Parameters¶

name: Specifies the identifier of the application object to describe.

Output¶

The command displays properties of an application object in the following columns:

Column	Description
`property`	The name of the property of the application object. This column can include the properties listed in the following table.
`value`	The value assigned to the property of the application object.

The property column can include the following properties of an application object:

Property	Description
`name`	The name of the application object.
`source_organization`	The name of the organization of the account containing the application package used to create the application object.
`source_account`	The account of the application package used to create the application object.
`source_type`	The source used to create the application. Valid values are `APP_PACKAGE` and `LISTING`.
`source`	The name of the application package or listing used to create the application object.
`version`	The version identifier of the application object.
`version_label`	The version label of the application object. This label is visible to consumer when they install a Snowflake Native App.
`patch`	The patch number of the application object.
`created_on`	The timestamp when the application object was created.
`last_upgraded_on`	The timestamp of the last upgrade of the application object.
`share_events_with_provider`	Indicates whether logging and event sharing is enabled for the application object.
`log_level`	The log level set for the application object.
`trace_level`	The trace level set for the application object.
`debug_mode`	Indicates whether the application was created using debug mode.
`upgrade_state`	The current state of the background installation or upgrade of the application object. Valid values are: `INSTALLING`: The application object is in the process of being created. `INSTALL_FAILED`: The creation of the application object failed. The application object remains in the `INSTALL_FAILED` state until it is dropped. The reason for the failure is listed in the `UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON` column, if present. `COMPLETE`: The setup script successfully completed and the application object was created or upgraded. `QUEUED`: The application object is queued for upgrade. `UPGRADING`: The application object is in the process of being upgraded. `FAILED`: All upgrade attempts failed. The reason for the failure is listed in the `UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON` column, if present. The instance remains in the `FAILED` state until a release directive is updated to point to a different version than the one that the upgrade was targeting, as defined in the `TARGET_UPGRADE_VERSION` column. `QUEUED_RETRY`: The instance failed one or more upgrade attempts. The reason for the failure is indicated in `UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON`: The instance is queued to perform another upgrade attempt. `DISABLED`: The application object and its upgrades were disabled. In this state the instance will be inaccessible for consumers, it will not be considered for upgrades and will not block application package version drop. The reason for the failure is listed in the `UPGRADE_FAILURE_REASON` column, if present.
`upgrade_target_version`	The version identifier to which the application object is being upgraded.
`upgrade_target_patch`	The patch to which the application object is being upgraded.
`upgrade_attempt`	Indicates whether an upgrade was attempted for the application object.
`upgrade_task_id`	The internal task identifier for the upgrade attempt.
`upgrade_started_on`	The timestamp when the upgrade was initiated.
`upgrade_attempted_on`	The timestamp when the application object was last upgraded.
`upgrade_failure_reason`	The reason the upgrade failed, if applicable.
`previous_version`	The identifier of the previous version of the application object.
`previous_patch`	The number of the previous patch of the installed application object.
`previous_version_state`	The state of the previous version of the application object.
`upgrade_failure_type`	The reason for an upgrade failure. Possible values are: `VERSION_SETUP`: indicates that an error occurred when running the setup script for the app. This can occur if the setup script contains a syntax error, is empty, etc. When this error occurs, an email notification is sent to the provider. `INTERNAL`: indicates an internal Snowflake error, for example, if a required object does not respond or cannot be found.

Usage notes¶

To post-process the output of this command, you can use the RESULT_SCAN function, which treats the output as a table that can be queried.
