2273488 - How to configure SFAPI Parameters in a Boomi operation?

Symptom

• This KBA explains where to add SFAPI Parameters in Boomi operations and how to configure them.
• SFAPI Parameters provide additional capabilities to APIs for tasks not otherwise performed.
• These parameters are optional and can be used based on specific requirements.
• SFAPI Parameters are available for operations such as Create, Delete, Query, Update, and Upsert.
• These parameters are specific to certain API entities and not common across all APIs.
• Example: For the 'Create' action of the "USER" entity, SFAPI parameters [managerTransfer:true, routeInboxDoc:false] can be used to set the managerTransfer parameter to "true" and routeInboxDoc parameter to "false" in case of a manager change for an employee.

Cause

NA

Resolution

  1. Login to Boomi and switch to 'Build' tab.
  2. Now, navigate to the correct SFSF Operation where you need to add an SFAPI Parameter.
  3. SFAPI Parameters are specified using a comma delimited list of name/value pairs that specify the extra functionality available to the specific BizX object types/Entities.
  4. These name/value combinations are written in the format: <name>=<value> and in case of multiple values-

<name1>=<value1>,<name2>=<value2>

   5. And in case of multiple values for the same parameter, the format would be:

<name1>=<value1>+<value2>
