Continuing on my previous post Boomi Best Practice. In following post we will talk about SAP Connector of Boomi.

SAP Connector

To implement a connection to your SAP account from Dell Boomi AtomSphere, you need to copy SAP JCo drivers to the folder where atom is installed. Follow this link for the list of drivers to be copied:

• .       Use Naming Convention

 Always use standard naming convention for integration processes. Naming convention can be like” INT-001 Account Updates from SAP”. While creating  process for Sandbox append “SANDBOX” keyword as prefix with name of process and for production process use “PROD” as prefix.

•     Main Listner for IDOC Integration     

      Create a common Listner in order to listen all IDOC integrations. Create a single “Listen” action.

1     Use “Route” component and attach all sub processes which are using IDOC to listen data from SAP.

      Note:
     Whenever changes are need to be deployed on atom, always deploy actual process and IDOC main Listner.

•     Data Filter on the basis of Identifier

      To filter IDOC segment on the basis of identifiers use “identifier instance”.

         1. First you have to add a qualifier in the IDOC XML profile

2. After adding qualifier, add identifier instance. Click on blue triangle sign you will have option to add identifier.

3. After clicking identifier instance you have to choose your previously added qualifier. You can also identify on the basis of occurrence.

Note: You cannot put identifier on both parent and child node.
