Boomi Integrations: Smart Start for Boomi Extensions for Integrations Connections

Boomi Integrations: Extensions for Connections
by David Byrd

As a data integrator, you spent time putting your Boomi data integration together, and now it is time to move it from your Development environment, to a Test Environment, and then eventually move it into production.  This is how you connect to a On-Premise database, or the Cloud app like Oracle Sales Cloud/Oracle CX .
Step 1 : So the first thing to do is set up the Extensions for the connections.  In the Build tab, Open the process then click on the extension pop-up in the process.

 

You should now see a pop-up for the Extensions, like below:

Notice we are defaulted to the “Connection Settings” tab.  This article is focused on just the “Connections Settings”. 

Now if you click the pull-down for Connections, you all the connections available for this process.  Select one and it shows you all the settings you can modify at a later time.  If you want to be able to change the setting, make sure to check the checkbox in front of each setting that will be modifiable.

Now the Process is ready to deploy.  That will be covered in another article.

Step 2 : Set the extensions for the connections for the Environment, so click on the Manage tab.

Next choose your environment to set.

Then Click on Environment Extensions as shown below:

This opens a pop-up

Click on the Pull-down and choose the one of the Connections you want to setup the extensions.

You can then set each of the settings that you choose above, or check the “Use Default” to use the original setting setup in development.

As you can see the steps are easy and straight forward bringing the data integrator and nice customer experience.

And that does it.  Watch for new articles for the other types of Extensions used in a Boomi Process, and How to Deploy a process..
