Field Name

Field Dependency

Description

Label*

None.

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.

Default Value: Binary Copy
Example: Copy Binary Data

Snap Execution

None.

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: Validate & Execute
Example: Execute only

Snap Pack History

Release	Snap Pack Version	Date	Type	Updates

Release	Snap Pack Version	Date	Type	Updates
August 2024	main27765	21 Aug 2024	Stable	When the Router Snap was the first Snap in a triggered task, the documents were not processed. Previously, the response contained a `200 status code` but was empty. Now, it processes one document and provides non-empty output. Behavior change: Previously, the Router Snap generated no output without an input document. Now, the Snap generates an empty document when no input document is provided.
November 2023	main23721	Nov 8, 2023	Stable	Updated and certified against the current SnapLogic Platform release.
August 2023	main22460	Aug 16, 2023	Stable	Updated and certified against the current SnapLogic Platform release.

4.27	main12833	Nov 13, 2021	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.26	main11181	Aug 14, 2021	Stable	Added Binary Copy Snap to copy a binary stream to the Snap’s output views. You can use this Snap to send the same information to multiple endpoints.
4.25	main9554	May 8, 2021	Stable	Enhanced the HTTP Router Snap to support Ultra Pipelines.
4.24	main8556	--	Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.23	main7430		Stable	Introduces a new Snap, HTTP Router Snap, that enables API developers to route multiple HTTP requests appropriately based on the request method (GET, PUT, PATCH, etc.) when executing Pipelines as Triggered Tasks. Fixed the Head Snap issue by closing the output view after writing the last output document so that downstream snaps can be completed, even while the Head Snap continues to consume any available input.
4.22 Patch	422patches6648		Latest	Enhances the Data Validator Snap by making the Constraint value field as optional under the Constraints.
4.22	main6403		Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.21 Patch	Patch flow8855		Latest	Fixes the Binary Router Snap's failure in Ultra Pipelines by preventing a deep-copy (performing a copy of the original objects recursively) of binary data headers.
4.21	snapsmrc542		Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.20	snapsmrc535		Stable	Adds a new Snap, Gate, which enables you to consolidate multiple input streams into a single output document where each input stream is displayed as a label containing the list of records received by that input view. The Pipeline Execute Snap now provides the following capabilities: Specify the Snaplex on which to run child Pipelines. You can now select the Snaplex on which to run the child Pipelines through the Execute On and Snaplex Path fields. The default option is executing the child Pipeline on the same Snaplex node as the Parent, but you can also specify a different Snaplex through the drop-down list, which includes the option to enter a Snaplex name manually. Configure retry logic for child Pipeline executions. You can now configure retry logic for child Pipeline executions through the Number of Retries, Retry Interval, and Timeout fields.
4.19	snaprsmrc528		Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.18 Patch	Patch flow7743		Stable	Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.18	snapsmrc523		Stable	Added a property Validate full JSON path to the Data Validator Snap to fix an issue wherein a field validation failure against a constraint does not produce an error.
4.17 Patch	Patch flow7637		Latest	Fixed an issue with the Data Validator Snap wherein the output fails to report all but one of the violations when multiple constraints of the Required type exist.
4.17 Patch	Patch ALL7402		Latest	Pushed automatic rebuild of the latest version of each Snap Pack to SnapLogic UAT and Elastic servers.
4.17	snapsmrc515		Stable	Added the Snap Execution field to all Standard-mode Snaps. In some Snaps, this field replaces the existing Execute during the preview check box.
4.16	snapsmrc508		Stable	Pipeline Execute Snap: Added the capability to select either document (previously supported) or binary data (new) for your input and output Views.
4.15 Patch	Patch flow6263		Latest	The error messages were improved to include the source path of the constraint for data validation failures.
4.15	snapsmrc500		Stable	No updates made. Automatic rebuild with a platform release.

4.12 Patch	Patch flow4895		Latest	Fixed an issue in the Data Validator Snap that made multiple copies of lineage on the error path.
4.12	snapsmrc480		Stable	Resolved an issue with the Union Snap that caused excessive CPU utilization.
4.11 Patch	Patch flow4461		Latest	Fixed an issue with the Pipeline Execute Snap that could cause the parent pipeline to freeze when the child pipeline fails.
4.11 Patch	Patch flow4292		Latest	Resolved an issue with the Union Snap in Ultra Mode that spikes the CPU utilization to ~30% during startup of 120 instances.
4.11	snapsmrc465		Stable	No updates made. Automatic rebuild with a platform release.
4.10	snapsmrc414		Stable	No updates made. Automatic rebuild with a platform release.
4.9.0 Patch	Patch flow3320		Latest	Data Validator Snap - fixed Type constraint feature.
4.9.0 Patch	Patch flow3094		Latest	Addressed an issue in Binary Router where the Snap did not wait until all threads were completed to write data to the output views.
4.9.0	snapsmrc405		Stable	No updates made. Automatic rebuild with a platform release.
4.8.0	snapsmrc398		Stable	Filter: Snap-aware error handling policy enabled for Spark mode. This ensures the error handling specified on the Snap is used.
4.7.0 Patch	Patch flow2598		Latest	Addressed a possible race condition when reusing pipelines with a Pipeline Execute Snap.
4.7.0 Patch	Patch flow2297		Latest	Fixed an issue with Ultra pipeline when invoking, using Pipeline Execute, a child pipeline that contains a non-Ultra compatible Snap.
4.7.0	snapsmrc382		Stable	Recommendation: The Pipeline Execute Snap will eventually replace ForEach and Task Execute. You should use Pipeline Execute for all new pipelines and update existing pipelines at your earliest convenience. Updated the Pipeline Execute Snap with Execute during preview field.
