You can configure Snowflake Data Cloud Connector to read data from the following Snowflake objects:
You can write data to the following Snowflake objects:
When you use Snowflake Data Cloud Connector, you can create a Snowflake Data Cloud connection and use the connection in Data Integration mappings and tasks. When you run a Snowflake Data Cloud mapping or task, the Secure Agent writes data to Snowflake based on the workflow and Snowflake Data Cloud connection configuration. You can create a mapping to read and write to a wide variety of heterogeneous data sources.
You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality. A mapping in advanced mode can run on an advanced cluster hosted on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure environment, or on a self-service cluster.
You can also create a mapping in SQL ELT mode to perform the data transformation entirely within your cloud ecosystem.
Preview Notice: The functionality to read from or write to Apache Iceberg tables is available for preview. Preview functionality is supported for evaluation purposes but is unwarranted and is not supported in production environments or any environment that you plan to push to production. Informatica intends to include the preview functionality in an upcoming release for production use, but might choose not to in accordance with changing market or technical circumstances. Note that if you are working on a preview POD, all data is excluded from SOC 2 compliance coverage. For more information, contact Informatica Global Customer Support.
