Data Hub connection

Updated September 22, 2026
note

The Data Hub source connector is available as a limited availability (Beta) release.

The Boomi Data Hub source connector connects Data Integration pipelines directly to a Data Hub repository. You can use this connector to extract golden records from one or more Universe models and deliver them to a downstream target without building custom REST logic.

Each connection is scoped to a single repository. You only view Universe models that belong to the connected repository.

The connector supports two delivery modes:

ModeHow it worksLatency
Standard extractionData Integration pulls golden records from the Data Hub Repository API on each run.Minutes to hours
Change data capture (CDC)Data Hub streams golden record changes (creates, updates, deletes) to Boomi Event Streams in real time, and Data Integration consumes them as they occur.Sub-second

This page covers connecting in both modes. To build and activate a data flow with an existing connection, refer to Data Hub walkthrough.

Prerequisites

Before you set up a Data Hub connector connection, make sure you have the following:

  • Access to a Boomi Data Hub repository
  • A Data Integration account with connector configuration permissions

To use CDC, you also need:

  • Boomi Event Streams and Data Hub Real-Time Outbound Messaging provisioned on your Boomi account
  • An administrative user role that includes the MDM - View Repositories and MDM - Repository Management privileges
  • The target Universe model published and deployed in the repository. Data Integration does not deploy models on your behalf. If a selected model is not deployed, activation fails with an error telling you to deploy it first.

Setting up a standard connection

Follow this procedure to extract golden records on a schedule using standard extraction. To stream changes in real time instead, refer to Setting up a CDC connection.

Step 1: Locating your connection parameters in Data Hub

  1. Log in to Boomi Data Hub.
  2. Open the repository you want to connect to.
  3. Click the Configure tab. For more information, refer to Viewing repository information.
  4. Note the Base URL, Username, and My Hub Authentication Token values.

Step 2: Configuring the connection in Data Integration

  1. Navigate to the Data Integration Console.
  2. Click Connections from the left-hand menu.
  3. Click + New Connection.
  4. Find and select the Data Hub source.
  5. Enter the Connection Name.
  6. Enter the values you noted in Step 1.
FieldDescriptionRequired
Base URL for API RequestsThe Hub Cloud endpoint for your repository.Yes
UsernameYour Boomi Account ID. Refer to Viewing repository information.Yes
My Hub Authentication TokenThe secret token for your repository. Refer to Repositories overview.Yes
warning

Regenerating the token immediately invalidates all existing integrations that use the previous token. Before regenerating, notify all teams that rely on connections to this repository.

  1. Click Test Connection.
  2. Click Save.

Troubleshooting standard connection errors

ErrorLikely causeResolution
401 UnauthorizedInvalid or expired My Hub Authentication TokenVerify the token on the repository Configure tab. If the token has been regenerated, update all connections that use the old token.
403 ForbiddenThe Boomi Account ID does not have access to this repositoryConfirm the Username is the correct Boomi Account ID for this repository. Contact your Data Hub administrator to verify permissions.
404 Not FoundIncorrect Base URL or region selectionVerify that you selected the Hub Cloud region that hosts the target repository.
