SnapLogic automatically appends "azuredatalakestore.net" to the store name you specify when using Azure Data Lake; therefore, you do not need to add 'azuredatalakestore.net' to the URI while specifying the directory.

Use glob patterns to display a list of directories or files when you click the Suggest icon in the Directory or File property. A complete glob pattern is formed by combining the value of the Directory property with the Filter property. If the value of the Directory property does not end with "/", the Snap appends one, so that the value of the Filter property is applied to the directory specified by the Directory property.

The following rules are used to interpret glob patterns:

The * character matches zero or more characters of a name component without crossing directory boundaries. For example, the *.csv pattern matches a path that represents a file name ending in .csv, and *.* matches all file names that contain a period.

The ** characters match zero or more characters across directories; therefore, it matches all files or directories in the current directory and in its subdirectories. For example, /home/** matches all files and directories in the /home/ directory.

The ? character matches exactly one character of a name component. For example, 'foo.?' matches file names that start with 'foo.' and are followed by a single-character extension.

The \ character is used to escape characters that would otherwise be interpreted as special characters. The expression \\ matches a single backslash, and \{ matches a left brace, for example.

The ! character is used to exclude matching files from the output. 

The [ ] characters form a bracket expression that matches a single character of a name component out of a set of characters. For example, '[abc]' matches 'a', 'b', or 'c'. The hyphen (-) may be used to specify a range, so '[a-z]' specifies a range that matches from 'a' to 'z' (inclusive). These forms can be mixed, so '[abce-g]' matches 'a', 'b', 'c', 'e', 'f' or 'g'. If the character after the [ is a ! then it is used for negation, so '[!a-c]' matches any character except 'a', 'b', or 'c'.

Within a bracket expression, the '*', '?', and '\' characters match themselves. The '-' character matches itself if it is the first character within the brackets, or the first character after the !, if negating.

The '{ }' characters are a group of sub-patterns where the group returns a match if any sub-pattern in the group matches the contents of a target directory. The ',' character is used to separate sub-patterns. Groups cannot be nested. For example, the pattern '*.{csv, json}' matches file names ending with '.csv' or '.json'.

Leading dot characters in a file name are treated as regular characters in match operations. For example, the '*' glob pattern matches file name ".login".

All other characters match themselves.

Examples:

'*.csv' matches all files with a csv extension in the current directory only.

'**.csv' matches all files with a csv extension in the current directory and in all its subdirectories.

*[!{.pdf,.tmp}] excludes all files with the extension PDF or TMP.

• The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response.
• When the number of retries are exhausted, the Snap writes the error to the error view.
• Retry operation, which is the attempts to receive a response occurs only when the Snap loses the connection with the server.
