Purpose of the Article: This Blog provides the solution to dynamically update the Cross Reference table without logging into Boomi Atomsphere Platform. We can make the required changes to the Cross Reference table by just making an API call.
Intended Audience: Boomi Developers
Tools and Technology: Boomi
Key words: Cross Reference table, Atomsphere API, Environment Extensions
Why Atomsphere API?
Atomsphere provides a large number of APIs from where we can get information and perform different operations within the platform. Using Atomsphere API we can easily access and control Boomi platform, thus saving time.
Updating cross reference table in Boomi process can be done by logging into the platform but using Atomsphere API we can easily update with an API call.
We require Boomi account login credentials or token. Token is recommended to avoid using login credentials.
To update cross reference table in environment extensions we require ENVIRONMENT EXTENSIONS object.
PRE-REQUISITES:
- Account Id
- Environment Id
- Cross Reference Id
To Get the details of cross reference tables deployed to a particular environment:
URL: https://api.boomi.com/api/rest/v1/accountId/EnvironmentExtensions/id
