File exists or not

[munish]

I am designing a pipeline where I need to put a condition.
If (File exists)
then run snap 1
else
run snap 2

I want to achieve this with snaplogic pipeline. please help

Hello @munich

1 way of achieving that scenario is by using Snaplogic List snap and downstream Router snap.
Snaplogic List snap will be configured to list just file assets, and then check if your desired file exists( in the Router snap).

If the problem is doing something else when no data to trigger your downstream snaps (router, etc.) you could look at patterns in some of the “when no data” threads like below:

Performing an Action when there is no data Designing Pipelines

A common integration pattern is to do something when no data is received. For example, we might read a file, parse it, and find that no records meet some filter criteria. As a result, we might send an email, or insert a ticket into a ticket management system like ServiceNOW. However, in SnapLogic, this can be somewhat more difficult than it seems initially because of the streaming architecture. In fact, many snaps will not execute without input documents - rather hard to accomplish when there i…

Basically create some fake data, join it with your actual data (or missing data) from your directory browser, then check if you actually had data or not in the downstream router snap (if/else).

@munish - Use directory browser snap and dis-select "ignore empty result " , then use mapper and check hasOwnProperty() to check “Name” is available or not. If not then snap2 else snap1
