Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current Pipeline execution if the Snap encounters an error.
Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.
Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Azure Synapse SQL Snap Pack

Release	Snap Pack Version	Date	Type	Updates
August 2024	main27765	21 Aug 2024	Stable	Upgraded the `org.json.json` library from v20090211 to v20240303, which is fully backward compatible.
May 2024	437patches26597	03 Jun 2024	Latest	Fixed an issue with the Azure Synapse SQL Select Snap that displayed an error and did not retry the connection when the serverless SQL pool was warming up.
May 2024	main26341	08 May 2024	Stable	The following Azure Synapse SQL Active Directory Account has been renamed because Microsoft has rebranded Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID. Azure Synapse SQL Active Directory Account → Azure Synapse SQL Entra Account Updated the Delete Condition (Truncates a Table if empty) field in the Azure Synapse SQL Delete Snap to Delete condition (deletes all records from a table if left blank) to indicate that all entries will be deleted from the table when this field is blank, but no truncate operation is performed.
February 2024	436patches25597	27 Mar 2024	-	Upgraded the jOOQ library of the Azure Synapse SQL Snap Pack from v3.9.1 to v3.17.x. This upgrade is currently NOT available with the latest distribution. However, you can still consume this patch through `436patches25597`. This update is scheduled to be included in the latest distribution release on April 10, 2024, and will be a part of the stable distribution with the GA release on May 8. 2024. Behavior change: The jOOQ library upgrade for Azure Synapse SQL Snap Pack, done as part of the `436patches25597`, resulted in the following behavior change: Previously, when `“null”(string)` was passed from the upstream Mapper Snap for the Bigint datatype, the /wiki/spaces/DRWIP/pages/3011674578Snap updated it as `null` without displaying any error. It displayed the status as `0` and the output message as `Success`. Now, the Snap displays the following error in this scenario: `Error converting value(expecting a number but you are sending String(“null”))` If you pass `null` from Mapper Snap with the expression enabled, the Snap updates the `null` value for the BigInt datatype correctly, as earlier.
