Error

Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can manage the errors that the Snap might encounter when 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 if 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.

Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

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 complete execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only: Performs complete execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Troubleshooting

Resolution

Error

Reason

Resolution

Missing property value

The snap settings are not correct.

You may see this error because you did not provide a mandatory value.

Check to ensure that all mandatory values are provided and valid.

Invalid Snap configuration

Target Dataset Name is null or missing.

This typically means that you did not specify the dataset to which the Snap must read the file or that the dataset name specified does not exist in Adobe Enterprise Platform.

Ensure that the property Dataset Name has a valid dataset name. Use the Suggestion button next to the Dataset Name field to select a valid dataset.

Unable to load the private key for the given alias

File not found on <your SnapLogic instance> at <account location>

The error appears when the account does not have valid values. Ensure that the Keystore path, Keystore passphrase, private key alias, and private key passphrase are correct. Also, you must upload the Keystore in the Keystore Path that you specify.

Unable to obtain an access token

The message appears when the endpoint account details are incorrect.

Check your Organization IDTechnical Account IDClient ID, and Client Secret Key details, and try again.
