Snowpark Migration Accelerator: Sharing the Output with Snowflake¶

The Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA) is a standalone tool created by Snowflake. While it operates independently from the main Snowflake Service, it gathers basic usage statistics about how the tool is used. Rest assured, SMA does not collect or transmit any details about your source code.

Sharing a Report¶

To share your locally generated code or reports with the SMA team (for troubleshooting, product improvement, or detailed analysis), you can use these methods:

  • In the tool - Use the Report an Issue feature to notify the SMA support team. You can select specific information to share, attach files, and provide a description of your issue or inquiry.

  • Explicitly (by email) - Send an email directly with your files and information. This is the most straightforward method.

Before sharing any report, you must complete some initial steps. Let’s demonstrate this process using the PandasUsagesInventory.csv report as an example.

  1. Run the SMA Assessment or Conversion - If you need help with code conversion or want to analyze your code, visit the getting started guide to learn how to set up and use the Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA).

  2. Locate Your Files - Find the files you want to share. These are typically in the Reports directory for assessment results, or in the Output directory for converted code.

Finding a specific report

  1. Select the file(s) you want to share - For multiple files, we recommend creating a zip file instead of sharing individual files separately.

  2. Share the file(s) - You can share files in two ways:

    1. Using the tool: Access the Report an Issue option from the help menu. Add a brief description explaining the shared content and attach your file(s).

    2. Via Email: Send your file(s) to sma-info@snowflake.com along with an explanation of why you’re sharing them.

And that’s all there is to it - it’s as straightforward as browsing through folders on your computer.
