SMA-Checkpoints Walkthrough

Using checkpoints feature within SMA.

The Snowpark Migration Accelerator provides the SMA-Checkpoints feature, this feature goal is to be used within the checkpoints feature of the Snowflake Extension. SMA-Checkpoints can be either enabled or disabled in order to generate a file named “checkpoints.json” which can be used by the extension to insert the checkpoints in the corresponding location based on the analysis made by the SMA.
