Disk V2 connection

The Disk V2 connection represents a directory on the file system of the machine where the basic runtime is running. The directory can be local or on a network.

Connection tab

Directory

The directory where data is written to or read from.

  • The path can be local (e.g. C:\TEMP or /tmp/), a UNC path (e.g. \\server1\share), or an NFS path (e.g. /home/Boomi).

  • The path can be absolute (full path from the operating system's root directory) or relative to the basic runtime installation directory (..\Boomi Platform\basic runtime — <Runtime_name> by default).

  • For Windows, you can use forward or back slashes interchangeably for directories (for example, either C:\Temp and C:/Temp).

  • When using the Directory or File Name document property to override the connection, you can leave this field blank. When specifying the directory in both a document property and the connection, the document property overrides the connection value. When using a File Name document property, the file name must be included in the directory path to ensure a successful connection.

  • For the Listen operation, the connector targets one directory to retrieve files from the file system. The directory is determined by combining this Directory field and the Listen operation's Sub Directory field. All file names used by the operation are resolved relative to that directory. You can leave this field blank, as long as you have provided a value in the Listen operation's Sub Directory field to specify the full path of the directory to target. Otherwise, an error occurs upon process execution.

Polling Interval

Specify how often (in milliseconds) the connector's Listen operation polls the file system to retrieve batches of events.

Test Connection

You can test your connection settings before you use or save the connection in a process. The Test Connection ensures that your specified settings are correct, valid, and accessible. If the test connection is successful, you can save the connection. Otherwise, review and correct any incorrect settings, then test again.

Attention

You can only run the Test Connection against containers associated with your account (local runtimes, runtime clusters, and runtime clouds).

Test Connection troubleshooting

When testing the Disk V2 connection, an empty connection directory will fail the test connection unless a Directory or File Name document property is used to override the connection.
