• Navigate the Boomi platform and set up a local development environment
• Create integration processes using connectors, shapes, and subprocesses
• Map and transform data between JSON, XML, and flat file formats
• Control document flow using decision shapes, branching, and Try/Catch logic
• Configure business rules to drive process decisions without custom code
• Design error handling strategies with exception shapes, alerts, and logging
• Build and publish simple REST API endpoints using API listeners

Requirements

• Basic understanding of application or system integration concepts
• Familiarity with working in a cloud or web-based environment

Audience

• Integration Developers and Engineers
