Here's a comprehensive guide on how to use the Multipart Writer Snap to create a correct multipart/form-data stream in SnapLogic: --- 📦 Multipart Writer — Overview The Multipart Writer is a Transform-type Snap that merges multiple binary documents into a single MIME multipart stream. It is typically used when you need to POST multiple files or binary data to a REST endpoint.

⚠️ Note: The Multipart Writer does not support Ultra Pipelines.

--- 🔧 Key Configuration Fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | Label | A unique name for the Snap | | Binary Header Properties | Modify the binary output document header using expressions and target JSONPaths | | Group Identifier | Controls how many output documents are generated (one per group change) | | Snap Execution | Default is Execute only | --- 🏗️ How to Build a Multipart Form-Data Pipeline Step 1 — Prepare Binary Input Connect one of the following upstream Snaps to feed binary data into the Multipart Writer: - File Reader — reads files from SLDB or external file systems - Document to Binary — converts document data to binary - XML Formatter — formats XML as binary Step 2 — Configure the Multipart Writer 1. Binary Header Properties (optional): - Use the Expression column to compute values to insert into the header. - Use the Target Path (JSONPath) to specify where the value should be written in the header. - Example target path: $['content-location'] 2. Group Identifier (optional): - Leave blank to produce a single multipart output containing all input documents. - Set to an expression (e.g., $num or $['content-type']) to produce multiple output documents, one per unique group value. - The Snap watches for changes in the identifier value — when it changes, a new output document is started. Step 3 — Send to a REST Endpoint Connect the Multipart Writer output to a downstream Snap such as: - HTTP Client (recommended) — set Entity Type to multipart - REST Post - File Writer (for testing/debugging) --- 📋 Example: JSON Data → Multipart Stream

JSON Generator → Multipart Writer → File Writer / HTTP Client

- The JSON Generator passes structured data to the Multipart Writer. - In the Multipart Writer, set the Group Identifier to $num (or any field) to split output into separate multipart documents per group. --- 📋 Example: File Upload via REST Client

File Reader → Multipart Writer → HTTP Client (POST)

- The File Reader reads binary files. - The Multipart Writer merges them into a multipart stream. - The HTTP Client POSTs the stream to the target endpoint. --- 💡 Tips & Best Practices - Content-Type header: When using the HTTP Client downstream, do not manually set the Content-Type header to multipart/form-data. Let the Snap handle it automatically — manually setting it can cause a 400 - Invalid boundary error. - File paths in SLDB: When referencing files dynamically, prefix paths with sldb:/// (e.g., sldb:///myfile.csv). - Group Identifier behavior: The Snap only detects changes in the identifier value — it does not sort or group by value. Make sure your input is ordered correctly if grouping matters. - Binary input required: The Multipart Writer only accepts binary input views — ensure upstream Snaps output binary data. --- 🔁 Typical Input/Output | | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | Input | Binary | Binary documents to be merged | | Output | Binary | A single MIME multipart stream | | Error | Document | Error documents (0 or more) | --- Let me know if you'd like help building a specific pipeline using the Multipart Writer! 🚀

Error: Received fatal alert: protocol_version This error occurs during account validation and is a TLS/SSL protocol mismatch — your Groundplex's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is attempting to connect to an endpoint using a TLS version that the endpoint no longer supports (or vice versa). --- 🔍 Root Cause The most common cause is that your Groundplex is running a JRE version that has disabled older TLS protocols (TLS 1.0 / 1.1) by default (JRE 11.0.10+), while the target endpoint only supports those older versions. Alternatively, the endpoint may require a newer TLS version that the JRE doesn't support well. --- ✅ Recommended Solutions Option 1: Update the Endpoint (Preferred) Update the target endpoint/service to support TLS 1.2 or later. This is the most secure and recommended approach. --- Option 2: Upgrade Your JRE If you're on an older JRE (prior to 11.0.8), upgrade to a newer version. JRE versions prior to 11.0.8 have known issues connecting to TLS 1.3 endpoints. Refer to the [Configure the JRE Version](https://docs.snaplogic.com/snaplexes/groundplex-install-on-linux.html) guide for steps to upgrade. --- Option 3: Re-enable Older TLS Versions on the Groundplex (Workaround) If updating the endpoint is not possible, you can re-enable TLS 1.0/1.1 support on your Groundplex: 1. Open the Java security configuration file on your JCC node:

