## Graph Snippets
Graph snippets are reusable entities that group operators and connections together, performing a single logical function.
### What Are Graph Snippets?
- Pre-built entities containing a group of operators and connections
- Perform a single logical function as a unit
- Allow adding multiple related operators at once
- Reduce setup time and ensure consistency
### Creating Graph Snippets
**Steps:**
1. Launch SAP Data Intelligence Modeler → Graphs tab
2. Search or create a new graph
3. Select portion of graph (Shift+drag or Ctrl+A for entire graph)
4. Right-click → "Create Snippet"
5. Configure operator properties:
- Mark properties as configurable during import, OR
- Preconfigure with specific values
6. Add descriptions (optional) to parameters
7. Define reusable parameters with "Add Parameter" option
8. Review settings with "Show Parameters"
9. Click "Create"
10. Save with metadata in Save Snippet dialog
**Requirements:**
- ABAP operators require connection and version selection before snippet creation
- Use fully qualified paths when saving
### Importing Graph Snippets
**Steps:**
1. Open SAP Data Intelligence Modeler → Graphs tab
2. Find or create target graph
3. Right-click in editor workspace OR use toolbar icon
4. Select snippet from Import Snippet dialog
5. Configure settings in dialog
6. Complete import
7. Adjust individual operators as needed in configuration panel
### Editing Graph Snippets
After import, snippets become editable components:
- Configure each operator individually
- Modify connections between operators
- Adjust port configurations
- Update parameter values
**Reference**: Repository Objects Reference for individual snippet documentation

## SAP Cloud Applications Integration
SAP Data Intelligence integrates with SAP cloud applications through the Cloud Data Integration API.
### Supported SAP Cloud Applications
| Application | Integration Type |
|-------------|------------------|
| SAP Fieldglass | Cloud Data Integration API |
| SAP Sales Cloud | Cloud Data Integration API |
| SAP Service Cloud | Cloud Data Integration API |
### Cloud Data Integration API
The API adheres to OData V4 specifications and provides two service types:
**1. Administrative Service (One per system)**
- Provides catalog of providers organized by namespaces
- Each provider corresponds to a business object
- Contains related entity sets
**2. Provider Service (One per data provider)**
- Provides access to metadata
- Enables access to entity set data
- Based on provider structure
### Connection Setup
**Connection Type**: `CLOUD_DATA_INTEGRATION`
**Configuration Steps:**
1. Open Connection Management in SAP Data Intelligence
2. Create new connection with type `CLOUD_DATA_INTEGRATION`
3. Configure service endpoint
4. Test connection
### Metadata Explorer Features
- Entity sets function as datasets
- Namespaces and providers map to folder structures
- View and preview entity set metadata
- Browse available data objects
### Cloud Data Integration Operator
**Purpose**: Data ingestion in SAP Data Intelligence Modeler
**Capabilities:**
- Streaming replication scenarios
- Uses Flowagent technology for execution
- Supports incremental data loads
- OData V4 compliant operations
---
## Configuration Types
Configuration types are JSON files that define properties and bind them with data types for operator configurations.
### Purpose
- Define operator configurations
- Specify parameters within operator configuration definitions
- Create reusable type definitions
- Establish UI behavior and validation rules
### Creating Configuration Types
**Steps:**
1. Access Configuration Types tab in navigation pane
2. Click plus icon to add new type
3. Add optional description
4. Add properties with:
- Name
- Display name
- Data type
### Supported Data Types
| Type | Configuration |
|------|---------------|
| String | Format specifications, value helpers |
| Number | Numeric constraints |
| Boolean | True/false values |
| Integer | Whole number constraints |
| Object | Drill down into schema definitions |
| Array | Specify item types |
| Custom Type | Reference other configuration types |
### Value Helpers
Two types of value helpers available:
1. **Pre-defined Lists**: Static list of options
2. **REST API Sources**: Dynamic values from API calls
### Property Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| Required | Mandates user input |
| ReadOnly | Prevents edits |
| Visible | Always shown |
| Hidden | Never shown |
| Conditional | Shown based on conditions |
### Naming Convention
Save with fully qualified paths:
```
com.sap.others.<typename>
```
---
## Local Data Types
Local data types are bound to a specific graph and visible only within that graph.
### Characteristics
- Supplement global data types
- Visible only in the containing graph
- Support Scalar types (exclusive to local data types)
- Enable pipeline-specific requirements
### Type Categories
| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| Structure | Complex type with properties |
| Table | Collection type with row structure |
| Scalar | Simple type from template (LOCAL ONLY) |
### Creating Local Data Types
**Steps:**
1. Open pipeline in Modeler
2. Select Show Configuration (no operators selected)
3. Expand Data Types section
4. Click plus icon → Create Data Type dialog
5. Enter name (start with letter, use letters/numbers/underscores)
6. Select type category
7. For Structure/Table: Add properties and description
8. For Scalar: Select template from options
9. Save
### Scalar Type Templates
Scalar types are exclusive to local data types. Select from provided templates based on your data requirements.

## Operator Metrics
Operator metrics provide runtime performance data for Structured Data Operators and Connectivity operators.
### Consumer Operator Metrics
| Metric | Unit | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Optimized | Boolean | Shows if operator is combined with others from same engine |
| Row Count | rows | Quantity of rows retrieved from source |
| Column Count | columns | Quantity of columns retrieved from source |
| Partition Count | partitions | Number of partitions when partitioning enabled |
**Note**: When Optimized is activated, runtime metrics aren't shown.
### Producer Operator Metrics
| Metric | Unit | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Row Count | rows | Quantity of rows sent to target |
| Current row rate | rows/s | Throughput velocity when writing |
| Batch count | batches | Number of batches when batch writing configured |
| Elapsed execution time | seconds | Duration of graph processing |
### Debug Mode Metrics
| Metric | Unit | Description |
|--------|------|-------------|
| Job CPU usage | % | Execution engine processor consumption |
| Job memory usage | KB | Execution engine memory consumption |
| Operator CPU usage | % | Operator subengine processor consumption |
| Memory usage | KB | Operator subengine memory consumption |
**Access**: Metrics are automatically published upon graph execution.
