Set up auto-fulfillment¶

This section describes how to set up Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment (auto-fulfillment) for secure share data products and application package data products. It also describes how to set up object-level auto-fulfillment for a listing.

You must add a data product to your listing before you can set up auto-fulfillment. Also, the steps to set up auto-fulfillment differ depending on the data product you offer and how you make your listing available.

Set up auto-fulfillment for a secure share data product shared on the Snowflake Marketplace¶

If your data product is a secure share that you publish to the Snowflake Marketplace using a listing, use the following steps to set up auto-fulfillment:

Sign in to Snowsight.
In the navigation menu, select Data Products » Provider Studio » Listings.
Select the listing for which you want to set up auto-fulfillment.
Select Region Availability » Edit.
For Region availability, choose your desired availability.
- By default, All regions is selected. This ensures the availability of your listing in any future regions added by Snowflake.
- If your listing has specific regional limitations, change the region availability to Custom regions and select the regions in which you want to offer your data product. When you choose custom regions, your listing is visible in all current Snowflake Marketplace regions, but consumers can only get your data product in the regions you specify. Your listing will not be available in any new regions automatically.
- For paid listings, Custom regions is selected by default. Paid listings are only available in supported regions and any future supported regions added by Snowflake.
For Fulfillment method, Automatic fulfillment is the default selection. With Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment, your data product is automatically fulfilled to a region and you incur costs only when there is consumer demand in that region.

If you can’t use auto-fulfillment and the option is available, select Manual to manually replicate your data product. See Manually replicate data to fulfill a listing request.
If you select Automatic for auto-fulfillment:
1. Select a refresh interval from the drop-down list, then enter a value. You must select a refresh interval of at least 8 days.
2. If you don’t have a default warehouse set, select a warehouse to use for auto-fulfillment.
3. When you add a data product to your listing, Snowflake performs a compatibility check to validate that your data product can be auto-fulfilled to other regions. If the check returns any incompatibilities, you might need to update your data product. See Troubleshooting auto-fulfillment.
4. Select Save and Enable Fulfillment.
  
  Auto-fulfillment for the listing is now enabled, but the data product attached to the listing is not fulfilled to any regions until the listing is published and a consumer requests the data product. See How auto-fulfillment works.
If you chose to manually fulfill the listing, select Save. Before publishing the listing, you must replicate data to each of the available regions you select. See Manually replicate data to fulfill a listing request.

Set up auto-fulfillment for an application package data product shared on the Snowflake Marketplace¶

If your data product is an application package that you publish to the Snowflake Marketplace with a listing, use the following steps to set up auto-fulfillment:

Sign in to Snowsight.
In the navigation menu, select Data Products » Provider Studio » Listings.
Select the listing for which you want to set up auto-fulfillment.
Select Region Availability » Edit.
For Region availability, choose your desired availability.
- By default, All regions is selected. Choosing all regions ensures the availability of your listing in any future regions added by Snowflake.
- If your listing has specific regional limitations, change the region availability to Custom regions and select the regions in which you want to offer your data product. When you choose custom regions, your listing is visible in all current Snowflake Marketplace regions, but consumers can only get your data product in the regions you specify. Your listing will also not become automatically available in any new regions.
- For paid listings, Custom regions is selected by default. Paid listings are only available in supported regions and any future supported regions added by Snowflake.
Review the refresh interval configured at the account level. If you need to use a different refresh interval, see Set the account-level refresh interval.
If you don’t have a default warehouse set, select a warehouse to use for auto-fulfillment.
Select Save and Enable Fulfillment.

Auto-fulfillment for the listing is now enabled, but the data product attached to the listing is not fulfilled to any regions until the listing is published and a consumer requests the data product. See How auto-fulfillment works.

Set up object-level auto-fulfillment¶

You can configure auto-fulfillment to automatically transfer the data product associated with your listing to other Snowflake regions. You also can use SUBDB auto-fulfillment and choose to fulfill only the tables and views in a data product to a remote region using auto-fulfillment. This can help reduce costs and ease the manageability burden of your auto-fulfilled data product.

The steps below describe how to set up object-level auto-fulfillment for a listing. As part of a typical workflow, you set up object-level auto-fulfillment when you set up the region availability (for a listing published on the Snowflake Marketplace) or when you add a consumer located in another region (for a listing shared privately).

Create a listing. See Create and publish a listing.
Add a data product that contains only supported objects.
Set up regions or accounts to share with to start setting up auto-fulfillment:

For a listing published to the Snowflake Marketplace:
1. Locate the Region Availability section and select Add.
2. For Region availability, keep the default of All regions or select Custom regions for your listing.
For a listing shared privately, add a consumer account in a remote region.
Select your preferred refresh interval for updating the data product in remote regions.
Publish your listing or save it as a draft.
