I have created a Snowflake task like the one below,
CREATE or replace TASK staging.task_name
WAREHOUSE = 'staging_warehouse'
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 0 1 * * * UTC'
AS
delete from staging....
but I dont the see task scheduled or executed looking at the task history
select *
from table(information_schema.task_history(
scheduled_time_range_start=>dateadd('hour',-10,current_timestamp()),
result_limit => 10,
task_name=>'task_name'));
I usually run task with minute based schedule and this is the first time using a cron schedule, what might I be missing here?
Can you enable the task and then run the query again?
alter task staging.task_name resume;

I have created a Snowflake two tasks like the two below, and they havent worked so far.
1// should run at the beginning of each week at 5 am CET time
Create or replace task WEEKLY_jOB
warehouse =compute_wh
schedule = 'USING CRON 0 5 * * 1 CET'
AS
INSERT INTO ... ;
ALTER TASK WEEKLY_jOB RESUME;
2// should run at the beginning of each month at 5 am CET time
Create or replace task MONTHLY_JOB
warehouse =compute_wh
schedule = 'USING CRON 0 5 1 * * CET'
AS
INSERT INTO ...;
ALTER TASK MONTHLY_JOB RESUME;
I have to write a snowflake task to run everyday at every 2 minutes from 5:00 EST to 5:00 PM EST.
The code I wrote is not working, the task didnt stop running even after 5:00 PM:
CREATE OR REPLACE TASK tsk_master
WAREHOUSE = XS_WH
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON * 5-17 * * * America/New_York'
TIMESTAMP_INPUT_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24'
COMMENT = 'Master task job to trigger all other tasks'
AS call pntinsight_lnd.SP_ACCT_DIM_1();
Please suggest what did I do wrong, how to stop it from running after 5 PM, and how can i set it to run every 2 minutes?
You have to define all trigger minutes, it looks ugly but it should work:
CREATE OR REPLACE TASK tsk_master
WAREHOUSE = XS_WH
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,54,56,58 5-17 * * * America/New_York'
TIMESTAMP_INPUT_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24'
COMMENT = 'Master task job to trigger all other tasks'
AS call pntinsight_lnd.SP_ACCT_DIM_1();
snowflake task to run everyday at every 2 minutes from 5:00 EST to 5:00 PM EST.
Optional parameters:
/n
Indicates the nth instance of a given unit of time. Each quanta of time is computed independently
So every 2 minutes will be:
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON */2 5-17 * * * America/New_York'
The task should run at 2:27am UTC, but it did not executed.
GRANT EXECUTE TASK ON ACCOUNT TO ROLE SYSADMIN;
CREATE or replace TASK TASK_DELETE3
WAREHOUSE = TEST
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 27 2 * * * UTC' as
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE TEST2."PUBLIC"."DELETE"
CLONE TEST1."PUBLIC"."DELETE";
ALTER TASK TASK_DELETE3 RESUME;
The task [state] = started. Does anyone know why?
If the status shows that the task is started, that means it is enabled and will run in the scheduled times.
You can check the task history to see the previous runs and next run of the task using the following query:
select *
from table(information_schema.task_history(
task_name=>'TASK_DELETE3'));
I was using a different role when I was checking the table in the database. The Task successfully completed at scheduled time.
I'm testing SnowFlake. To do this I created an instance of SnowFlake on GCP.
One of the tests is to try the daily load of data from a STORAGE INTEGRATION.
To do that I had generated the STORAGE INTEGRATION and the stage.
I tested the copy
copy into DEMO_DB.PUBLIC.DATA_BY_REGION from #sg_gcs_covid pattern='.*data_by_region.*'
and all goes fine.
Now it's time to test the daily scheduling with the task statement.
I created this task:
CREATE TASK schedule_regioni
WAREHOUSE = COMPUTE_WH
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 42 18 9 9 * Europe/Rome'
COMMENT = 'Test Schedule'
AS
copy into DEMO_DB.PUBLIC.DATA_BY_REGION from #sg_gcs_covid pattern='.*data_by_region.*';
And I enabled it:
alter task schedule_regioni resume;
I got no errors, but the task don't loads data.
