Considerations for using advanced connectors
Boomi Connect supports the following advanced connectors: Google Ad Manager SOAP, NetSuite REST, NetSuite SOAP, OpenAPI, Salesforce REST, and ServiceNow REST.
Advanced connectors might have connector-specific requirements and consideration in addition to the common advanced connector behavior.
Advanced connector configuration considerations
- During initial configuration, you can add as many tools as needed.
- After you enable at least one tool and save the configuration, the configuration becomes read-only.
- To add, remove, or change tools or other configuration information after the configuration becomes read-only, create a new configuration.
OpenAPI connector considerations
OpenAPI is one of the advanced connectors available in Boomi Connect. The following considerations apply when administrators configure the OpenAPI connector in Boomi Connect. Refer to OpenAPI connector for information about this connector.
-
Specification file size: YAML specifications over 3 MB fail to load. Convert the specification to JSON format to avoid this limit.
-
Manual connection setup required: Enter the connection details manually, including the server URL, auth URL, token URL, and scopes. These values are not automatically populated from the OpenAPI specification.
-
Supported authentication types: Use one of the following:
- Basic Auth: Provide a username and password.
- API Key: Provide an API key.
- OAuth 2.0: Use either the client credentials or authorization code grant type.
