Reltio Generic Execute

In this article

Overview

The Reltio Generic Execute Snap allows you to perform Read, Write, Update and Delete operations upon objects in the specified Reltio tenant by executing REST APIs (GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE). The API key that you specify in the Account settings determines the API calls that you can make. 

Prerequisites

Reltio account with a valid Tenant ID so that Tenant URL can be formed/API for Account settings. Also, the Reltio account must have appropriate read and write access to create objects in the Tenant.

The format to be followed:

  • For performing an operation on all objects of an object type: https://www.reltio.com/tenant_id/object_type
  • For performing an operation on specific object in an object type: https://www.reltio.com/tenant_id/object_type/object_id
  • For performing an operation on crosswalks related to an object: https://www.reltio.com/tenant_id/object_type/entity_id/crosswalks

Specify the HTTP body of the request. Relevant to post request.

You can provide this value dynamically as a Pipeline parameter and upstream parameter or directly in the Snap.

Default Value: [None] 

Query parameters

Use this field set to define query parameters and their values. The query parameters are attached to the URL using the HTTP query parameter syntax, separated by & and added as 'key=value'.

You can provide the parameters dynamically as Pipeline parameters or directly in the Snap, but not as upstream values.

Query parameterString

Default Value: [None]
Example: type

Query parameter valueString

Specify the value for the specified query parameter.

Default Value: [None]
Example: reltio

Default Value: Deselected


Empty Responses as Separate DocumentsCheckbox

Select this checkbox to write all responses into separate output documents in the same order as they appear in the request body.

Deselect this checkbox to group all empty responses into one output document.

When you fetch multiple entities with POST {TenantURL}/entities/_byUris, the non-existing entities result in empty-string responses.

Default Value: Deselected

Retry limitInteger

Specify the maximum number of attempts to get the response. 
Minimum value: 1
Maximum value: 10

Default Value: 5

Snap Execution

Dropdown list

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.

Troubleshooting

Error

Reason

Resolution

When you configure the Reltio OAuth2 Account for the Reltio Generic Execute Snap, it fails due to invalid input.

errorCode: 543

The user does not have a valid email ID to export data.

To resolve this issue, specify an email parameter in the Query parameters and retry the execution. The pipeline should run successfully.

Examples


GET

The Pipelines below demonstrates how the Reltio Generic Execute Snap can be used to read Reltio objects and Crosswalks. Based on the Snap's configuration you can either read one or all objects of a type. All four pipelines are included in one file and can be downloaded from the Downloads section below.

 Read by object type

This pipeline shows how all entities can be read from the specified tenant URL and the data sent downstream for further processing. The pipeline is as shown below:

The Reltio Generic Execute Snap is configured as shown below: 

 

An output preview of of the Snap's execution is as shown below, it lists details of all the entities in the tenant:

 Read by object ID

To retrieve details of a specific entity, the Service URL property will have to be configured to include the entity ID in question. The pipeline is as shown below:

The Reltio Generic Execute Snap is configured as shown in the screenshot below, the configuration is the same as that in the above example with the only difference being that the Service URL includes the entity ID.

An output preview of of the Snap's execution is as shown below, it lists details of the specified entity:

 Read by object ID using Pipeline Parameters

This pipeline demonstrates the Reltio Generic Execute Snap accepting Pipeline Parameters:

 

The Pipeline Parameter is configured as shown below:

The Reltio Generic Execute Snap is configured as shown below, the value for the Service URL property is passed as a Pipeline Parameter:

 

An output preview of of the Snap's execution is as shown below, it lists details of the specified entity:

 Read crosswalks

The same Pipeline shown in the example above can be modified to show crosswalk data for a specified entity. This is demonstrated in the Pipeline below:

The Reltio Generic Execute Snap is configured as shown in the screenshot below:

An output preview of of the Snap's execution is as shown below, it lists details of the crosswalks related to the specified entity:
