Configure AS2 Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag an AS2 Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Select an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. In the Account tab, click the   icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.

  2. Click 

Create an account

  • In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

  • Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog window associated with the account type appears.

  • Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide the information required for each account type, see the following articles:

Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.

  • Click Validate to verify the account if the account type supports validation.

  • Click Apply to complete configuring the AS2 Snap Pack account.

Configure AS2 Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with pipelines.

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click  > Account > AS2, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type appears.

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an Account section.

Avoid updating account credentials while pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.
