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 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.

Examples

Create a List item in SAP Concur

This example assumes that you have configured and authorized a valid Concur Account. For more information, refer to the SAP Concur OAuth2 account.

The following pipeline demonstrates how to use the SAP Concur Write Snap to create a new List item via the LisIitems API endpoint in SAP Concur.

ex-sap-concur-write-pipeline-overview.png

Configure the JSON Generator Snap to pass the JSON input of a new Listitem.

Next, configure the Mapper Snap to map the data from the JSON Generator Snap to the SAP Concur Write snap as the input for the snap. The input schema is provided by SAP Concur Write Snap.

Configure the SAP Concur Write Snap as shown below:

A successful validation of the Snap displays the output with the query results. Configure the JSON Formatter, and the File Writer Snaps downstream of the SAP Concur Write Snap to format and record data in a new file.

Downloads

  1. Download and import the Pipeline into SnapLogic.

  2. Configure Snap accounts, as applicable.

  3. Provide Pipeline parameters, as applicable.
