Overview

You must create Snowflake accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your

...

pipelines. You can configure your Snowflake accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

  • The Snowflake Snap Pack is now bundled with the default Snowflake JDBC JAR v3.14.

  • As of November 1, 2023, Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud must use Snowflake JDBC JARs v3.13.25 or higher. If you are using the default drivers bundled with Snowflake or ELT Snaps, your pipelines are not affected. If your Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud use older JARs, you must update the client drivers. Learn more.

Snap-Account Compatibility

Configuring Snowflake Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag a Snowflake Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. Click the Image Modified icon to view the accounts to which you have access and select the account that you want to use.

  2. Click Image Modified to save the Snap settings.

Creating an account

  1. Click Add Account in the Account Reference dialog.

  2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the account type, and click ContinueThe Add Account dialog associated with the account type appears.
    Image Modified

  3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information associated with each account type, refer to Snowflake Azure Database Account, Snowflake Google Storage Database Account, Snowflake S3 Database Account, Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account, Snowflake Azure OAuth2 Account, Snowflake Google Storage OAuth2 Account, and Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account

  4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the Snowflake account.

Info

Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.

Configuring Snowflake Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

Use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click  (blue star) > Account > Snowflake, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.

    Image Modified

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.

Avoid updating account credentials while Pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.

Account Encryption

Standard Encryption

If you are using Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are followed.

Enhanced Encryption

If you have the Enhanced Account Encryption feature, the following describes which fields are encrypted for each sensitivity level selected per each account.

Account

  • High: Password

  • Medium + High: Username, password

  • Low + Medium + High: Username, password

Using Pipeline Parameters in Account Configuration

You can use Pipeline parameters when configuring dynamic Snowflake accounts. See Pipeline Parameters in Pipeline Properties for more information.

Example

Define the following two Pipeline parameters in the Pipeline with which you want to associate the new account:

  • User_name

  • Pass_word

You will use these values in the Dynamic account.

Image Modified

In the Snowflake pipeline, create a Snowflake Dynamic Account 

  • Set the expression toggle on for both Username and Password

  • Set Username to _user_name and Password to _password

  • Click Apply and fill the Snap Settings for the desired function.

Info

You cannot Validate an account connection when creating a Snowflake Dynamic Account, because the account properties of a dynamic account are provided dynamically as Pipeline parameters.

Image Modified

Apply the changes. Your dynamic account is now configured; and your username and password details should change as you update them in your Pipeline parameters.
