The SnapLogic Create Snap does not create a Task when exported by the SnapLogic Read with the Normalized checkbox selected.
Views:
Input
This Snap has exactly one document input view.
Output
This Snap has at most one document output view.
Error
This Snap has at most one document error view and produces zero or more documents in the view.
Settings
Label
Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Asset type
Required. Select the type of asset to create. Options available include:
TASK
ACCOUNT
PIPELINE
PROJECT (used for both projects and Project Spaces)
SNAPLEX
Default value: ACCOUNT. If your org is configured forEnhanced Account Encryption, the information you use to create an account is automatically encrypted.
Asset path
Required. Absolute path for the asset in the form of: <org>/<project_space>/<project>/<asset>
Depending on which asset you are trying to create, the leading forward slash ( / ) in an asset path may or may not be required. If the path fails, try entering it without the leading slash.
Examples: myorg/Engineering/Status/LatestDefects
Default value: [None]
Snap execution
Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:
Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.
Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
Starting from version 4.27, Metadata Snaps validate Pipeline fields against the schema. If a SnapLogic Create Snap or a SnapLogic Update Snap would modify an existing Pipeline schema, an error is thrown to avoid affecting downstream processes that depend on the same Pipeline schema.
Examples
Create a Pipeline
You can create a pipeline from an existing pipeline by using a pipeline containing SnapLogic Read + SnapLogic Create.
In the SnapLogic Read Snap, set the Asset Path to the pipeline that you want to copy from the org name down to the pipeline name, such as org/project_space/project/pipeline.
In the SnapLogic Create Snap, set the Asset Path to the location and pipeline name that create, such as org/project_space/new_project/pipeline.
Create a Project
To create a project, you must have a SnapLogic Read Snap that feeds into a SnapLogic Create Snap as the SnapLogic Read Snap is responsible for passing metadata related information (Org names, users, ACLs) to the downstream SnapLogic Create Snap.
The same practice should also be used for Project Spaces.
Create a Snaplex
Support for Groundplex Only
You can use this method for programmatically creating a Groundplex when designing a Pipeline.
You can create a Snaplex programmatically with this Snap by building a Pipeline that creates the Snaplex, creating a Triggered Task (API) based on this Pipeline, and then sharing the URL with your users. Now users in your Org that do not have Admin privileges can create a Snaplex by using the Task URL.
To create a Snaplex, use a File Reader or a JSON Generator Snap to specify, at a minimum, the following details:
Snaplex Name
Snaplex Location
Snaplex Environment
The following example shows default Snaplex settings in JSON format in a JSON Generator Snap.
In the SnapLogic Create Snap, specify the following details:
Asset Type: Snaplex.
Asset Path: The absolute path to the Snaplex.
Once you execute the Pipeline, go to Manager and check in your target Project folder to verify that the Snaplex asset has been created. You can also programmatically delete the Snaplex by using the Delete Snap in the same way.
