This account is used by Snaps in the Snowflake Snap Pack.

You can create an account from SnapLogic 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 Snowflake:

Click Create, then select Snowflake > Snowflake S3 Database Account or Snowflake > Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account or Snowflake Azure Database Account.
Supply an account label.
Supply the Account properties and Advanced properties for your Snowflake Database account. When using Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account, you can specify the Account properties as expressions referencing pipeline parameters.
(Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
Click Apply.

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

If the Snap fails to connect to the database, it will retry three more times.

You can Validate an account connection when creating a Snowflake S3 Database Account but not when creating a Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account because the account properties of a dynamic account are provided dynamically as pipeline parameters.

The difference between Snowflake S3 Database Account and Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account is that in the latter you can specify the Account properties as expressions referencing pipeline parameters. For information on setting up a Snowflake Dynamic Account, see Using Pipeline Parameters in Account Configuration, below.

For details on account encryption, see Using Account Encryption, below.

Using Pipeline Parameters in Account Configuration

You can use pipeline parameters when configuring dynamic Snowflake accounts. For information on pipeline parameters, see Pipeline Parameters in Pipeline Properties.

Example

Define the following two pipeline parameters in the pipeline with which you want to associate the new account:

User_name
Pass_word

You will use these values in the dynamic account.

Back in the Snowflake pipeline, create a Snowflake Dynamic Account

Set the expression toggle on for both Username and Password
Set Username to _user_name and Password to _password
Click Apply and fill the Snap Settings for the desired function.

You cannot Validate an account connection when creating a Snowflake Dynamic Account because the account properties of a dynamic account are provided dynamically as pipeline parameters.

Apply the changes. Your dynamic account is now configured; and your username and password details should change as you update them in your pipeline parameters.

