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.

String

The name of the schema to be used to create the output Parquet or JSON file. This schema should already have been created in the Adobe Experience Platform.

  • JSON

Snap Execution

Default Value: Execute only
Example: Validate & Execute

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs complete execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only: Performs complete execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
