      Setup Instructions for Snowflake

      Setting up access to your Snowflake data warehouse is not very complicated and just takes a couple of simple steps. 

      Follow the steps below to set it up for yourself, if you are stuck somewhere, feel free to contact out support team at support@sarasanalytics.com. 

      • First make sure that you meet all the Prerequisites.
      • Then go to the destination and set up the resources.  
      • Then come to Daton and set up the destination.

      Prerequisites

      Before you get started, ensure you have the following:
      • Active Daton and Snowflake Account

      Set up on Snowflake

      Task 1: Whitelisting Daton IPs in Snowflake

      Although this step is optional, we highly recommend that you whitelist our IPs to allow Daton to access your Snowflake account securely, you’ll need to create a new network policy or add Daton IP addresses to a network policy that you’ve whitelisted. You can do this using the management console or using SQL.

      [Old UI]

      • From the Snowflake management console, click Accounts and then Policies
        • Make sure you have ACCOUNTADMIN or SECURITYADMIN privileges
      • Click Create a New Network Policy
      • Name the policy and then enter the following IP addresses: 
        • 35.238.200.205/32
      • Click Finish
      Creating a network policy in Daton through Snowflake Classic Console

      [New UI]

      • 1From the Snowflake management console, click Accounts and then Security
        • Make sure you have ACCOUNTADMIN or SECURITYADMIN privileges
      • Click + Network Policy
      • Name the policy and then enter the following IP addresses: 
        • 35.238.200.205/32
      • Click Create Network policy
      Creating a network policy in Daton through Snowflake New UI

      You can also whitelist Daton IP addresses using SQL

      Use the following SQL:

      CREATE NETWORK POLICY DATON_WHITELIST 
            ALLOWED_IP_LIST= ('35.238.200.205/32') 
            BLOCKED_IP_LIST= () 
            COMMENT        = ‘DATON_IP_ADDRESSES'
            ;

      Task 2: Create a new database to load the data into Snowflake (Optional)

      You can skip this step if you already have your database set up. 

      Create a new database
      Give the database a meaningful name

      Task 3:  Create a new Schema in the Database (Optional)

      Create a new schema for Daton to load data and select the Managed access option

      Task 4: Issues grants to enable Daton to connect to Snowflake

      Please issue the following grants to the chosen Role:

      GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE <warehouse_name> TO <RoleName>;
      GRANT CREATE SCHEMA, MONITOR, USAGE ON DATABASE <DBName> TO <RoleName>;
      GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> TO <RoleName>;
      GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;
      GRANT CREATE STAGE ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;
      GRANT CREATE FILE FORMAT ON SCHEMA <DBName>.<SchemaName> to <RoleName>;

      For this instance;

      GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE <Snowflake> TO <AccountAdmin>;
      GRANT CREATE SCHEMA, MONITOR, USAGE ON DATABASE <StagingArea> TO <AccountAdmin>;
      GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> TO <AccountAdmin>;
      GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;
      GRANT CREATE STAGE ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;
      GRANT CREATE FILE FORMAT ON SCHEMA <StagingArea>.<Raw> to <AccountAdmin>;


      The steps laid out above are a pre-requisite before you start configuring Snowflake as a destination in Daton.

      Set up on Daton

      1. Log in to your Daton account and navigate to the Destinations page.

      2. Click the Add New Destination button and select Snowflake from the list of options.

      3 Enter the integration name. Daton will use the integration name to create tables in the data warehouse. 

      4. Enter connection details

      Daton scans the warehouse permissions for the users and return a list of data warehouses the user has access to.

      Enter Connection Details

      5. Select the warehouse

      Daton scans the warehouse permissions for the users and return a list of data warehouses the user has access to.

      COMPUTE_WH is the default warehouse created by Snowflake. Select the data warehouse of your choice.

      Select a Warehouse

      6. Select the database

      In this step, Daton lists databases in the selected warehouse to which the user has access. 

      Select a database

      7. Select the schema. In this step, Daton lists schemas in the selected databases to which the user has access. 

      Please note that Daton does not create schema in Snowflake. We recommend to use a dedicated schema for Daton to replicate data. 

      Select a Schema

      8. Click on Submit. 

      That is all you need to do to setup a Snowflake data warehouse on Daton. Continue to configure your sources, sit back, and let Daton take care of the data replication for you.
