Creating a New Job

Migration jobs are created from the Dashboard. The suite provides two entry points: a quick-action dropdown for common cluster operations and a full wizard for building a job from scratch.

Quick-Action Dropdown

Click the + New Migration Job button on the Dashboard to reveal a dropdown with the following options:

Option	Description
Add New Kafka Cluster	Opens the Kafka Cluster registration form directly.
Add New Connect Cluster	Opens the Connect Cluster registration form directly.
Add Schema Registry	Opens the Schema Registry registration form directly.

These shortcuts allow you to register infrastructure without leaving the Dashboard. Once the required clusters are in place, return to the dropdown and select New Migration Job to proceed.

Start From Scratch Wizard

Selecting New Migration Job from the dropdown opens the Get Started wizard. A left panel displays the workflow progress, showing each step in the job creation pipeline and highlighting the current step.

Migration Identity

1. Enter a Migration Name in the text field. This field is required, accepts up to 50 characters, and allows spaces.

2. Optionally enter a Description to provide context about the migration’s purpose or scope.

3. Click Continue to proceed to the Cluster Setup step.

Field	Required	Constraints
Migration Name	Yes	Maximum 50 characters, spaces allowed
Description	No	Free-text field for additional context

Tip

Choose a descriptive migration name that identifies the environment, team, or purpose of the job. This name appears on the Dashboard and in all monitoring views.
