If you need to interact directly with the Java keystore (cacerts) that Boomi uses, then the default password for this is “changeit”

It does not seem to be documented anywhere – but it is included in a few of the example keytool commands that can be found in Boomi Community – for instance the one below.

Everything that you develop in Boomi (processes, maps, connectors, profiles, etc.) is a component and a component in Boomi is always represented (behind the pretty GUI) as a XML document.

This means, that if you have made any change in a Boomi component, and wants to verify which change that you made, you can determine this by comparing two revisions of the ComponentXML for the changed component. This will be a text-comparison and not a GUI-one, but with a little practice, it is easy enough to interpret.

Recently, I had to extract all the documents of a Boomi process run to investigate a support case. It was 2000+ documents, and I was in no mood to do it manually.

Boomi has detailed how to do it here, and luckily, a lot of the code and techniques from the “Code Search” project, could be reused. But it is by no means simple to do – 5 different API calls are needed, and for each document to be fetched, two of these needs to be called repeatedly handling HTTP 202’s in the process. This is also quite slow. It took several tries, and my 2000 documents took around 2+ hours to download.

The Boomi Atomsphere API

If you like me would like to search though all your Boomi components for a certain text, the choice is very straightforward, because there is only one.

You have to code it yourself.

For this and many other uses, Boomi has their Atomsphere API, which does indeed expose quite a lot of functionality, but not quite as much as you might want.

Possible uses of the api:

• Search code for text
• Test code for known coding issues with external tools
• Start execution of processes
• Query a specific process execution for its results
• …….
