Snap Settings

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description	Default Value	Example
Label	String	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.	N/A	SAP S/4HANA Delete
API object	String	Required. Select the API that you want to access in SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance. This drop-down list contains APIs available for the S/4HANA account configured in the Snap, each with a short description.	N/A	ZCRM_BUPA_ODATA_0001 (Odata Services for Business Partner)
Entity	String	Required. Select a business object (the Entity or Endpoint) for the API object chosen above.	N/A	AccountCollection
Subentity	String/Expression/Suggestion	Specify or select a subentity corresponding to the entity chosen above.	N/A	MainContact
Customized header	Use this field set to add customized HTTP request headers for implementing specific HTTP requests other than the ones listed in the Using Customized Headers section (SAP S/4HANA Read Snap). Only one customized header can be specified in each row. Click to add a new row in this table and define the values accordingly. This field set comprises the following fields: Field name Field value
Field name	String	The field name of the customized HTTP request header.	N/A	If-Match
Field value	String	The field value for the above field in the customized HTTP request header.	N/A	W/"'82F636DC08F14D22260CE67E505C231D0D2ACD95'"
Key parameter	Required. This field set enables you to specify the key parameters for a specific entity. Providing values for all key parameters in the drop-down list enables SAP S/4HANA to identify a unique record. Key parameters are NOT the same as filters which can return multiple records. To use a filter like normal select, use the parameters at the Filter records section instead. Click to add a new row in this table and define the values accordingly. Only one key parameter can be specified in each row. This field set comprises the following fields: Field name Field value
Field name	String	Specify the reference parameter.	N/A	accountID
Field value	String	Specify the value for the reference parameter in this field. The data type—String, Integer, Boolean or any other—depends on the Field name you specified for the parameter.	N/A	TEST_001
Disable datatype conversion	Checkbox/Expression	Select the checkbox to disable the datatype conversion for values of key parameters and filters.	Deselected	Selected
Connection details	Use this section of Snap Settings to specify the connectivity parameters: timeout, retry count and retry interval. This field set comprises the following fields: TimeOut Maximum request attempts RetryInterval
TimeOut	Integer	Required. Enter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must try to establish connection with SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance. If the connection cannot be established within this duration, the Snap times out, writes the event to the log, and waits until the specified RetryInterval before attempting to reconnect.	300	120
Maximum request attempts	Integer	Required. Specify an integer value to set the maximum number of reconnection attempts that the Snap must perform, in case of connection failure or timeout.	0	5
RetryInterval	Integer	Required. Enter, in seconds, the duration for which the Snap must wait between two reconnection attempts, until the number of retries is reached.	0	10
Snap Execution	String	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.	Execute only	Validate & Execute

Troubleshooting

Error	Reason	Resolution
You have an empty value in the Field name field for the Key parameter.	The Field name field must not be empty for the Key parameter.	Enter a valid Field name for the Key parameter.
You have an empty field in the Field name/value field for the Customized header.	The Field name/value field must not be empty for the Customized header.	Enter a valid Field name/value for the Customized header.
API object does not exist.	Allowed API object format is <API ID>(Description).	Locate and select an API Object from the drop-down list.

Additional information

Here is some information to assist you while using the SAP S/4HANA Delete Snap.

Snap General Behavior

The SAP S/4HANA Delete Snap supports the following:

DELETE operation to delete data from SAP S/4HANA On-Premise instance.
Customized HTTP Header. For more information, see Using Customized Headers (SAP S/4HANA Read Snap).
Display of only the delete-compatible input parameter set from the upstream input Snap.
Dynamic loading of API metadata with a Parent-child dependency structure. This means that you can:
- Select an API object from the API object field to view only entities that are related to the API object and support delete queries (delete operations).
- And then, select an entity to view values for only delete-compatible parameters related to this entity in Key parameter field.

Using Customized Headers

See Using Customized Headers (in SAP S/4HANA Read Snap).
