Snapshot process in interactive flowcharts

The Snapshot process in interactive flowcharts fills the same purpose of Snapshot processes in batch flowcharts to capture a list of IDs and associated data, and export them to a table. The interactive flowchart Snapshot process contains a subset of the batch flowchart Snapshot process. You can save to a table only. However, you also cannot order or skip duplicate entries in the table because interactive flowcharts handle only one record at a time, these features are not necessary.

Snapshot and data formats

When saving to an existing table from the Snapshot process, Unica Interact saves data as described in the following table.

From to Text (String) to Number (Double) to Date (Date)
Text (String) Original Value Double

SimpleDateFormat as defined in

defaultDateFormat configuration property

Number (Double) String Original Value Throws exception
Date (Date)

SimpleDateFormat as defined in

defaultDateFormat configuration property

Throws Exception

Original Value

When writing to a table that does not already exist, the Unica Interact runtime environment dynamically creates a table by using default data types. You can override these default data types by creating a table of alternate data types. For more information, see the Unica Interact Administrator's Guide.
