Overview

Snap Pack versions are independent of Snaplex versions. As an Org admin, you can keep track of the version for your Snap Packs in Manager using the Snap Packs, as well as your Snaplex Versions.

...

• Since the Snaplex on which the pipeline run is unknown, an Org-level Snap Catalog is used. This Snap Catalog controls the Snaps that SnapLogic Designer displays and the properties that are displayed in those Snaps.

• The design-time Snap Catalog uses old SnapPack Snap Pack versions if there is any Snaplex in the Org on an older Snaplex version (which is the version of the platform).

• If all Snaplexes are on the newer Snaplex version, the latest Snap Pack versions are used.

Execution Time

Execution time consists of Pipeline executions that are the result of Task invocation. During Pipeline execution, the Snaps used depends on the Pipeline location and the Snaplex version.

• If the project containing the Pipeline has private SnapPacksSnap Packs, then those Snap Pack versions are used. Otherwise, the Snap Pack corresponding to the Snap distribution is used.

• If the JCC node is on the new Snaplex version, the new SnapPack Snap Pack versions are used.

• If the JCC node is on a previous Snaplex version, then the previous versions of the SnapPacks Snap Packs are used.

Order of Snap Version Reference

1. Private SnapPack The private Snap Pack version in a project Project where the Pipeline is located.

2. Private SnapPack The private Snap Pack version in project a Project space shared folder

3. Private SnapPack The private Snap Pack version in Org-level global shared folder

4. The Snap version configured in the distribution (stable/latest) used by the Org. The Org-level version overrides are applied here.

A private SnapPack Snap Pack version always takes higher precedence over the configured Org-level SnapPackSnap Pack.

Snaplex Versions and Snap Packs

During the five-week window for Snaplex auto-upgrade, Snaplex instances Snaplexes could be in one of three states.

• All Snaplexes are on the previous Platform version--->Design-time Snap catalog uses old Snaps

• Mixed Versioned versioned Snaplexes include some Snaplexes that are on the previous Platform version and some that are running on a new version--->Design-time Snap Pack Catalog uses old snaps

• All Snaplexes on new platform version--->Design-time Snap Pack catalog uses new snaps

So until Until all Snaplex instances Snaplexes are upgraded to the new version, the design-time Snap Pack Catalog will use the old Snap Pack Catalog. If one Snaplex is switched back to the previous Snaplex version after the upgrade, the catalog again reverts to the previous version.
