boomi-connector

A Pravega connector for the Boomi Atomsphere

Building

Note: once the connector is published, it will be available to everyone in the Boomi Platform, and you can use it without building or creating a custom connector.

Pre-requisites

• Java JDK

Build artifacts

./gradlew distZip

This will build a connector package which you can upload to your Boomi account (see the Create a Custom Connector section below).

Create a Custom Connector

Note: once the connector is published, it will be available to everyone in the Boomi Platform, and and you can use it without building or creating a custom connector.

If you have just built the Pravega connector above, you must install it in your Boomi account as a custom connector type. More details about this process can be found here. The basic steps are:

1. Add a connector group
   • Go to your Boomi account setup and under Development Resources on the left, click on Developer
   • Click on Add Connector Group and name it "Pravega"
2. Create a connector version
   • Still in the Developer page with the "Pravega" connector group selected, click on Add Version
   • Select the connector descriptor file - this is the src/main/resources/connector-descriptor.xml file in this repository
   • Select the connector archive file - after building, this is the zip file in build/distributions
   • Click OK
3. Create a connector
   • Still in the Developer page with the "Pravega" connector group selected, click on Add Connector
   • Call the connector "Custom Pravega" - you can optionally append " - prod" or " - test" or any other descriptive suffix
   • Give the connector a classification (i.e. "prod", "test", etc.)
   • Click OK

Now you should have a Pravega connector for your account that you can insert into any process.
