The SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog is a searchable collection of Pattern Pipelines. Pattern Pipelines are pre-built and reusable integration Pipelines that can be imported and configured through a step-by-step wizard. In most cases, you need to provide account information for the specified platforms and the data sources or files to use in the process when you import the Pipelines. The Cloud Pattern Catalog comprises two kinds of Pattern Pipelines:
This article explains how to use the SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog and viewing/creating Pattern Pipelines.
By default, SnapLogic enables Cloud Pattern Catalog, and it appears in the Designer > Patterns tab or in the Asset palette.
Standard view:
Asset Pallette:
If you do not see the Pattern Catalog, click the menu next to your profile and select User Settings. Enable the SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog check box, and optionally, the Asset Palette check box.
As an Org admin, you can enable/disable the Cloud Pattern Catalog option from Manager > Settings > Cloud Pattern Catalog. The selected setting applies to all users in your Org. |
The SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog enables you to search, preview, and import Pattern Pipelines that are provided by SnapLogic. You can also use them in your existing Pipelines by copying the Snaps in the newly-created Pipeline into an existing Pipeline. When you type a keyword in the search box, SnapLogic invokes Iris Integration Assistant, which retrieves all the matching Pattern Pipelines in the SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog and in your Org, displaying them within their respective projects.

To search for a Pattern Pipeline:
Show All: Click to view all Pattern Pipelines in the Project that correlate to the search word.
Mouse over each Pattern Pipeline to view its preview in the Canvas.
Pattern Pipeline previews are available only for Pattern Pipelines in the SnapLogic Cloud Pattern Catalog. Regular Pattern Pipelines do not have previews. |
To create a pattern project, you need Full Access permission to the project space. Contact the SnapLogic Org Admin or the owner of a project space to get access. |
To create a pattern project:
To share the Pipeline patterns in this folder, assign permissions to users or groups. All pipelines you add to this project automatically appear under the Patterns Catalog within the project space in which they are created.
These permission levels are not applicable to Org Admins. |
There are five access levels for any SnapLogic project for users. Pattern projects also follow these access-level requirements:
Permission Level | View Pipelines | Edit Project | Execute Pipelines | Modify Pipelines | Delete Pipelines |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Read Only | ✓ | ||||
Read & Write | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ||
Read & Execute | ✓ | ✓ | |||
Full Access | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Owner | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
You can add pipelines to your pattern projects or others where you have Full Access permission. You can add pipelines by:
Before importing the Pipeline, it must be exported as a .slp
file.
The behavior associated with viewing and editing Pattern Pipelines varies depending on your access to the Pipelines. If you click on a Pattern Pipeline to which you only have Read access, SnapLogic displays the New Pipeline dialog, which you can use to import the Pipeline into your Project. See SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform Community for examples of Pattern Pipelines that you can use to build your Pipelines.
