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

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.

Notes in field descriptions

  • Confluence’s new editor does not allow nesting of most macros inside another macro, especially the Note/Alert/Warning/Info (Panel) macros inside a table macro and Excerpt macros inside Expand or Panel Macro+ macros. So, as a workaround use the Footnotes approach as mentioned below:

    • Assign numbers at the Note locations in the form of follow through phrases like See Note 2 below this table. or such.

    • Add your Notes---an appropriate Note/Alert/Warning/Info (Panel) macro---immediately below the macro (for example, Table macro) beginning the content with the corresponding number assigned.

Info
  • Asterisk ( * ): Indicates a mandatory field.

  • Suggestion icon ((blue star)): Indicates a list that is dynamically populated based on the configuration.

  • Expression icon ((blue star) ): Indicates the value is an expression (if enabled) or a static value (if disabled). Learn more about Using Expressions in SnapLogic.
