Overview
The SnapLogic Platform® offers the flexibility to configure your Snaps on Cloudplex, Groundplex, or both. However, the deployability of Snaps to Cloudplex, Groundplex, or both is determined by the following criteria:
Firewall: In cases where When a firewall protects the endpoints, Cloudplex cannot establish a connection. To enable a Snap to function with Cloudplex, it is mandatory to whitelist the Cloudplex to allow it to interact with these endpoints.Processes: For Snaps that require specific processes like sqlldr, bcp utility, or AZcopy to execute, you must set up these processes within your Groundplex configuration. Cloudplex cannot run such processes.
Configuration: Snaps that involve IAM Role configuration are incompatible with Cloudplex. Consequently, such Snaps should must be executed on Groundplex to function successfully.
...
Processes: Snaps that require specific processes to execute, such as sqlldr, bcp, or AZcopy, must be set up within your Groundplex configuration. The SnapLogic Platform does not support the installation of utilities or processes on Cloudplexes.
All Snaps support Groundplex . Check the following table to evaluate the Snaps that are compatible with Cloudplexby default. However, a few Snap Packs require you to install specific utilities within your Groundplex configuration to run your pipelines.
Snap Pack | Snaps | Conditions to run on CloudplexUtilities required for Snap Packs in Groundplex configuration | |
The Azure SQL Bulk - Extract Snap requires a minimum of SQL Server 2016 .This Snapand requires the BCP utility program internally to perform the bulk load action. | |||
You must install the AzCopy utility in the Snaplex for fetching to fetch the file path. If If the path is null, the native Azure Storage Azure Storage SDK is used for all operations. Learn more about the AzCopy command. You must install the utility, only if you use the ABFS (Azure Blob File Storage) file protocol Azure Data Lake Gen 2) for bulk operation. If AzCopy Utility is not installed for ABS file transfer, the file transfer will not be as fast as using AzCopy because a REST call will be invoked for each file content instead of a bulk operation. | |||
For Hadoop with Kerberos, you must install a few utilities on the plexSnaplex, such as kinit, kdestroy, and so on. Additionally the Hadoop Snaps use the Hadoop libraries that invoke a few system programs internally. | |||
The Oracle Bulk Load Snap uses Oracle SQL*Loader internally to perform the bulk load action. You must install sqlldr utility for the Snap to run on CloudplexGroundplex. | |||
This Snap requires the BCP utility program utility program internally to perform the bulk load action. | |||
Tableau Write: [Deprecated] TDE Formatter: [Deprecated] The Tableau To use these Snaps, Tableau libraries must be available on the Windows, Linux, or IoS-based Snaplex nodes to use this Snap. This means that the Tableau server must have been installed on the server and be available to the Snaplex process. If the Tableau server is not installed, any use of the Tableau Snaps causes server exceptions. You must install the Tabcmd utility and set up the Tableau Hyper Lib. | |||
