Snap type:

Transform

Description:

The Snap groups input documents by the field values into batches of output documents. Each batch is an output document with a list of input Map data as a value at the location specified by the Target field property. Input documents with the same group-by field values are grouped into the same output document.


The Snap expects the input documents with the same group-by field values to be contiguous and whenever the group-by field values change, the Snap produces a new output document. Therefore, if all input documents with the same group-by field values are expected to be grouped into one output document, the Sort Snap can be used in front of the Group By Fields Snap so that the input document stream are sorted by the group-by field values.


  • Expected upstream Snaps: Any Snap with a document output view
  • Expected downstream Snaps: Any Snap with a document input view
  • Expected input: A document with Map data
  • Expected output: A document with a list of input Map data as a value at the location specified by the Target field
Prerequisites:

All input documents should be of Map data type and contain values specified by the Fields property.

Support and limitations:Does not work in Ultra Pipelines.
Account: 

Accounts are not used with this Snap.

Views:
InputThis Snap has exactly one document input view.
OutputThis Snap has exactly one document output view. The Snap is configured with a second output view to get statistics of the input data
ErrorThis Snap has at most one document error view and produces zero or more documents in the view. The error view contains error, reason, resolution and stack trace.

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.

Fields



Required. The fields to group by.

Example: $OrderNumber

Default value: [None]

Memory Sensitivity

Required. Indicates the Snap's behavior towards memory changes. Choose one of the available options:

  • None: If selected, it groups input documents by the field values into batches of output documents.

  • Dynamic: If selected, groups may be split into multiple parts, depending on memory availability. The group size to scale against each group is determined statistically from the groups already processed (mean group size + one standard deviation)

Default value: [None]

Min. Part Size

Activated when Memory Sensitivity is set to Dynamic.

Enter the minimum part size that you want Snap to split larger groups into multiple parts. 

This limit does not apply to the last part of the multi-part group or a single part of the group that's smaller than the size of the part mentioned here. 

Example: 100

Default value: 10

Target field


Required. Target field name to be used as a key in the output document or a JSON path where a list of input Map data would be located.

Example: batch

Default value: group

Minimum memory (MB)

If the available memory is less than this property value while processing input documents, the Snap stops to fetch the next input document until more memory is available. This feature is disabled if this property value is 0.

Example: 500

Default value: 750

Out-of-memory timeout (minutes)

If the Snap pauses longer than this property value while waiting for more memory available, it throws an exception to prevent the system from running out of memory.


Example: 30

Default value: 20

Snap Execution



Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are:

  • 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.

Default Value: Execute only
Example: Validate & Execute

Examples

 Input and output documents batched by the group name and fields

Input and Output Documents Batched by the Group Name and Fields

In this pipeline, the Group By Fields Snap groups the input documents into a batch of output documents with the same group by the field property.

The JSON Generator Snap passes the values to be batched into groups by fields.


The Sort Snap Sorts the input documents into ascending order, the respective output preview:


The Group By Fields Snap groups the documents by group name and fields.

The output preview from the Group By Fields Snap grouped by the order number and the group fields:


The output preview in the table format:


 Input and output documents by code

Input and Output Documents by Code

Assume an input stream of nine documents as follows:

[
    {
      "OrderNumber": 1,
      "something": "abc"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 1,
      "something": "def"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 1,
      "something": "ghi"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 2,
      "something": "jkl"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 2,
      "something": "mno"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 2,
      "something": "pqr"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 3,
      "something": "stu"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 3,
      "something": "vwx"
    },
    {
      "OrderNumber": 4,
      "something": "yz"
    }
]


 If we set the Fields property to "$OrderNumber" and the Target field property to "$group.items", there will be four output documents as follows:


