Integrate via Boomi Connector

Hi @Thejaswini . I’m not sure if you’ve got this sorted already, but you can absolutely do this with Boomi and Custom Events in Apps 10. Boomi has the ability to be a REST listener, so you create a custom event in Apps 10 to call the boomi listener with the key information (e.g. order number etc.), and use this to trigger a boomi process. Let me know if you need more info. Peter SketchBoomi

Create CustomerDocumentTaxInfoArray / API Integration Aurena

Hi @KleinApps (and @Rifki Razick )As Rifki says, it seems like you’re using the correct api call, but working with these arrays past the first level is tricky - as there’s limited docs and navigating thru the metadata is tricky. One starting point though is that you’re generally not permitted to update reference tables directly and you have to go through these more complex structures.The good news is that we have created a special parameter in the Boomi IFS connector to allow you to manage API calls of any depth, but it’s a little complicated. Best go get a coffee at this point as this gets a little long.Firstly, as you know, in the connector, we added the ability to automatically create an object and associated profile for two level arrays. In this case, you can import an object called CustomerInfoSet->CustomerInfoAddresseswhich is what you’d use if you wanted to update CustomerInfoAddresses. However, here we want to update a child of CustomerInfoAddresses - i.e. CustomerDoc

Setting the correct user in docman when uploading a file via integration

I’ve certainly not come across it I’m afraid. Maybe push the “real” user’s info into another field and then trigger a script to do the update with that info. Or, if you wanted it to all live in Boomi land, you could create a custom Action to do the work? I’ll try and take a look later.

User Account setup needed for Boomi IFS Connector

Hi JeannineI guess the question is - what id’s can be used to call the projections. These are the same projections as Aurena uses, so not integration specific really. But, I know you can grant rights to projections for service accounts - i.e. in the way we need to do IFS Cloud OAuth2, so perhaps one of the IFS guys can give us some more input here.Peter

Consume external web api from IFS

Hi @m.arifAs @Heidi says, you could certainly build this “live” integration between your external application and Boomi. As you may know we have specific connectors for IFS Apps 10 (and IFS Cloud), but also have general connectors for Web Services applications, as well as the ability to create “listeners” so that integrations can be triggered from applications - i.e. from your external app or from IFS - based on an event - e.g. a new or updated record.If you’d like any further info, please drop me a note at peter.sketch@booomi.comPeter

IFS integration

Hi @Prince Emmanuel With Apps 10 and IFS Cloud, the Boomi connector uses the standard IFS REST APIs to connector to the IFS environment. So, you’re not doing anything custom in IFS - just using their standard API. As such, it shouldn’t affect anything else you’re trying to do in parallel.I’m curious though why you’d also want to extract flat files from IFS if you’re planning to use an iPaaS solution like Boomi?Happy to help if you need more info.Peter

Setting the correct user in docman when uploading a file via integration

HI Janice @jhooperyan As you’re seeing if the connector is doing the upload, then you’ll be seeing it as the credentials of the connector user. I guess we need the ability to directly modify the user post upload, but I don’t know if that’s possible. If you haven’t made any progress, drop me a note and I’ll look into it.Peter

User Account setup needed for Boomi IFS Connector

Hi Janine @jhooperyan From a connector perspective, we don’t really know anything about the permissions or type a user has. We just pass the creds used in the auth header and then it’s on the IFS side that permissions to the projections etc. are granted. I think it’s likely telling you that it can’t retrieve data from the projection - hence the “Input was lost during operation execution”.First step would be - can you access that same projection using Postman and the same credentials, and then we can work onwards from there.PeterPS: @Sajith D , with Apps 10, it’ll be basic auth. We don’t support oauth2 with Apps 10 - only with IFS Cloud.

Licensing for Dell Boomi Integration in Apps 10

Hi Roz @RSidique Boomi has 2 licensing models - the first is based on the unique number of endpoints and the second, which is aimed at more occasional use, is based on the number of documents passed.

Error when importing Document via REST API with Chinese characters in document title

Hi @Thilini Kumarasinghe , @Mathias Dahl and @Matt Woonton I’ve come across this base64 thing previously as well. I believe it’s linked to the historic use of base64 to encode mime content -it’s basically wrapping the text and adding cr characters in there, which breaks the url of course.@Thilini Kumarasinghe , if you’re actually trying to do this from Boomi, I’ve built a process to do all of this for you - including doing things like check the extension is registered before uploading etc.. Let me know if you’d like it - happy to share it. In the operation “Encode Filename to Base64 and strip CR”, I do a Base64 encode and then do a search/replace on \R PeterISV Lead @ Boomi

