Creating a Cursor

Create a cursor in the Streaming service. A cursor is a pointer to a location in a stream. This location could be a pointer to a specific offset or time in a partition, or to a group's current location. Use a cursor to consume a stream.

For information about using cursors, see Using Consumer Groups and Using Individual Consumers.

This task can't be performed using the Console.

Use the oci streaming stream cursor create-cursor command and required parameters to create a cursor:

oci streaming stream cursor create-cursor --stream-id <stream_OCID> --partition <partition> --type <cursor_type> --endpoint <messages_endpoint>

For example:

oci streaming stream cursor create-cursor --stream-id ocid1.stream.oc1.phx.exampleuniqueID --partition 0 --type TRIM_HORIZON --endpoint https://cell-1.streaming.us-phoenix-1.oci.oraclecloud.com
{
  "data": {
    "value": "examplecursorvalue"
  }
}

For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

Run the CreateCursor operation to create a cursor.
