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 when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

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

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

Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

 

Default ValueSQL Server - Table List
Example: SQL Server - Table List

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.

Schema Name

 

Default Value: N/A
Example: schema_demo

String/Expression

Specify the database schema name. Selecting a schema filters the Table name list to show only those tables within the selected schema. The property is suggestible and will retrieve available database schemas during suggest values.

Compute table graph

Default Value: Deselected

Checkbox

Specify the dependents among tables and returns each table with a list of tables it has foreign key references to. The ordering of outputted tables is from least dependent to most-dependent. Note that as turning on this option will significantly slow down the Snap, it should be left as off unless you need it. 

Number of retries

 

Default Value: 0
Example3

Integer/Expression

Specify the maximum number of attempts to be made to receive a response. The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response.

 

Retry interval (seconds)

 

Default Value: 1
Example10

Integer/Expression

Specify the time interval between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt resulted in an exception.

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Dropdown list

Multiexcerpt include macronameSnap_Execution_Introduced

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.

Examples

In the following example, the Table List Snap retrieves all the tables under schema 'dbo' and writes it to output view.
