Remote Python Script

Overview

The Remote Python Script Snap is a Transform type Snap that enables you to execute a Python script on a Remote Python Executor (RPE). The RPE can be installed on the same node as the JCC or elsewhere. The location of the RPE is specified in the account.

Snap views


View	Description	Examples of upstream and downstream Snaps
Input	This Snap has at most two document input views.	Mapper
Output	This Snap has at least one and at most two document output views.	File Reader
Error	Error handling is a generic way to handle errors without losing data or failing the Snap execution. You can handle the errors that the Snap might encounter when running the pipeline by choosing one of the following options from the When errors occur list under the Views tab. The available options are: Stop Pipeline Execution Stops the current pipeline execution when an error occurs. Discard Error Data and Continue Ignores the error, discards that record, and continues with the remaining records. Route Error Data to Error View Routes the error data to an error view without stopping the Snap execution. Learn more about Error handling in Pipelines.

Field / field set	Type	Description
Label	String	Required. Specify a unique name for the Snap. Modify this to be more appropriate, especially if more than one of the same Snaps is in the pipeline. Default value: Remote Python Script Example: Remote Python Script
Edit Script	Button	Required. The Python script to be executed. Click Edit Script to open the script editor. The editor contains a default Python script, edit it as required or supply another script through the second input view. The default script writes the input documents to the $original field in the output.
Snap execution	Dropdown list	Select one of the three modes in which the Snap executes. Available options are: Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during pipeline runtime. Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during pipeline execution without generating preview data. Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.
