2.2.1 - Build Tab

Boomi AtomSphere applies the 'Build' concept as a means to organize and control data processing. Integration requires data structuring to enable communication between disparate applications. An integration service should allow structured data types to be extracted, manipulated, validated, and forwarded. In order to integrate applications directly from the Web without coding, Boomi AtomSphere uses a built-in visual interface to create and direct process flows.

The Build Tab is where you are able to add or edit components and access the Process Builder. In the Process Builder you can build your integration Processes and Components.

The Component Explorer

Along the left side of the screen is the Component Explorer. The Component Explorer lists all the components that currently exist in the account. Components are grouped by type and you can create Folders to organize them however you'd like. From the Explorer, you can create, edit, and delete Components and Folders.

Getting Started Quick Links

The links in the middle of the screen provide a quick way to Open an Existing Process, Create a New Process, and Deploy an Atom.

Process Builder

By clicking to create or edit a process, the Process Builder will display. The Process Builder is the online tool that supplies the visual interface to build or edit your processes. It facilitates the construction of multiple integrations by providing a configurable set of components (aka shapes) that can be linked together to form a complete data process.

The Process Builder gives you a full screen view of the Process. From here you can add existing Components or create new ones to add to your Process.

Process Shapes

• Execution Shapes - These shapes transport and manipulate the data being passed through the Process.
• Logic Shapes - These shapes control the processing path of the data being passed through the Process.

Where does a data process begin and end?

Starting - All processing begins in the 'Start' shape that is supplied in each new process model. An inbound connector is embedded in the start shape to extract the data for further processing.

Stopping - Any execution path built in a process model ends where a 'Stop' shape is defined.
