Description

Label*

None.

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.

Default ValueBinary Copy
ExampleCopy Binary Data

Snap Execution

None.

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.

snapsmrc535

Stable

  • Adds a new Snap, Gate, which enables you to consolidate multiple input streams into a single output document where each input stream is displayed as a label containing the list of records received by that input view.

  • The Pipeline Execute Snap now provides the following capabilities:

    • Specify the Snaplex on which to run child Pipelines. You can now select the Snaplex on which to run the child Pipelines through the Execute On and Snaplex Path fields. The default option is executing the child Pipeline on the same Snaplex node as the Parent, but you can also specify a different Snaplex through the drop-down list, which includes the option to enter a Snaplex name manually.

    • Configure retry logic for child Pipeline executions. You can now configure retry logic for child Pipeline executions through the Number of RetriesRetry Interval, and Timeout fields.
