Upstream Snap is optional. You can connect any Snap with a document output view, such as Mapper or Copy Snaps upstream of this Snap.

The Snap does not require input data. Input documents may be used to evaluate any JavaScript expression in the File property.

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 while 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 when the Snap encounters an error.

• Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the records.

• Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

String

None

Specify a unique name for the Snap.

String/Expression

None

Specify a name of the RabbitMQ exchange bound to the queue. If you do not specify a value for exchange, the default exchange provided by RabbitMQ is considered.

Dropdown list

None

The type of RabbitMQ exchange used to push messages. Available options are:

• direct: Routes the messages to the queues only on matching with the routing key.

• fanout: Routes the messages to the queues that are bound to it regardless of the routing keys and patterns.

• headers: Routes the messages to the queues based on header values as specified in the binding. Provide the x-match and Header Properties if selected.

• topic: Routes the messages to the queues based on the routing key and the binding pattern.

Checkbox

None

Select this checkbox to enable the exchange to be durable.

String/Expression

None

Conditional. Specify a name of the RabbitMQ queue from which messages have to be consumed. If there is no queue with given queue name on RabbitMQ, then a new queue is created and consumer starts listening. If the exchange name and routing key are also specified, then the queue is bound to the exchange with the given routing key.

Checkbox

None

Select this check box to indicate that the RabbitMQ autoDelete property associated with the existing queue is set to true.

String/Expression

None

Specify the routing key to be used for binding the queue with the exchange.

Dropdown list

None

Select one of the following modes for processing messages:

Synchronous: In synchronous mode, the consumer processes messages from the destination one at a time until a STOP is read or the Message Count is reached.

Asynchronous: In asynchronous mode, the consumer reads the messages from the destination whenever the message arrives until a 'STOP' is read or the Message Count is reached. The consumer registers a messagelistener asynchronously. It does not block, but calls (the processmessage) immediately once a message is available.

Dropdown list

None

Select one of the following modes of message acknowledgement for non-transacted sessions:

• AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE -  the session acknowledges the receipt of a message when a call to receive method or when the message listener returns successfully.

• PIPELINE_CONTROL- the client has the power when to acknowledge the message.  

Acknowledge type

Default value: Acknowledge Message 
Example: Reject Message

Dropdown list

Appears on selecting Auto_Acknowledgment from the Message Acknowledge Mode dropdown list.

Select one of the following acknowledge types for the message.

• Acknowledge Message: Successful acknowledgment of the message by the Snap to the RabbitMQ server and removal of that message from the queue.

• Reject Message: Notifies the RabbitMQ server to mark the particular message as ‘dead lettered’ and route the message to the ‘Dead Lettered Exchange.’ However, if the ‘Dead Lettered Exchange’ is not configured on the RabbitMQ server, the message is dropped from the queue automatically.

• Recover Message: Notifies the RabbitMQ server to requeue the message to be available in the queue.

Dropdown list

None

Specify the x-match value to be submitted for binding. The available options are:

• any: If selected, even one matching header value is sufficient

• all: If selected, mandates that all the values should match 

Use this fieldset to define header properties to bind the queue with an exchange as arguments.  

String/Expression

None

Specify the name of the header that is being used for the binding.

String/Expression

None

Specify the header value corresponding to the respective header key.

Use this field set to define custom argument properties to ensure all declarations for the queues use the same configuration/options/arguments.  

Argument key

Default value: N/A
Example: x-max-len-bytes, x-max-priority

String/Expression

None

Specify the name of the argument used for declaration. Learn more about Optional Arguments in RabbitMQ documentation.

Argument value

Default value: N/A
Example: 1048576, 2

String/Expression

None

Specify the value corresponding to the argument key.

Integer/Expression

None

Controls the number of messages to be consumed from the destination queue before the consumer is stopped. Negative integer value, that is the default value of -1 makes the consumer run indefinitely.

• -1: The consumer Snap runs in a never ending loop and keeps consuming messages from the destination. This is the default behavior. For example, if you set this field to the default value of -1, the Pipeline runs infinitely and reads all the messages until you stop that pipeline.

• 0: The consumer Snap reads all the messages from the destination and then stops. For example, if there are 10 messages in the destination queue, all the 10 messages are read before it stops.

• >0: The consumer Snap reads the specified number of messages before stopping. For example, if there are 20 messages in the queue and you have specified 4 as the value, then only 4 messages are read before it stops.

Integer

None

Specify the maximum number of connection attempts in case of a connection failure. The Snap retries for the configured number of attempts for establishing the connection.

If it exceeds the configured value, and the Route connection errors property is enabled, the messages are routed to the error view with the error information along with the original.

When the Route connection errors property is disabled, the Snap displays the number of published messages along with the error information, however, the Snap fails.

Integer

None

Specify the time taken in seconds to wait before retrying for another connection.

Checkbox

None

Select this checkbox to route the connection errors to the error view displaying the error information along with the original. If you deselect this checkbox, the Snap fails to execute.

Dropdown list

None

Indicates how the Snap must be executed. Available options are:

• Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap (up to 50 records) during Pipeline validation; performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline execution.

• Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution; does not execute the Snap during Pipeline validation.

• Disabled: Disables the Snap and, by extension, its downstream Snaps.
