Dell Boomi Integration Process

It is categorized into 3 phases :

1. Build Phase

2. Deploy Phase

3. Manage Phase

1. Build Phase

• Specifies the integration logic to communicate between source and destination applications

• Integration process is specified by Boomi‟s Visual components

2. Deploy Phase

• Deploys the integration process, defined in the Build Phase, to run time engine called „Atom’

• Atom allows you to run the integration process on on-premise or atom cloud

3. Manage Phase

• Monitors the health and status of the deployed atom

• Monitors the integration process, logs

How to implement integration process in build phase ?

• In Build phase, we can integrate data between source and destination using process

• A “Process” is the central component of integration

• Every Process begins with one input connector and ends with one or more output connectors

• A process component contains:

o Execution Shape - It manipulates the data through the process

o Logic shape - It controls the flow of data through the process

Input connector

• Specifies the incoming data to be used for integration process from the source

• The source may be database, web application, on premise application, disk, FTP, etc.

• Action method „GET‟ is used

Output connector

• It sends data from the integration process to destination

• The destination may be database, web application, on premise application, disk, FTP, etc.

• Action method „SEND‟ is used

Mapping Function

• Implement the mapping between incoming and outgoing data

• Mapping means how to process the data from input and integrate the data to the destination

as output

• Define Input Connector - Salesforce

© RapidValue Solutions 10

In Input Connector, we need to specify the following:

• Connector (Salesforce) • Action (GET for input connector, SEND for output connector) • Connection - need to specify the Salesforce account details

© RapidValue Solutions 11

In Salesforce account, password = password + security token

• Operation : o Specifies what to do o Signifies which data needs to be used for integration

© RapidValue Solutions 12

• Define Output connector -MySQL database

© RapidValue Solutions 13

• For Output Connector, the following needs to be specified:

○ Connector (database) ○ Action - SEND ○ Connection- you need to specify MySQL Database host, port, credentials and database

© RapidValue Solutions 14

• Operation:

o Specifies what to do

o Signifies in which table you need to insert the account information

© RapidValue Solutions 15

• For output operation, a profile is created, a New Database Profile

• Implemented the basic insert function for the employee table

Mapping

• Define Mapping between Salesforce Account and MySQL Database

• You need to specify which fields need to be integrated with MySQL database

© RapidValue Solutions 17

• Input fields are on the left side and output fields on the right

• Each field is mapped, from input, to the corresponding output field

© RapidValue Solutions 18

Define Decision Logic

• You can check whether the account already exists in the database, using decision logic

• If the account does not exist, insert it into MySQL DB, else Stop

© RapidValue Solutions 19

Build Phase Overview

1. Define Input connector

2. Define Output connector

3. Define Mapping Logic between input and output

4. Define decision logic. Has the account, already, been inserted?

5. Stop

Test Mode in Build Phase

• You can test the input and output by using „Run a Test’ option on Test Atom cloud

• If you run it, it will go through every single node

• If it‟s a success, individual node is shown as green color

• If it fails, it will be shown as red color

© RapidValue Solutions 21

Test Mode in Build Phase

• During test mode, you can view the input data obtained from Salesforce

© RapidValue Solutions 22

• View the output response in the MySQL database
