IBM Event Streams 2019.4 Georeplication Setup UI Issue

For a complete guide to setup Georeplication go to the official docs here.

Note: This bug has been resolved in the latest release v10 of IBM Event Streams.

If you are in the process of setting up georeplication between 2 clusters and you chose to use the console UI you will get to the step where you need to paste a JSON into the origin cluster.

Such JSON has a structure like this:

{
  "api_address": "https://eventstreams-0-ibm-es-rest-route-eventstreams.cluster-420eb34f056ae68f3969289d61f61851-0000.eu-gb.containers.appdomain.cloud:443",
  "skip_ssl_validation": true,
  "api_key": "A51fk62mruFSvxIzrrJdsnOIu1Oh_hbcQof8utKgIb1C",
  "api_key_name": "weojt"
}

However, you will notice that if the URL is more than 100 characters an error like the following is shown and you can’t proceed.

Don’t worry, this is just a validation in the UI. To get around it just follow the instructions using the CLI and everything will work as expected.
