Document flow in Boomi

Document Flow in Boomi

Each document may contain one or multiple records. Groups of documents move in a batch in Boomi. Boomi automatically loops through records and documents. Each path processes to completion before the next path begins.

Different Shapes in Boomi

Branch

• Processes entire deck of documents in each branch shape
• It executes each path sequentially.
• The documents flow down the subsequent paths only if the documents flowing down the preceding path succeed in completing the path
• A branch can have up to 25 paths

Decision

Sort the documents into 2 piles. The one which matches true is executed first and the other which matches false is executed last.

Try-Catch

This is used for error handling. All documents flow through the Try path. Failed document flow to the catch path

Flow Control Batching

Documents are batched into the specified size + remainder. For example you are batching by 5 documents and you receive 21 documents in that shape. It will be processed in batches in the manner described below sequentially.

1st Batch = 5

2nd Batch = 5

3rd batch = 5

4th batch = 5

Last batch = 1 

It will be processed sequentially.

Flow Control Parallel Processing

In this case, the documents are batched into a specified number of threads or processes, and each batch is processed simultaneously.