November 2022	431patches19581	20 Jan 2023	Latest	The Snowflake SCD2 Snap works as expected and does not display the `Cannot find input data related to the output record` error when you use the TIMESTAMPNTZ data type columns as Natural key fields. Fixed the memory leakage issue ( because of Key/pair authentication that occupied some memory) in the Snowflake Snaps. The performance of the Snowflake Snaps is optimized—there is less memory consumption, and exact memory dumps before and after the Pipeline execution.
November 2022	431patches19454	12 Jan 2023	Latest	The Snowflake Snap Pack supports geospatial data types. As the Snowflake Snap Pack requires using our custom Snowflake JDBC driver for full support of all data types, contact support@snaplogic.com for details.
November 2022	431patches19220	08 Dec 2022	Latest	The Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account now support expressions for external staging fields.
November 2022	431patches19220	08 Dec 2022	Latest	The Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap no longer supports values from an upstream input document in the Key columns field when the expression button is enabled. The value must remain constant throughout the Snap’s execution and now limits support for expressions to include only Pipeline parameters. To avoid breaking your existing Pipelines that use a value from the input schema in the Key columns field, update the Snap settings to use an input value from Pipeline parameters instead. The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap no longer displays the validation warning in the following cases: When you configure the Validation Mode as NONE and Validation Errors Type as Do not show errors in the Snap, or When Validation Mode is RETURN_n_ROWS, RETURN_ERRORS, or RETURN_ALL_ERRORS.
November 2022	main18944	10 Nov 2022	Stable	The Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap now routes the `403-Access Denied` error to the error view (when the error view is enabled) when you do not have `DeleteObject` permission to delete the temporary files in the S3 bucket. Fixed the following issues in the Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap: The Snap failed when the Preserve case sensitivity field was not selected and the column names in the input document and the target table were the same but the cases were different. Now, the Snap does not fail and loads the data correctly to the target table. The Snap created a table when it did not exist with multiple columns in the target table when there were two input views, but the column name cases were different in both views. Now, the Snap creates the table from the metadata provided by the second input view and loads the data into the target table from the first input view. The Snowflake Insert Snap now creates the target table only from the table metadata of the second input view when the following conditions are met: The Create table if not present checkbox is selected. The target table does not exist. The table metadata is provided in the second input view.
November 2022	430patches18911	08 Nov 2022	Latest	Because of performance issues, all Snowflake Snaps now ignore the Cancel queued queries when pipeline is stopped or if it fails option for Manage Queued Queries, even when selected. Snaps behave as though the default Continue to execute queued queries when the Pipeline is stopped or if it fails option were selected.
October 2022	430patches18781	27 Oct 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Insert and Snowflake Bulk Upsert Snaps now do not fail with the `SQL Operation failed` error, when you insert the uppercase key name into a mixed-case column if the Preserve case sensitivity checkbox is deselected. The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now works as expected when you configure On Error with SKIP_FILE_error_percent_limit% and set the Error Percent Limit to more than the percentage of rows with invalid data in the CSV file.
October 2022	430patches18432	13 Oct 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now has a Validation Errors Type dynamic field, which provides options for displaying validation errors. You can now choose Aggregate errors per row to display a summary view of errors.
September 2022	430patches17962	19 Sep 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap now triggers the metadata query only once even for invalid input, thereby improving the performance of Snap.
September 2022	430patches17894	15 Sep 2022	Latest	The Snowflake Select Snap now works as expected when the table name is dependent on an upstream input.
August 2022	430patches17748	02 Sep 2022	Latest	Fixes in the Snowflake Bulk Load Snap: The Snap now routes the `403-Access Denied` error to the error view (when the error view is enabled) when you do not have `DeleteObject` permission to delete the temporary files in the S3 bucket. The Snap now checks for the expiration time whenever it receives a new access token for refreshing the token in Snowflake OAuth2 account.
August 2022	430patches17377	25 Aug 2022	Latest	The following issues are fixed in the Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap: The Snap successfully loads the data even when you deselect the Preserve case- sensitivity checkbox and the source and target column names are similar, but with different casing. When the Snap has two input views, it creates the target table from the metadata provided by the second input view and loads the data into the target table from the first input view. The Snowflake Select Snap now validates successfully even when you set the Table Name field with an expression.
August 2022	main17386	11 Aug 2022	Stable	The following Snowflake Accounts support Key Pair Authentication. Snowflake Azure Database Account Snowflake Google Storage Database Account Snowflake S3 Database Account Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account
4.29 Patch	429patches16478	21 Jul 2022	Latest	Fixed an issue with Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap where Snap failed with 301 status code - SnapDataException.
4.29 Patch	429patches16458	27 Jun 2022	Latest	Fixed the following issues with the Snaps that use Snowflake Accounts Key Pair Authentication. The Snaps were not able to read the private keys provided as Pipeline parameters, because the key was malformed by replacing the line breaks with whitespace characters. Now, the private keys are properly formed and read when provided as Pipeline parameters. The Snap displayed a Null Point Exception error when you pass an invalid key into the Private Key field like test. Now, the Snap displays a valid error message. Fixed an issue with the Snaps due to an upgrade made to HikariCP that caused a conditional failure and prevented the downstream Snaps to supply the parameters to the stored procedure. Fixed an issue with Snowflake Execute and Snowflake Select Snaps where the Snap displayed an exception error when the FLOAT or DOUBLE datatype column has the value as NaN (Not a Number). Now the output value is written as-is (NaN) for FLOAT or DOUBLE datatype column and does not display an exception. Enhanced the following Snowflake Accounts with support for Key Pair Authentication.

4.21	snapsmrc542	09 May 2020	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.20 Patch	db/snowflake8800	14 Apr 2020	Latest	Certifies the Snowflake Snap Pack against JDBC Driver version 3.12.3. Snowflake Execute and Multi-Execute Snaps may break existing Pipelines if the JDBC Driver is updated to a newer version. With the updated JDBC driver (version 3.12.3), the Snowflake Execute and Multi-Execute Snaps' output displays a Status of "-1" instead of "0" without the Message field upon successfully executing DDL statements. If your Pipelines use these Snaps and downstream Snaps use the Status field's value from these, you must modify the downstream Snaps to proceed on a status value of -1 instead of 0. This change in the Snap behavior follows from the change introduced in the Snowflake JDBC driver in version 3.8.1: "Statement.getUpdateCount() and PreparedStatement.getUpdateCount() return the number of rows updated by DML statements. For all other types of statements, including queries, they return -1."
