# Dell Boomi Connector

Dell Boomi is an ETL Tool that supports crawling database objects and Lineage Building. Dell Boomi offers a cloud-based integration platform called Atoms that transfers data between on-premises applications and the cloud. Integration with the cloud is enabled through APIs, lifecycle management, and event-driven architecture for the Dell Boomi connector.

## **Connection Settings**

Only the Lineage setting option is available for the Dell Boomi Connector, and the setting option will be enabled when the **Auto Lineage** License type is selected.

The purpose of the lineage setting is to serve the option of changing the server/source connection to build the lineage. You can configure multiple servers simultaneously in the  **Selecting Source Server Type for lineage** and also set the connection priority lists to pick the tables in the **Connections Priority to pick the source table** for lineage building.

## **FAQs**

Components support by OvalEdge&#x20;

1. What are the types of Jobs OvalEdge supports for DellBoomi?

* **Process**: Processes are the central components in Boomi Integration. They contain a series of shapes that determine how data is executed within the system. A process typically represents a discrete workflow that moves a given type of record from one application to another.
* **Connector Action**: Connector actions are used to get data into and send data out of a process. Most processes have one "get" connector and one or more "send" connectors. The Connector action uses a combination of predefined connection and operation components to establish where and how to get or send data.
* **Maps**: Data is transformed from one format (profile) to another using Maps.
* **Business rules**: Use the Business Rules to work with the profile structure of a document in order to check multiple business rules to determine if a document should be accepted or rejected.
* **Notify**: For the purpose of monitoring and troubleshooting, the Notify function can be utilized to write user-defined notifications to the process log.
* **Exception**: To terminate the execution of one or all documents and mark them as failed in Process Reporting, the Exception can be used with a custom error message. This message may include a mix of static content and dynamic variables.
* **Program cmd:** The Program Command enables database and system-level commands to be executed as part of the process flow.
* **Message:** To transform incoming document data into a free-form message using a combination of static and dynamic variables, use the Message.
* **Data process:** Within a process, the Data Process offers a variety of choices for modifying document data, such as splitting and merging documents, as well as compressing and decompressing data through zipping.
* **Stop:** Use the "**Stop**" command to terminate a process or halt the processing of a document.
* **Flow Control**: The Flow Control contains a set of options that allows user to configure how documents are processed within a process execution.
* **Return Documents:** Returns the documents to the calling source point.<br>
* **Decision:** To transform incoming document data into a free-form message using a combination of static and dynamic variables.
* **Business Rules**: The given document is evaluated against several "business rules" to determine whether it should be accepted or rejected.
* **Try**/**Catch:** It captures errors at the document level for instances where one or many documents fail during execution.
* **Route:** Documents are directed down different paths based on a specific value through conditional routing. This value can be static or retrieved dynamically from document properties or the document's actual data.
