Creating a Boomi DataHub connection

You can create a connection for a single Boomi DataHub repository using your credentials and Boomi Enterprise Platform permissions. If you have multiple repositories, create a separate connection for each repository.

You can use the same connection to perform different operations in the repository.

Authentication

You can authenticate to the repository using the My Hub Authentication Token, which provides administrator privileges. The Boomi DataHub connector does not support JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication.

Connecting to a repository

1. In the Integration build canvas > Connector menu, select Boomi Data Hub (Tech Preview).

2. Click the plus icon next to Connection.

3. Select the Boomi Hub Cloud Name that hosts the repository you want to connect to. Boomi maintains regional Hub Clouds worldwide. To find the name of your cloud:

   1. Navigate to Integration > Manage > Runtime Management and select the repository name in the list of runtime clouds.
   2. Look at the Host Name for the cloud hosting the repository.

   If you are using a custom cloud:

   1. Navigate to DataHub > Repositories > Repository name > Configure tab.
   2. Copy the Base URL for API Requests.
   3. Paste the URL in the Custom Cloud field in the following format, appending /mdm to the path: https://<base URL>/mdm/

4. Enter your Hub username as it appears on the Repository page. To find your username, navigate to Boomi DataHub > Repositories > select the repository > select the Configure tab.

5. In the Configure tab, copy the My Hub Authentication Token.

6. In the Connection page of the Hub connector, select Click to Set and paste it into the Token field.

7. Click Apply.

8. Click Save and Close.

note

The connector automatically handles the HTTPS certificate. Therefore, you do not need to import a certificate component manually.
