Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default Value: Validate & Execute

Example: Execute Only

Snap type:

Flow


Description:

This Snap filters a document stream based on a expression. If the filter expression evaluates to true, then the document will be passed-through. If the filter expression evaluates to false, then the document will be dropped in the stream. Expressions that do not evaluate to a boolean value will cause the pipeline to fail. 

Expression functions can be found here.

Router vs. Filter

The Router and Filter Snaps are similar, but the Filter Snap only handles a single stream. The Router Snap is designed to handle multiple output views.
