Software Installation

One time preparation of your development computer

Before you can start Groovy Scripting on your local machine, you must install some software. Find a checklist and detailed information below.

Checklist

• Boomi Atom Installer downloaded : atom_install64.exe

• Atom Install Token : atom-c4cf1ef2-b021-4acb-8fc3-...

• Atom installed into: c:\Program Files\Boomi AtomSphere\LocalAtom

• Apache Groovy downloaded: apache-groovy-sdk-2.4.13.zip

• Unzipped into: %UserProfile%\.groovy\sdk\groovy-2.4.13

• JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA installed

Downloaded files

Local Atom

The local Atom is required on your machine because we must reference the Atom binaries (Boomi’s Java libraries) and the bundled Java Run-Time (JRE).

Atom installation typically takes ~5 minutes. A good Internet connection is and Admin Rights are required.

Install a local Atom

There is no need to start the ATOM, and you may disable the Windows Service.

Groovy 2.4.13 SDK

Boomi Integration uses Groovy v2.4.13 to run Groovy scripts. I recommend using this version 13 because you will want to test and debug your scripts with the same run-time that the Atom uses. (Groovy v1.5 is not supportet!)

• Download Groovy SDK v2.4.13

• Unzip into any directory you want.

  • I prefer using: %UserProfile%\.groovy\sdk\groovy-2.4.13

Using a Terminal Window

md %UserProfile%\.groovy\sdk

Note

There are newer version of Groovy Script, there are other 2.x versions and there are older versions, like v1.5. Do not download or install any of them! Boomi Integration uses Groovy Script v2.4.13 and that is the only version we want!

JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA - Groovy IDE

ScriptEase uses JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA. While I recommend using the Ultimate Edition for professional use, the Community Edition is good enough to get started.

You must scroll down a bit on the download page to find the Community Edition -> 650MB:
