3 - Build

The Build Tab is where you create and edit the integration Processes and Components. Process workflows are configured using the Process Builder.

The Component Explorer

Along the left side of the screen is the Component Explorer. The Component Explorer lists all the Process 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. To view any changes, the Component Explorer must be refreshed.

Directly above the component tree, there is a Refresh icon . Click the Refresh icon to view any changes that have been made to the Process Components (create, edit, and delete).

Folder Hierarchy

A Boomi On Demand folder contains the components associated with a user account or integration project. The folder hierarchy depicts the structure of the existing components. A typical folder hierarchy is structured based on trading partner or application. The structure can be broken down based on the users preferences. Users can create new folders within the parent folder to better organize component groups.

Quick Links

In the getting started section of the Build tab, there are three links that provide a quick way to Open an Existing Process, Create a New Process, and Deploy an Atom.

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. An inbound Connector is embedded in the Start Shape to extract the data for further processing.

Stopping - Any execution path built in a Process ends where a Stop Shape is defined.
