Snowpark Migration Accelerator: Configuration and Settings¶
Setting up a new project with the Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA) is a simple process. This page explains all available settings, updates, and customization options within the application.
Updating the Application¶
The Snowpark Migration Accelerator (SMA) automatically checks for new versions when you start the program. If a newer version is available, you’ll see a notification message in the upper-right corner of your screen.
If you select “Update Now,” the application will immediately download and install the latest version.
After the download completes, click “Close and Install” to update the application.
After the application restarts, you can verify the current version number in the top-right corner of the window.
Check for Updates¶
To check for a new version of the application, click the “Check for Updates” option in the menu.
If your application is up to date, you will see a notification in the top right corner confirming this status.
If your application is not running the latest version, you will be prompted to update it.
Conversion Settings¶
Before starting a conversion, you can change the conversion settings from the Conversion Settings page. On this page, choose one of the following options:
Customize settings: Opens the Conversion settings dialog so you can adjust advanced conversion options.
Default Settings: Uses the default conversion settings and proceeds with the conversion workflow.
When you open Customize settings, the dialog organizes settings by category (for example, Pandas, DBX, and Checkpoints):
For example, under Pandas, you can enable Convert Pandas API to Snowpark API to automatically convert supported Pandas API usage to the Snowpark Pandas API during conversion.
