Understanding the Boomi Integration Process

The main component in Boomi is the process. A process represents a business process- or transaction-level interface between two systems. An example of a process might be loading account dimension data to Planful. Processes in Boomi are depicted with a left-to-right series of shapes connected together like a flow chart to illustrate the steps required to transform, route, or manipulate the data from the source to the destination. Processes use connectors to retrieve and send data.

Processes are deployed to the atom which is a dynamic runtime engine. Once processes have been deployed, the atom contains all the components required to execute the integration processes from start to finish including connectors, transformation rules, decision handling, and processing logic.
