Snap Type:

Write

Description:

This Snap deletes records associated with Reltio objects (Entities/ Relations/ Categories) from the mentioned Tenant. It also supports bulk operation by using the Bulk Delete functionality. This Snap cannot be used for deleting Interactions because transaction-based data cannot be deleted.

ETL Transformations & Data Flow

The Reltio Delete (Object) Snap extracts (or deletes) the corresponding data from the Reltio Tenant.

Input & Output

Input: Input view is optional and is required only to pass the Object ID from the upstream Snap or value in that field.

Output: Response for the Snap contains either success or an error, depending on whether the URI was deleted or not.

Modes

Ultra Pipelines: Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Prerequisites:

Reltio account with a valid Tenant ID so that Tenant URL can be formed/API for Account Settings. Also, the Reltio account must have sufficient access to delete objects in the Tenant.

Limitations and Known Issues:

You cannot roll back the productized Reltio Snap Pack in 4.20 to a prior version.

Configurations:

Account & Access

This Snap uses account references created on the Accounts page of SnapLogic Manager to handle access to this endpoint. See Reltio Account for information on setting up this type of account.

Views

Input	This Snap has at most one document input view.
Output	This Snap has exactly one document output view.
Error	This Snap has at most one document error view and produces zero or more documents in the view.

Troubleshooting:

The section describes typical issues you may encounter while using this Snap, and instructions on how to work around them:

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.

Tenant URL

Required. This determines the Reltio host with Tenant ID. Use this format:
https://<reltio_host>/api/tenant_id>.

Example: https://test.reltio.com/reltiotest/api/XKiqdracb178fmuXYr3U7ZrG6/

Default value: https://<your_reltio_host>/reltio/api/<tenant_id>

This value can be provided dynamically as a pipeline parameter or directly in the Snap, but not as an upstream parameter.

Object

Required. The Reltio Object from where the data is to be deleted. This is a suggestible field.

Reltio typically has 4 objects - Entities/ Interactions/ Relations/ Categories. Suggestion only works if the valid account/ tenant URL is provided.

Default value: [None]

This value can be provided dynamically as a pipeline parameter or directly in the Snap, but not as an upstream parameter.

Object Id

Required. The identifier for the object to be deleted. Multiple objects can be deleted by using the Bulk delete option but in that the multiple IDs must be separated by a comma (,).

Default value: [None]

Bulk delete

This property enables deleting multiple entities at a time, separated by commas.

Default value: Not selected

Retry limit

Batch size

Thread limit

Required. Specifies the maximum threads of this Snap to delete the Reltio Objects.

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 50

Default value: 20

This value can be provided dynamically as a pipeline parameter or directly in the Snap, but not as an upstream parameter.

Examples

Basic Use Case

The following pipeline describes how the Snap functions as a standalone Snap in a pipeline:

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > Reltio_Delete_Object_BC_1.png

The Snap is configured with the following parameters:

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > relDelObject.png

An example of the output from executing this pipeline:

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > Reltio_Delete Object_BC_3.png

Typical Snap Configurations

The key configuration of the Snap lies in how the values are passed. The values can be passed:

Without Expression:

Values are passed directly into the Snap:

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > relDelObject1.png

With Expression:
- Using pipeline parameters:

Values are passed as pipeline parameters:

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > Reltio_Delete_Object_TC_2.png

Advanced Use Case

The following describes a pipeline, with a broader business logic involving multiple ETL transformations, that shows how typically in an enterprise environment, the Reltio functionality is used. The pipeline download is available in the Downloads section.

This pipeline retrieves the data from the Oracle Database and loads it into the Reltio instance.

SnapLogic Documentation > Reltio Delete (Object) > ReltioAdvcase.png

The key ETL transformations:

Extract: The Oracle Select Snap retrieves the data from the Oracle database.

Transform: The Head and the Mapper Snaps map the specific data to be moved into the Reltio instance.

Load: The Reltio Create Snap creates the entities from the documents received from the upstream.

The pipeline further uses the Reltio Merge, Unmerge and Delete Snaps to perform the respective functions while transforming ( JSON Splitter, Mapper, and Head Snaps) the data to serve various business purposes.
