2273488 - How to add the 'SFAPI Parameters' in a Boomi Operation

Symptom

This KBA explains that where do we need to add the SFAPI Parameters in Boomi and also, how to add them

What are SFAPI Parameters and why do we need them in our SFSF Operation:

  • SFAPI Parameters are designed to provide some additional capability to the API to perform tasks that are not otherwise performed.
  • These parameters are optional and can be used based on the specific requirements.
  • The SFAPI Parameters are available for operations- Create, Delete, Query, Update and Upsert.
  • These parameters are not common across APIs and are specific to certain API Entities only.
  • Example:, For  'Create' action of "USER" entity, SFAPI parameters[managerTransfer:true, routeInboxDoc:false] to set the managerTransfer parameter to "true" and routeInboxDoc parameter to "false" in case of manager change of an employee.

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>
