Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.

Snap ExecutionDrop-down list

Select one of the three following modes in which the Snap executes:

  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline

...

  • runtime.

...

  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline

...

Check boxes:

  • If selected, <Snap behavior>.
    If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has no data.
  • If selected, <behavior>. If not selected/Otherwise, <behavior>
    Use "If not selected" if the first sentence is long.
    If selected, the Snap uses the file path value as is. Otherwise, the Snap uses the file path value in the URL.
    If selected, an empty file is written when the incoming document has empty data. If there is no incoming document at the input view of the Snap, no file is written regardless of the value of the property.
  • Select to <action>
    Use this if the behavior is binary. Either this or that, where the converse behavior is apparent/obvious.
    Select to execute the Pipeline during validation.

Text Fields

  • Describe what the field represents/contains. Additional details, as applicable, in a separate sentence. Include caveats such as the field being conditionally mandatory, limitations, etc.
    The name of the account.
    The account ID that you want to use to log in to the endpoint.
    Required if IAM Role is selected.
    Do not use this field if you are using batch processing.

Numeric Text Fields

  • Describe what the field represents/contains. Additional details, as applicable, in a separate sentence. Include caveats such as the field being conditionally mandatory, limitations, etc. Include special values that impact the field's behavior as a bullet list.
    The number of records in a batch.
    The number of seconds for which you want the Snap to wait between retries.
    The number of seconds for which the Snap waits between retries.
    Use the following special values:
    * 0: Disables batching.
    * 1: Includes all documents in a single request.

...

Field Sets

Specify advanced parameters that you want to include in the request.

This fieldset consists of the following fields:

  • Field 1
  • Field 2
  • Field 3

Troubleshooting

...

Batch execution failed

...

The Pipeline ended before the batch could complete execution due to a connection error.

Verify that the Batch size field is configured to handle the inputs properly. If you are not sure when the input data is available, configure this field as zero to keep the connection always open.

Examples

Excluding Fields from the Input Data Stream

We can exclude the unrequired fields from the input data stream by omitting them in the Input schema field set. This example demonstrates how we can use the <Snap Name> to achieve this result:

...

  • execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.

Examples

Obtain Employee Details

This example demonstrates the process to retrieve employee details from Employee Data Set table using Adobe Experience Execute Snap. Use Mapper Snap to transform incoming data and send the output to JSON Formatter Snap to read the document and write the JSON binary data to output. Finally, use File Write Snap to write JSON file output to an end point.

In this example, we will execute a SQL query to retrieve employee data through Adobe Experience Execute Snap.

First, provide inputs to the Adobe Experience Platform Execute Snap Settings fields. You will retrieve the data on the basis of the given SQL Statement on running the Pipeline.

Now, we connect Mapper Snap to transform incoming data for mapping and transfer the output to JSON Formatter Snap.

In the next step, we connect JSON Formatter Snap to read JSON document data from Mapper Snap, and formats and writes it as JSON binary data to its output view.

Finally, we connect File Writer Snap to the Pipeline to write JSON file output to an end point. Enter a name in the File name field and run the Pipeline. You will find a JSON file with a record of employee details.
