  1. Installation & Setup

Setup a Workspace

Last updated 7 months ago

To use Boomi Console we need a directory where all the data is stored. I recommend using the BoomiConsole directory where you have installed the binaries and create a new directory called workspace.

By default, Windows uses a PowerShell Terminal (PS). There are a couple of reasons to not using it, and we work with a Windows Console (CMD): PS ...\BoomiConsole\workspace>cmd

In the Console Window we initialize the workspace by copying the workspace template (from the bin folder).

xcopy %BC_DIR%\Templates\Workspace\*.*  .  /e /y /q /i

Verify everything is working by running BC from a command-line, and you should see a list of available commands.

.. Documents\BoomiConsole\workspace> bc

11 Commands available:
=======================================

However, before you can do anything meaningful with Boomi Console you must


Google Drive spoiler!

DO NOT USE Google Drive to store your Workspace!

Google Drive is not really compatible with Windows File System, and I encountered serious and strange issues. For example: I tried to create a directory and I got the message "already exists" and when I tried to navigate to there the message was "cannot find directory":

md "g:\...\bc\Out" -> A subdirectory or file g:\...\bc\Out already exists. cd "g:\...\bc\Out" -> The system cannot find the path specified.
