Configuring Snowflake Accounts
In this article
In this section
Overview
You must create Snowflake accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your pipelines. You can configure your Snowflake accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the Manager.
The Snowflake Snap Pack is now bundled with the default Snowflake JDBC JAR v3.14.
As of November 1, 2023, Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud must use Snowflake JDBC JARs v3.13.25 or higher. If you are using the default drivers bundled with Snowflake or ELT Snaps, your pipelines are not affected. If your Snowflake instances hosted on Google Cloud use older JARs, you must update the client drivers. Learn more.

Configuring Snowflake Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer
Drag a Snowflake Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.
Selecting an existing account
SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:
Click the icon to view the accounts to which you have access and select the account that you want to use.
Click to save the Snap settings.
Creating an account
Click Add Account in the Account Reference dialog.
Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the account type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog associated with the account type appears.
Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide information associated with each account type, refer to Snowflake Azure Database Account, Snowflake Google Storage Database Account, Snowflake S3 Database Account, Snowflake S3 Dynamic Account, Snowflake Azure OAuth2 Account, Snowflake Google Storage OAuth2 Account, and Snowflake S3 OAuth2 Account
Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.
Click Apply to complete configuring the Snowflake account.
Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.
Configuring Snowflake Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager
Use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.
Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.
In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click > Account > Snowflake, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.
Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section.
Account Encryption
Standard Encryption | If you are using Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are followed. | |

Enhanced Encryption | If you have the Enhanced Account Encryption feature, the following describes which fields are encrypted for each sensitivity level selected per each account. Account

Using Pipeline Parameters in Account Configuration
You can use Pipeline parameters when configuring dynamic Snowflake accounts. See Pipeline Parameters in Pipeline Properties for more information.
Example
Define the following two Pipeline parameters in the Pipeline with which you want to associate the new account:
User_name
Pass_word
You will use these values in the Dynamic account.
In the Snowflake pipeline, create a Snowflake Dynamic Account
Set the expression toggle on for both Username and Password
Set Username to _user_name and Password to _password
Click Apply and fill the Snap Settings for the desired function.
Apply the changes. Your dynamic account is now configured; and your username and password details should change as you update them in your Pipeline parameters.
