| Parameter Name | Data Type | Description | Default Value | Example | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Label | String | Required. 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. | N/A | N/A | ||||||||||||
Entity | String | Required. Lets you define an entity of the API. You can either choose an entity from the suggestion drop-down or type an entity manually. The values in the suggestion drop-down are displayed dynamically from different users’ accounts. The entity is shown as | N/A | Foundation/Platform (PLT) – User or User | ||||||||||||
Batch size | Integer | Required. This property value is allowed to be from 1 through 10,000. Each input document forms one SuccessFactors record to be upserted. The Snap stores record in memory until the number of records reaches the batch size and sends the request to SuccessFactors in a single batch. Increasing the batch size increases the amount of memory used during the data load. Decreasing the batch size increases the number of API calls against SuccessFactors. | 200 | 200, 1000 | ||||||||||||
Refresh metadata | Check box | If selected, the Snap refreshes the cache and shows the refreshed metadata results including any entities/parameters that were added or deleted. This is useful in cases where changes are made to the dataset outside of SnapLogic, such as when a dataset has been created or deleted, or when there are changes in the metadata of SuccessFactors.