   /opt/snaplogic/pkgs/<jre-version>/conf/security/java.security
   

2. Find the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms property and remove TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 from the list. 3. Restart the Snaplex to apply the changes:

bash
   sudo /opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh restart
   

--- 💡 Additional Tips - Make sure this change is applied to all JCC nodes in your Groundplex. - If you're using a Cloudplex, you won't have direct access to the JRE configuration — in that case, the endpoint must be updated to support TLS 1.2+. - If the issue is related to a missing or untrusted certificate, you may also need to import the endpoint's certificate into the Groundplex truststore. --- Could you share more details about which account type you're configuring (e.g., Email, JDBC, REST, etc.) and whether you're using a Groundplex or Cloudplex? That would help narrow down the exact fix for your situation.

It looks like you've shared some batch configuration settings, but there's no Snap currently selected in your pipeline for me to apply these to. To help you configure these settings, please: 1. Open a pipeline in the SnapLogic Designer 2. Click on a Snap that supports batch configuration (e.g., a database writer, Kafka producer, or similar Snap) 3. Come back and ask me to apply the configuration Once a Snap is selected, I can configure it with: | Setting | Value | |---|---| | Batch Size | 1000 | | Batch Timeout | 2000 ms | | Batch Retry Count | 3 | | Batch Retry Delay | 500 ms |

💡 Tip: If you'd like me to generate a new pipeline that includes a Snap with these batch settings, just let me know what the pipeline should do and I'll get started!

💡 Bottom Line BigQuery Bulk Load (Streaming) can work in a continuously running SQS-driven pipeline, but you must carefully tune the batch size and timeout settings to avoid silent stalling. It is not a plug-and-play combination — proactive configuration is required for reliable, continuous operation.

🔁 How to Trigger Pipelines via REST API in SnapLogic SnapLogic provides Triggered Tasks as the primary mechanism to expose pipelines as REST API endpoints. Here's a comprehensive guide: --- 📌 Step 1: Create a Triggered Task 1. Open your pipeline in the SnapLogic Designer 2. Click the Create Task (calendar) icon in the toolbar 3. Select Triggered as the run policy 4. Click Create, then click Show tasks in this project in Manager 5. In Manager, click the task → Details to find your HTTP Endpoint URL --- 📌 Step 2: Supported HTTP Methods Triggered Tasks support the following HTTP methods: | Method | Use Case | |--------|----------| | GET | Retrieve data / trigger with query params | | POST | Send JSON body as input to the pipeline | | PUT | Update operations | | PATCH | Partial updates | | DELETE | Delete operations | | HEAD | Metadata checks | --- 📌 Step 3: Authenticate Your Request You can authenticate using one of the following methods: 🔐 Basic Authentication

bash
curl -u 'user@example.com:mypassword' \
  'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/<org>/jobs/<task-name>'

🔐 Bearer Token (via Header)

bash
curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <your-bearer-token>' \
  'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/<org>/jobs/<task-name>'

🔐 Bearer Token (via Query Parameter)

bash
curl 'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/<org>/jobs/<task-name>?bearer_token=<your-token>'

--- 📌 Step 4: Common CURL Examples ▶️ Trigger a pipeline with no input

bash
curl -u 'user@example.com:mypassword' \
  'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/example/jobs/test-reader'

▶️ Pass pipeline parameters via query string

bash
curl -u 'user@example.com:mypassword' \
  'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/example/jobs/test-hello?Name=John'

▶️ POST a JSON document as pipeline input

bash
curl -u 'user@example.com:mypassword' \
  --data-binary '{ "name": "Bob" }' \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  'https://elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/slsched/feed/example/jobs/test-transformer'

--- 📌 Step 5: Handle Pipeline Input & Output | Scenario | How It Works | |----------|-------------| | Output | Leave one output view unconnected — the response will be a JSON array of documents | | Binary Output | Use a formatter Snap (e.g., CSV/XML Formatter) before the unlinked output view | | Input (POST) | Leave one input view unconnected — the POST body is fed as a document into the pipeline | | Array Input | POST a JSON array — each object is fed as a separate document | --- 💡 Triggered Task vs. Ultra Task | Feature | Triggered Task | Ultra Task | |---------|---------------|------------| | Latency | Higher (new instance per request) | Very low (always-on) | | Best For | Batch / fire-and-forget | Real-time APIs | | Input/Output | Any number of documents | 1-in / 1-out |

🔔 Tip: For fire-and-forget scenarios (e.g., triggering a child pipeline), a Triggered Task via REST is a valid approach. For low-latency APIs, consider an Ultra Task instead.

