This account is used by the Snaps in the Azure SQL Snap Pack.

You can create an account from Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on Pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the Pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Account Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for binary files:

  1. Click Create, then select any Azure SQL Account:
    • Azure SQL Account
    • Azure SQL Dynamic Account
    • Azure SQL Active Directory Account

    • Azure SQL Active Directory Dynamic Account

  2. Supply an account label.
  3. Supply the account properties for your database.
  4. (Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  5. Click Apply.
Warning

Avoid changing account credentials while Pipelines using them are in progress. This may lead to unexpected results, including locking the account.

Overview

You must create Azure SQL accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can configure your Azure SQL accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.

Snap-Account Compatibility

Snaps in the Azure SQL Snap Pack work with different accounts per the following table.

Configuring Azure SQL Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag an Azure SQL 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. In the Account tab, click the dropdown(blue star)  icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.

  2. Click the Save (blue star) icon.

...

Creating an account

  1. In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

  2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Create Account dialog window associated with the account type is displayed.

    Image Added
  3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information required for each account type, refer to Azure SQL Account and Azure SQL Active Directory Account.

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

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the Azure SQL 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 Azure SQL Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can 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 Azure SQL, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.

    creating-acc-frm-mgr.gifImage Added
  2. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

  3. Click Apply to complete configuring the Azure SQL account.

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