Snap Packs

Manage Snap Pack version settings and distribution for pipeline execution in your environment.

The Snap Packs page in Admin Manager lists the Snap Packs available in your environment and gives you control over the version Snaplexes use when running a pipeline. Refer to Introduction to Snap Packs for details on Snap Pack types and versions.

The page has the following controls for managing Snap Pack versions:


Admin Manager Snap Packs screen

The numbered descriptions correspond with the screenshot callouts:

  1. The Usage setting sets the default version that Snaplexes use when you don't set a version override on a specific Snap Pack. Production environments should use Stable, which SnapLogic updates quarterly and only patches for critical fixes between quarterly releases. Development environments should use Latest, which includes all production-approved versions. The dropdown in the Version column marks the default version for each Snap Pack with (default) — for example, main22678 (default).
  2. Use the search box to find a Snap Pack by name or Type — Public, Premium, or Custom.
  3. The Distribution filters the available versions that appear in the Version column between New versions for Snaplexes on the current version and Old versions for Snaplexes on an older version. See Distribution for how this affects the version Snaplexes use at execution time.
  4. Select a version from the Version column to pin a specific version for an individual Snap Pack, and override the Usage setting. An override selected while viewing the New distribution applies only to Snaplexes on the current version. An override selected while viewing the Old distribution applies only to Snaplexes on an older version.
  5. Use Go to page to jump directly to a page of the Snap Pack list.
  6. Use Rows per page to change the number of Snap Packs listed on each page.

You can also click a Snap Pack to view the Snaps it contains:
