Installing the Boomi Integration Service connector

To use the Boomi Integration Service connector you will first need to install the connector into your Flow tenant.

Before you begin

• Ensure that you have set up, configured and deployed your Integration Flow Service component. Refer to Flow Service components.

Installing the Boomi Integration Service connector

1. Select Connectors from the main left-hand menu.

2. Click New Connector.

3. Select "Boomi Integration Service" from the Connector Type menu.

4. Enter a name for the connector in the Name field.

5. Select the Boomi runtime that the connector should connect to from the Runtime Type drop-down menu.

   • Select from the pre-populated Boomi public runtime clouds. The Base Uri field is automatically populated with the endpoint URI.

   • Select 'Other' if you wish to manually enter a URL for the connector, for example if you are using a local runtime. Enter the URL endpoint in the URL for the Connector field; this is usually the shared web server URL followed by the Path to Service in Integration.

6. If you have selected from the pre-populated Boomi public runtime clouds, enter the Path to Service. For example, '/fs/FlowService'.

7. Select the Authentication Type to be used by the connector:

   • Basic: Use basic Integration username and token authentication

     • Enter Username: Enter the username to use for connecting to the runtime. This Username can be found in the User Management tab in the Shared Web Server settings for your environment. Click the Variable Picker icon to select a value containing the username.

     • Enter Token: Enter the token to use for connecting to the runtime. This Token can be found in the User Management tab in the Shared Web Server settings for your environment. Click the Variable Picker icon to select a value containing the username.

   • Client Certificate: Use X.509 client certificate authentication.

     • Enter Client Certificate Data: Click Select or create a Value to either select an existing value or create a new value to store the certificate data (this value must be of the ‘String‘ content kind). Copy and paste the certificate into the Default Value field and save the value.

     • Enter Client Certificate Password: Click Select or create a Value to either select an existing value or create a new value to store the certificate password (this value must be of the ‘Password‘ content kind). Copy and paste the certificate password into the Default Value field and save the value.

8. Click Retrieve Connector Configuration Data. The Configuration section displays all the configuration values that are set up in the Integration Flow Service component and created with the connector.

   • Select from existing values, or create new values to store these configuration values as required.
   • Use the Variable Picker icon next to configuration fields to dynamically reference a Value from your Flow, allowing settings to update based on runtime data.
   note
