Settings

Label

Required. The 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:

Required. This property enables you to define an entity of the API. This field will be shown dynamically from different users’ accounts from the suggestion dropdown. Users are allowed either to choose an entity from suggestion dropdown or type an entity manually. The entity is shown as [category name] – [entity name] in the dropdown. But it is also allowed to type only [entity name] in this field.

Example: Foundation/Platform (PLT) – User or User

Default value: [None]

Key parameter:

Required. This property enables you to specify the key entities to a specific entity such as userId for the Foundation/Platform (PLT) – User entity.

Example: userId

Default value: [None]

Updating method:

Required. This property enables you to specify if the Replace or Merge updating approach is implemented.

Replace method enables you to replace the existing(matching) data in an entity, so all the property values in this entity either take the values provided in the request body or are reset to their default value if no data is provided in the request.

Merge method enables you to only update the properties provided in the request body and the data not mentioned in the request body will remain as such.

Default value: [Replace]

Refresh metadata:

If selected, the Snap will refresh the cache and show refreshed metadata results including new entities/parameters added or old entities/parameters deleted. This is handy in cases where changes are made to the data set outside of SnapLogic, such as a new data set created, existing data set deleted, and so on. In such cases, enabling this property will refresh the cache and display updated content.Please be aware that after the first run and new metadata has been refreshed, please de-select this checkbox.

Default value: Not selected

Pass through:

This property enables you to "pass through" the data from an incoming document and merge it into the new document being written to the output.

Default value: Not selected

Execute during preview:

This property enables you to execute the Snap during the Save operation so that the output view can produce the preview data.

Default value: Not selected
