Jul 16, 2026: Snowflake Data Clean Rooms updates

Clean Rooms API Version: 16.9

The following new features and enhancements are now available in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms:

  • Improved error handling in COLLABORATION.RUN: Previously, errors that occurred when using a hardcoded source table in template runs were incorrectly classified as replication lag issues. These errors are now correctly identified and reported.
  • Improved validation in register_code_spec: When registering a Python artifact or ML job, the stage must use SNOWFLAKE_SSE encryption. The system now validates this at registration time and returns a clear error message, avoiding failures at runtime.
  • General performance improvements and bug fixes.
  • Updates to private preview features.