To resolve the issue i had to put the copy in a stored procedure and insert the call of the storede procedure instead of the copy:
DROP TASK schedule_regioni;
CREATE TASK schedule_regioni
WAREHOUSE = COMPUTE_WH
SCHEDULE = 'USING CRON 42 18 9 9 * Europe/Rome'
COMMENT = 'Test Schedule'
AS
call sp_upload_c19_regioni();
The question is: this is a desired behavior or an issue (as I suppose)?
Someone can give to me some information about this?
I've just tried ( but with storage integration and stage on AWS S3) and it works fine also using copy command inside sql part of the task, without calling a stored procedure.
In order to start investigating the issue, I would check following info (maybe for debugging I would create the task scheduling it every few minutes):
check task_history and verify executions
select *
from table(information_schema.task_history(
scheduled_time_range_start=>dateadd('hour',-1,current_timestamp()),
result_limit => 100,
task_name=>'YOUR_TASK_NAME'));
if previous step is successfull, check copy_history and verify the input file name , target table and number of records/errors are the expected ones
SELECT *
FROM TABLE (information_schema.copy_history(TABLE_NAME => 'YOUR_TABLE_NAME',
start_time=> dateadd(hours, -1, current_timestamp())))
ORDER BY 3 DESC;
Check if the results are the same you get when the task with sp call is executed.
Please also confirm that you are loading new files not yet loaded into your table with COPY command (otherwise you need to specify FORCE = TRUE parameter in the copy command or remove metadata information truncating your target table to reload the same files).
I have a task scheduled to run every 15 minutes:
CREATE OR REPLACE TASK mytask
WAREHOUSE = 'SHARED_WH_MEDIUM'
SCHEDULE = '15 MINUTE'
STATEMENT_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS = 3600,
QUERY_TAG = 'KLIPFOLIO'
AS
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE mytable AS
SELECT * from xxx;
;
alter task mytask resume;
I see from the output of task_history() that the task is SCHEDULED:
select * from table(aftonbladet.information_schema.task_history(task_name => 'MYTASK')) order by scheduled_time;
QUERY_ID NAME DATABASE_NAME SCHEMA_NAME QUERY_TEXT CONDITION_TEXT STATE ERROR_CODE ERROR_MESSAGE SCHEDULED_TIME COMPLETED_TIME RETURN_VALUE
*** MYTASK *** *** *** SCHEDULED 2020-01-21 09:58:12.434 +0100
but I want it to run right now without waiting for the SCHEDULED_TIME , is there any way to accomplish that?
Snowflake now supports running tasks manually. Just use the EXECUTE TASK command:
EXECUTE TASK manually triggers an asynchronous single run of a scheduled task (either a standalone task or the root task in a task tree) independent of the schedule defined for the task. A successful run of a root task triggers a cascading run of child tasks in the tree as their precedent task completes, as though the root task had run on its defined schedule.
Also, there is no need for the task in started mode. Even tasks in suspended mode can be executed manually.
There is no way currently to execute a task manually. You could, however, alter the task schedule to 1 minute, let it run, and then alter it back to 15 minutes, so that you're not waiting the full 15 minutes. I have seen this request multiple times, and there is an Idea on Lodge (https://community.snowflake.com/s/ideas) that you should upvote (search for 'Tasks' and I think it'll be one of the top ideas). Since Tasks are still in Public Preview, it's likely that these types of ideas will be reviewed and prioritized if they have a lot of votes.
To build on Mike's answer:
You could have a task that executes every minute, but only if there's data on the stream!
For this you can create a table and stream just to decide if the task will be triggered every minute or not.
This root task should delete the data inserted in the stream to prevent the task running again.
So then you can have dependent tasks that execute every time you bring data into the stream, but only when the stream has new data.
This relies on the ability to run a task only when SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA()
-- stream so this task executes every minute, but only if there's new data
create table just_timestamps_stream_table(value varchar);
create stream just_timestamps_stream on table just_timestamps_stream_table;
-- https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/tasks-intro.html
create or replace task mytask_minute
warehouse = test_small
schedule = '1 MINUTE'
when SYSTEM$STREAM_HAS_DATA('just_timestamps_stream')
as
-- consume stream so tasks doesn't execute again
delete from just_timestamps_stream_table;
-- the real task to be executed
create or replace task mytask_minute_child1
warehouse = test_small
after mytask_minute
as
insert into just_timestamps values(current_timestamp, 'child1');
