to validate the license stored in Kafka
# or leave blank for a 30 day trial
confluent.license=
confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092
```

Change the `confluent.topic.*` properties as required to suit your environment.
If running on a single-node Kafka cluster you will need to include `confluent.topic.replication.factor=1`.
Leave the `confluent.license` property blank for a 30 day trial.
See the [configuration options](source_connector_config.md#ibmmq-source-connector-license-config) for more details.

## Distributed mode example

Use this configuration with [distributed mode](/platform/current/connect/concepts.html#distributed-workers).
Complete the following steps to configure and start the connector:

1. Write the following JSON to `connector.json`, changing the
   `confluent.topic.*` properties as required to suit your environment.
   Leave the `confluent.license` property blank for a 30 day trial. If
   running on a single-node Kafka cluster, also include
   `"confluent.topic.replication.factor":"1"`. See the [configuration
   options](source_connector_config.md#ibmmq-source-connector-license-config) for more details.
   ```bash
   {
     "name": "connector1",
     "config": {
       "connector.class": "io.confluent.connect.ibm.mq.IbmMQSourceConnector",
       "kafka.topic":"MyKafkaTopicName",
       "mq.hostname":"localhost",
       "mq.transport.type":"client",
       "mq.queue.manager":"QMA",
       "mq.channel":"SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN",
       "jms.destination.name":"testing",
       "confluent.license":"",
       "confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers":"localhost:9092"
     }
   }
   ```
2. Post the configuration to one of the Kafka Connect workers using curl,
   replacing `http://localhost:8083/` with the endpoint of your
   Kafka Connect worker.
   ```bash
   curl -s -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data @connector.json http://localhost:8083/connectors
   ```
