Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab:

• Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

• Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records.

• Route Error Data to Error View: Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution.

Label*

Default Value: Compress
Example: Compress

String

Specify a unique name for the Snap.

Compression Scheme*

Default value: GZIP
Example: DEFLATE

Dropdown list

Choose one of the following compression schemes to compress the data:

• BZIP2

• DEFLATE

• GZIP

Snap Execution

Default Value: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Dropdown list

Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:

• 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.