--- 📌 Bonus: View APIs in Swagger You can export your Triggered/Ultra Tasks as OpenAPI (Swagger) specs: 1. In Manager, browse to your project folder 2. Click the folder → Open API 3. Download in YAML or JSON format (OpenAPI 2.0 or 3.0) --- Would you like help building a pipeline to be exposed as a REST API, or do you need guidance on a specific part of this setup? 🚀

I appreciate your interest in testing pipeline execution!

Permissions Required for the Migrate Functionality in SnapLogic Based on the search results, here is a clear breakdown of the permissions needed to use the migrate functionality in SnapLogic: --- 🔐 Required Permissions To migrate a SnapLogic project from one Environment/Org to another, you need two distinct permissions: | Scope | Required Permission | |---|---| | Source Project | Read access | | Target Environment/Org | Write access | --- 📋 Permission Details SnapLogic projects support the following permission levels, which map to the above requirements: | Permission Level | Read | Write | Execute | |---|---|---|---| | Read Only | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Read & Write | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | Read & Execute | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | | Full Access | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | | Owner | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | So for migration: - On the source project: At minimum Read Only (or higher) permission is sufficient. - On the target Environment/Org: At minimum Read & Write (or higher) permission is required. --- ⚠️ Additional Considerations If you are migrating Accounts or Policies across different Environments/Orgs, there are extra requirements: 1. The source Environment/Org must recognize the destination Environment/Org as a Trusted Environment/Org. 2. The destination Environment/Org must have at least the same security level as the source. --- 👤 Who Can Assign Permissions? - Org Admins can assign permissions to any user or group across any project or project space. - Project Owners can assign permissions to users or groups within their own projects. ---

💡 Tip: If you are an Org Admin, you can also set permissions at the Project Space level and propagate them to all child projects at once, which simplifies permission management across large environments.

Executing a JAR File in SnapLogic Yes, you can execute or leverage JAR files in SnapLogic, though there is no dedicated "Run JAR" snap. Here are the supported approaches: --- ✅ Option 1: Use the Script Snap (Recommended) The Script Snap allows you to write scripts in JavaScript, Python (Jython), or Ruby (JRuby) using the JVM ScriptEngine mechanism. You can: - Import and use Java classes from a JAR file directly within your script. - Place your custom JAR file in the appropriate directory on your Groundplex node (e.g., /opt/snaplogic/ext_jar/). - Reference the JAR in the Jython configuration file (.jython) using the python.path property:

python.path=/opt/snaplogic/ext_jar/your-custom-library.jar

- Then import and invoke the JAR's classes within your script.

⚠️ Note: Importing third-party/custom JAR libraries is only supported on Groundplex nodes, not on Cloudplex.

--- ✅ Option 2: Use a Custom Snap If you want to deeply integrate JAR functionality into SnapLogic as a reusable component, you can develop a Custom Snap that wraps your JAR logic. This requires Java development using the SnapLogic Snap SDK. --- ✅ Option 3: Execute an External Process via Script Snap (Groundplex Only) On a Groundplex, you can use the Script Snap to invoke an external process (e.g., java -jar yourfile.jar) using system-level calls. This is not supported on Cloudplex. --- 🔑 Key Considerations | Factor | Detail | |---|---| | Cloudplex | External process creation is not allowed | | Groundplex | External processes and custom JARs are supported | | JAR placement | Place JARs in /opt/snaplogic/ext_jar/ on each Groundplex node | | Multiple nodes | You must add the JAR to each node in your Groundplex | --- Summary The most practical approach is to use the Script Snap on a Groundplex, place your JAR in the ext_jar directory, and invoke its classes via a Python, JavaScript, or Ruby script. Would you like help building a pipeline that uses the Script Snap to invoke your JAR file?
