Because of performance issues, all Snowflake Snaps now ignore the Cancel queued queries when pipeline is stopped or if it fails option for Manage Queued Queries, even when selected. Snaps behave as though the default Continue to execute queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails option were selected.
Snap Views
Type | Format | Number of Views | Examples of Upstream and Downstream Snaps | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Input | Document |
|
| Incoming documents are first written to a staging file on Snowflake's internal staging area. A temporary table is created on Snowflake with the contents of the staging file. An update operation is then run to update existing records in the target table and/or an insert operation is run to insert new records into the target table. |
Output | Document |
|
| If an output view is available, then the output document displays the number of input records and the status of the bulk upload as follows:

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:

Label* Default Value: Snowflake - Delete |
Delete Contract Emp Table | String | Specify the name for the instance. 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 | String/Expression | Specify the database schema name. In case it is not defined, then the suggestion for the Table Name retrieves all tables names of all schemas. The property is suggestible and will retrieve available database schemas during suggest values. The values can be passed using the pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter. |
Table name* Default Value: N/A | String/Expression | Specify the name of the table to execute bulk load operation on. The values can be passed using the pipeline parameters but not the upstream parameter. |

condition (deletes all records from table if left blank) Default Value: N/A | String/Expression | Specify the Snowflake SQL WHERE clause of the delete statement. The delete condition may also be passed via an upstream Snap or through the pipeline parameters. Specify a valid WHERE clause for the delete condition. If you leave this field blank, the Snap |

Number of retries Default value: 0 | Integer/Expression | Specifies 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. If the value is larger than 0, the Snap first downloads the target file into a temporary local file. If any error occurs during the download, the Snap waits for the time specified in the Retry interval and attempts to download the file again from the beginning. When the download is successful, the Snap streams the data from the temporary file to the downstream Pipeline. All temporary local files are deleted when they are no longer needed. Ensure that the local drive has sufficient free disk space to store the temporary local file. Minimum value: 0 | ||||||||||||

Retry interval (seconds) Default value: 1 | Integer/Expression | Specifies the time interval between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt resulted in an exception. | ||||||||||||
Manage Queued Queries Default value: Continue to execute queued queries when the pipeline is stopped or if it fails Example: Cancel queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails | Dropdown list | Select this property to decide whether the Snap should continue or cancel the execution of the queued Snowflake Execute SQL queries when you stop the pipeline. If you select Cancel queued queries when the pipeline is stopped or if it fails, then the read queries under execution are canceled, whereas the write queries under execution are not canceled. Snowflake internally determines which queries are safe to be canceled and cancels those queries. | ||||||||||||
Default Value: Execute only | Dropdown list |