[
  {
    "groupBy": {
      "OrderNumber": 1
    },
    "group": {
      "items": [
        {
          "OrderNumber": 1,
          "something": "abc"
        },
        {
          "OrderNumber": 1,
          "something": "def"
        },
        {
          "OrderNumber": 1,
          "something": "ghi"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "groupBy": {
      "OrderNumber": 2
    },
    "group": {
      "items": [
        {
          "OrderNumber": 2,
          "something": "jkl"
        },
        {
          "OrderNumber": 2,
          "something": "mno"
        },
        {
          "OrderNumber": 2,
          "something": "pqr"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "groupBy": {
      "OrderNumber": 3
    },
    "group": {
      "items": [
        {
          "OrderNumber": 3,
          "something": "stu"
        },
        {
          "OrderNumber": 3,
          "something": "vwx"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  {
    "groupBy": {
      "OrderNumber": 4
    },
    "group": {
      "items": [
        {
          "OrderNumber": 4,
          "something": "yz"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]

February 2023432patches20062 Stable/LatestFixed the behavior of the JSON Splitter Snap for some use cases where its behavior was not backward compatible with the 4.31 GA version. These cases involved certain uses of either the Include scalar parents feature or the Include Paths feature.
February 2023432patches19974 Stable/Latest

Fixed the "Json Splitter expects a list" error by restoring the JSON Splitter Snap's previous behavior of handling the case where the document element referenced by the JSON Path to Split field is an object instead of a list or array.

Review your pipelines where this error occurred to check your assumptions about the input to the JSON Splitter and whether the value referenced by the JSON Path to Split field will always be a list. If the input is provided by an XML-based or SOAP-based Snap like the Workday or NetSuite Snaps, a result set or child collection that’s an array when there's more than one result or child will be an object when there's only one result or child. In these cases, we recommend using a Mapper Snap and the sl.ensureArray() function to ensure that the value being split by the JSON Splitter is always an array (even for the single element cases).

4.20 Patchtransform8760-Latest
  • Fixes an issue with the CSV Parser Snap wherein the Snap fails when it is configured in the new Form UI if the Contains headers and Validate headers fields are not selected but empty rows exist in the Column names field.

  • Fixes the JSON Formatter Snap to filter the input data based on the value specified in the Content field in the Snap settings when the JSON lines field is also selected. Previously, the Snap was writing the entire input data to the output file.

The JSON Formatter Snap output now includes only those fields from the input file that are specified in the Content field under Settings. 

If your Pipelines use the JSON Formatter Snap with the JSON lines field selected, they may fail to execute correctly if the Content field mentions a specific object or field but the downstream Snap is expecting the entire data. Hence, for backward compatibility, you must review the entries in the Content field based on the desired output, as follows: 

  • Enter $ to include all the fields in the output.
    OR
  • Enter or select the specific fields to restrict the output to. 

The behavior of the Snap when the JSON lines field is not selected is correct and remains unchanged.  

The Example: Filtering Output Data Using the JSON Formatter Snap's Content Setting further illustrates the corrected vs the old behavior.

  • Fixes an issue in the XML Generator Snap due to which the custom XML data in the Edit XML field got ignored when inbound schema and root XML element were also provided, and instead, the output was generated from upstream data. For Pipelines with a standalone XML Generator Snap, a "Premature end of file" error was displayed. 

XML Generator Snap behavior might break existing Pipelines

The XML Generator Snap now gives precedence to any custom XML data that is provided over data coming from upstream Snaps, to generate the output. 

Existing Pipelines using the XML Generator Snap may fail in the following scenarios. Use the resolution provided to update the Snap settings based on the XML data you want to pass to downstream Snaps.

Breaking Scenario

Resolution

Downstream Snaps expect XML output from upstream Snaps, but custom XML data exists in the XML Generator Snap.

  • To use custom XML data, ensure that the Inbound schema and XML root element are specified and custom XML data is entered using the Edit XML option.
  • To use data from upstream Snaps, ensure that the Inbound schema and XML root element fields are blank and no custom XML data exists in the XML editor.


In the XML Generator Snap settings, the XML root element and Inbound schema are specified but no custom XML data is provided. This will generate a validation error. 
In the XML Generator Snap settings, custom XML data is provided and Validate XML checkbox is selected, but XML root element and Inbound schema are not specified. This will generate a validation error.
