This field set comprises the following fields:

  • TimeOut
  • Maximum request attempts
  • RetryInterval

TimeOut

Integer

Required. Enter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must try to establish connection with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance. If the connection cannot be established within this duration, the Snap times out, writes the event to the log, and waits until the specified RetryInterval before attempting to reconnect.

Snap Execution

String

Indicates how the Snap must be executed. Available options are:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap (up to 50 records) during Pipeline validation; performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline execution.
  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution; does not execute the Snap during Pipeline validation.
  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and, by extension, its downstream Snaps.
