Hi team, is it possible to use the same tap twice? For example, if I want to re-use

tap-zendesk

in the same project, once with a Snowflake target and another time with a CSV target, how can I set up the tap? Can I inherit from tap-zendesk, as we do with targets?

Are you connecting to the same zendesk instance? The

state

store considers both tap and target so you should have isolated state between the two targets when using

run

.

Absolutely. If you just want to run tap-zendesk to target-csv and target-snowflake, no additional configuration is needed. Just run them as usual:

meltano run tap-zendesk target-csv
meltano run tap-zendesk target-snowflake

If you have several zendesk accounts, you can use inherit-from just like with targets.

I meant in the meltano.yml how to configure the tap, did not try inheriting yet. Is there a naming convention (like with targets for example, if i inherit from target-snowflake, the name of the next one is target-snowflake--xy)? Do you have some docs I can check on this? I am connecting to the same instance @Andy Carter

I think as Henning suggested you can run both targets just fine without any changes to your tap. You don't need another inherited tap. State for your different tap-target combinations will be maintained separately.

I actually plan the following: Extract x tables from a tap towards Snowflake, target-snowflake Extract y tables from same tap (same instance, same config) towards GCP, target-gcp How would you configure meltano.yml for this goal? We can assume the tap is tap-zendesk

so one set of tables into snowflake, and a different set of tables into gcp? I think you would need to use inheritance, and then alter

select

config to select the streams (tables) you need. https://docs.meltano.com/reference/command-line-interface/#how-to-use-15

so one set of tables into snowflake, and a different set of tables into gcp?

Yep!
