You can do a lot with . However, there are use-cases where you may need the assistance of .
Uses-Cases
Intermediate storage of documents between process runs
For integration processes a very important functionality is to persist documents between process runs. For example, if you import data (files) from an sFTP server you want to 'park' their records (documents) so that another, downstream process can process them further.
The intermediate storage acts as a cache where you can maintain the status of each record while it is beeing processed asynchrounusly from different processes: import -> validate -> process -> respond.
Render data to make it look good for a human reader is something that is required in many cases. For example, rendering a well-formatted HTML e-mail is a use-case that Boomi wasn't built for (Report Engine).
The allow you to use the template engine to render documents in almost any format.
