Build from Scratch Certification Exam Instructions
To complete your procedure and address the certification exam questions on the
Boomi LMS, follow these steps:
1. Within Test Mode, retrieve the 9 XML files that depict contact records from
the Boomi Certify FTP connection.
Implement logic to route the contact records according to their STATUS field.
Merge all records marked with an INSTALLED status into a single CSV flat file:
● Omit column headers
● Separate by commas
● Enclose with double quotes as a text qualifier
If needed, apply filter options or wildcards to refine your search results.
2. Merge all documents with an Installed status into a single CSV flat file.
● Transmit the CSV flat file as an email to an accessible email address. To
simplify setup, utilize the Boomi Certify-Mail connection (refer to details
provided).
● The email message subject should contain the date and time of sending.
● Attach the CSV flat file to the email before sending it.
● The Mail Operation From address must be one of the
following: [email protected] or [email protected].
3. Write records labeled as New into the NEW_CONTACTS database table (refer
to Table Layout later in this document) via the FTP to DB connection.
Make sure to validate these records before storing them in the table.
• Verify if the ID exists in the CONFIRM_CONTACTS table (details in Table
Layout later in this document). If it does, locate the status field and update it
within the document(s).
• If records have the New status but lack a record ID in the
CONFIRM_CONTACTS table, route them from the process flow (avoid writing
them to an endpoint application).
• For documents with a record ID, generate a unique PROCESS_ID by
combining:
● The first two letters of the record’s FirstName
● The last two letters of the record’s LastName
● The last two characters of the ID field value.
The table layouts for both tables are at the end of this document.
4. Write records with a status other than Installed and New to the Atoms work
directory using the Work Directory connection component. Each document's
filename should contain the Name field value followed by the Date.
Beyond the guidelines provided above, you are free to use any other techniques you
like to complete your process.
The database might have additional columns not reflected in the XML documents.
You only need to map to the fields that align with the specific records under
consideration.
