Configuring a Snowflake Source

The following are the steps to configure a Snowflake source:

Configure Source & Target

1. In the Configure Source & Target page, enter the following configuration details.

2. Click Save button. Click Next.

Select Tables

You can select the tables for which the metadata crawl is required. You can add more tables later.

1. In the Select Tables step, you can choose to Browse entire source or Filter tables to browse.
2. Filter the tables by Schema Name, Table Name, by entering multiple names separated by comma or by using a "%" as a wildcard.
3. Click Browse Source. The Browse source area appears.

$inline[badge,NOTE,primary] The Browse Source page takes longer to appear as the value of bulk_payload_record_size is set to 6500, by default.

For the tables to appear quickly, scroll down to the Advanced Configurations section, and set the value of bulk_payload_record_size to 100. The value can be changed at admin and source levels.

4. Select the check boxes against the relevant table(s), and click Add Selected Tables.
5. Click Crawl Metadata to proceed. A success message appears.
