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 while running the Pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are:

  • Stop Pipeline Execution: Stops the current pipeline execution when the Snap encounters an error.

  • Discard Error Data and Continue: Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the rest of the 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.

An LDAP entry is a collection of information about an entity. Each entry consists of three components: Distinguished Name (DN), collection of attributes, and a collection of object classes.

String/Expression

Specify the character or string to use as a delimiter to split the value of an attribute into multiple values.


Attributes



Use this field set to define the attributs for the entry.

  • Attributes hold the data for an entry. Each attribute has an attribute type, zero or more attribute options, and a set of values that comprise the actual data.

  • Attribute types are schema elements that specify how attributes must be treated by LDAP clients and servers.

Attribute name*

Default Value: N/A
Exampledepartment

String/Expression/Suggestion

Specify the name of the attribute to be attached with this entry.


Attribute value*

Default Value: N/A
Exampleengineering

String/Expression

Snap execution


Default Value: Execute only
Example: Validate & Execute

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.
