Before Using the SMA

Best practices to get the most out of the tool

PreviousOverviewNextSupported Platforms

Last updated 8 months ago

The Snowpark Migrator Accelerator (SMA) is a powerful tool for analysis and conversion.

NOTE: Before you use the SMA, you should understand how to use it and interpret the outcome. Use the training and other resources on to get up to speed on the tool.

As powerful as the tool is, it takes in code files as an input. This tool's ability to analyze those files depends on the quality of the input. In other words, the accelerator is only as good as the code you put into it.

This section will help you get the most out of the SMA before you ever even open it. Specifically, this section will cover:

The output you get will only be as good as the input you prepare. Let's take a look at how to ensure the best experience.
