Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

• Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

• Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the records.

• Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Label*

Default Value: Decrypt Field
Example: Decrypt_Field

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.

Fields to decrypt

Default Value: None
Example: $msg, $num

String

Specify the table for JSON-path expressions to

decrypt. Use the suggest button to select the field to decrypt.

Advanced Options

Use this fieldset to specify the key when no account is selected.

Key

Default Value: None
Example: $key

String

Specify the JSON-path expression to be evaluated with input documents or pipeline parameters to the base64 or PEM-encoded key. Do not copy-and-paste directly to the property.

For a sample pipeline using X.509 certificate, refer to this Pipeline. You can also download this Pipeline from the Downloads section below.

Transform type

Default Value: auto
Example

:

• AES/GCM/NoPadding

• DES/CBC/PKCS5Padding

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the cryptographic transformation the Snap needs to perform. The transform type is expressed as algorithm/mode/padding.
When set to auto the transformation will be automatically selected based on the type of encryption key using the following table:

Initialization vector

Default: N/A
Example: $iv

String/Expression

Specify the base64-encoded initialization vector.

Output type

Default: N/A
Example: String

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify either of the following output types you want the Snap to produce:

• String

• Document

Key salt

Default: N/A
Example: $key_params.passphrase.keys_salt

String/Expression

Specify the salt used in generating the key.

Key generation algorithm

Default: N/A
Example: $key_params.passphrase.key_gen_algorithm

String/Expression

Specify the algorithm to use to generate the encryption key.

Key generation iterations

Default: N/A
Example: $key_params.passphrase.key_gen_iterations

String/Expression

Specify the number of iterations to run when generating the encryption key.

Snap Execution

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Dropdown list

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.

The Encrypt Field Snap provides the values to be encrypted. The key value $key is passed via the input document.

The Mapper Snap maps the values to be passed to the Encrypt Field Snap.

The Encrypt Field Snap provides the fields to be encrypted. The Transform type is selected 'auto' which means that the Snap selects the algorithm as registered in the KeyStore file in the Account.
