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.

Field Name		Field Type	Description

Field Name		Field Type	Description
Label* Default Value: Dynamics 365 Business Central Delete Example: Business Central Delete		String	Specify a unique 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.

Entity* Default Value: N/A Example: employees		String/Expression	Specify the OData entity object.
Primary key*	Use this field set to specify the primary key that uniqely identifies the rows.
	Key Default Value: N/A Example: Id	String/Expression	Specify or select the primary key from which you want to delete the record. More than one primary key can exist for an Entity. Ensure that you provide key-value pairs for the primary keys, which are associated with a specific entity. If you do not, the Snap fails. For example, if you have four Primary keys in an entity, then you must pass the value for every field that you want to delete. If you use only one of the primary keys, the Snap fails.
