Setup a Workspace

To use Boomi Console we need a Workspace 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.

Create a workspace folder under BoomiConsole. %UserProfile%\Documents\BoomiConsole\bin
Right-Click workspace and Open In Terminal

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
Initialize the workspace

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.
