Configure a connection to the Snowflake target

Configure a connection that your replications tasks will use to connect to the Snowflake target data warehouse.
    1On the Complete Initial Setup page, click Configure Snowflake Connection.
    The Target Warehouse Connection page opens:
    2 Configure the following Snowflake connection properties, using the values you previously gathered:
    Property
    Description
    Authentication
    Only KeyPair authentication is supported.
    KeyPair authentication uses the private key file and private key file password, along with the existing Snowflake account user name, to connect to Snowflake
    Username
    The user name for connecting to the Snowflake account.
    Account
    The name of the Snowflake account. Do not include underscores.
    For example, assume that the Snowflake URL is:
    https://<123abc>.us-east-2.aws.snowflakecomputing.com/console/login#/
    Then the account name is the first segment in the URL before snowflakecomputing.com, that is, 123abc.us-east-2.aws.
    Warehouse
    The target Snowflake warehouse name.
    Additional JDBC URL Parameters
    Optional. One or more JDBC connection parameters in the following format:
    <param1>=<value>&<param2>=<value>&<param3>=<value>...
    You must specify the database parameter to identify the Snowflake database for the JDBC connection, for example: database=AUSDB.
    Private Key File
    Path to the private key file, including the file name, that the Secure Agent uses to access Snowflake. For example:
    /root/infaagent/myapp/path_to_key_file/rsa_key.p8
    You create the key file in Snowflake.
    Note: The keystore must be FIPS-certified.
    If you have more than one Secure Agent, make sure that the rsa_key.p8 key file is located in the same path on all of the agent machines.
    Private Key File Password
    The password for the private key file.
    3 Test the connection.
    4If the test is successful, click Save and return to the Initial Setup Tasks to complete setup.
