Label*

Default Value: PipeLoop
Example: SimpleLoop

String

Specify 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.

Pipeline*

Default Value: N/A
Example: demo-child-pipeline

String/Expression

Specify the path of the pipeline to execute.

Pipeline Parameters

Use this field set to define child pipeline parameters to use for executing the pipeline.

Parameter name

Default Value: N/A
Example: tools

String/Suggestion

Specify the name of the parameter. You can select the Pipeline Parameters defined for the Pipeline selected in the Pipeline field.

Parameter value

Default Value: N/A
Example: $tools

String/Expression

Specify the value for thepipeline parameter, which can be an expression based on incoming documents or a constant. 

If you configure the value as an expression based on the input, then each incoming document or binary data is evaluated against that expression when invoking the pipeline. The result of the expression is JSON-encoded if it is not a string. The child Pipeline then needs to use the JSON.parse() expression to decode the parameter value.

When Reuse executions to process documents is enabled, the parameter values cannot change from one invocation to the next.

Loop options

Define the iteration configuration.

Stop condition

Default Value: N/A
Example: $num >= 10

String/Expression

Specify the condition to be evaluated during execution that decides whether the execution should stop or continue.

• The loop execution stops when the stop condition is met.

• The Snap errors out if the Stop condition cannot be evaluated at run time.

Iteration limit

Default Value: 10
Example: 15

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum limit for the number of iterations to run to avoid infinite loops.

Debug iteration outputs

Default Value: 
Example:

Checkbox

Select this checkbox to list the documents from each iteration, index and stop condition evaluation for debug purposes.

Execution options

Define the child pipeline execution configuration.

Execute on

Default Value: LOCAL_NODE
Example: SNAPLEX_WITH_PATH

Dropdown list

Select the one of the following Snaplex options to specify the target Snaplex for the child Pipelinepipeline:

• SNAPLEX_WITH_PATH: Runs the child pipeline on a user-specified Snaplex.

• LOCAL_NODE: Runs the child pipeline on the same node as the parent pipeline.

• LOCAL_SNAPLEX: Runs the child pipeline on one of the available nodes in the same Snaplex as the parent pipeline.

Snaplex path

Default Value: N/A
Example:

String/Expression

Appears when you choose the SNAPLEX_WITH_PATH option.

Specify the Snaplex to execute on.

Execution label

Default Value: N/A
Example: demo

String/Expression

Specify the label to display in the Dashboard for the current execution.

Snap Execution

Default Value: 
Example: Validate & Execute

Dropdown list

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

• 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.