IFS Apps 10 - SupplierHandling Projection API

Hi @bapehu . As @Albibr says, you can access CommunicationsMethods using the 2 part URL mentioned - SupplierInfoGeneralSet and CommunicationsMethods. In the recent update we made to the IFS REST connector, we added the ability in the connector to dynamically create and handle these two part URLs as a single entity. Hence, when you go to import an object, and specify SupplierInfoGeneralSet* as the filter, you’ll see Object ListSelecting SupplierInfoGeneralSet->CommunicationsMethods will create the necessary URL in the background. The UI will dynamically add a field into the operation to allow you to add a supplierid Peter You can find more information on working with these hierarchical objects in Boomi at Working with Related Entities in IFS Application 10 and IFS Cloud with Boomi Operations

Boomi REST connection

Hi @BjornCorrigan123 . As @Asela Munasinghe says, it’s Update 8 or later, as this is where things like the API Explorer were introduced. I’ve recently uploaded some basic examples to the “Process Library” within Boomi - bottom right corner when in the platform - Browse Process Library - and search for IFS. You’ll see some examples available for download. You can also reach them directly at https://platform.boomi.com/AtomSphere.html#build;processLibrary=b051b488-0127-4b61-af45-e36e79737a9f Any questions, please let me know.PeterBoomi

IFS10 Projections connection issues

Hi @bapehu . We’ve occasionally seen these errors with the new version of the connector and they’re generally resolved by opening and resaving the connection (i.e. [IFS 10] Test Connection in your example above). You don’t need to update operations, but some metadata for connections created with the older version of the connector for Apps 10 seems to get cached somewhere. To be certain, try creating a new connection document. If you have any ongoing problems, feel free to reach out directly - peter.sketch@dell.com or DM me.PeterBoomi

Dell Boomi for Web integration with Apps 9

Hi @crpgaryw and @GBDHEATHKP . As mentioned here, we have 2 connectors for IFS Apps. Publicly available in the Boomi platform today, we have a connector for IFS Apps 10 Update 8 or later using the REST APIs. We’re currently updating this connector to support IFS Cloud as well.In addition, we have privately available connector for IFS Connect. This can connect to both BIZAPI and non-BIZAPI in IFS Connect and supports any IFS versions using IFS Connect, including Apps 9. However, this of course requires the necessary BIZAPIs are available for Boomi to connect to - either as standard or custom APIs.If anyone has any questions on the IFS Connect connector, please DM me, or drop me a mail at peter.sketch@dell.com

Boomi Integration

Hi WilliamThanks for reaching out. In answer to your questions …PLC Systems. I don’t believe we have connectivity through a named connector to any PLC systems. However, we also support connectivity to systems through our technology connectors. These enable you to integrate the Boomi platform (and hence IFS) with anything we can reach through any API, database, protocol or even flat file. You can see a list of technology connectors at Technology connectors (boomi.com). We’re also continuing to grow the direct integration options for event driven architectures. So, if you had IoT devices in your production line and wanted to be able to bring these events into you integration platform, you can also achieve that using both branded connectors for things such as EventBridge, Azure Service Bus or Solace, or through standards approaches such as Kafka and MQTT. ADP are a Boomi partner, who use our platform to provide integration services to their customers as a service. You could speak

HiAs I mentioned above, the Apps 10 connector uses REST, and so only works with IFS Apps 10 Upd 8 and above, including IFS Cloud. For prior releases, we also have an IFS Connect connector, which is available now in private preview, and we also support a number of technology connectors, which can be used to interface with IFS Apps version in other ways as well. Please let me know if you need any more information Peter

Boomi Integration

HiBoomi has 2 types of “connector” - i.e. the bridge between our platform and applications. These are application specific, or Branded, connectors which connect with a specific application. Then there are connectors which use a generic api of some kind - we call these technology connectors. There are about 150 branded connectors and 15 or so technology connectors which have been used to connect with about 1,500 different applications.With IFS Apps, we have 2 connectors about to go public. One uses IFS’s new REST API, so is designed for Apps 10 (Update 8) and above, including of course IFS Cloud. The second is specifically designed for connect with IFS Connect, both Bizapi and non-Bizapi services. In addition of course, you can use the technology connectors to use the various more standard apis for connecting to IFS.Happy to discuss this in more detail - drop me a mail at peter.sketch@dell.com if you’d like to speak further.Peter

What products for integration you using with IFS/other systems?

As @anmise commented above, IFS and Dell Boomi announced our partnership earlier in the year with an intent of delivering solutions which help IFS customers leverage the benefits of Boomi’s low code iPaaS platform. I work at Dell Boomi and am responsible for the relationship between Boomi and IFS. As well as the core benefits of our low code, cloud native solution this partnership will deliver IFS specific integration capabilities. IFS are using the our connector SDK to build initially 2 Connectors - one for IFS Apps 10, and one for IFS Connect. As it’s IFS building the connectors themselves, you can be reassured that they’re designed to work with IFS’s API in the most effective way, leveraging the inner workings of the APIs. We expect these Connectors to be generally available very shortly. At this point, they’ll appear in our platform as a publicly available connector - any licensed Boomi user will automatically have access to them.I’d be more than happy to answer any specific q
