Summary
When updating a custom connector in Snowflake, the associated sources do not get updated automatically. It seems like new sources and connections need to be created for the latest version of the custom connector.
Question
Hi all, I’m using a custom connector to ingest API data into Snowflake. When I update a custom connector, creating a new version of it, are the associated sources updated as well? It doesn’t look like it. It looks like I need to create brand new sources and connection for the latest version of the custom connector.

When you update a custom connector, creating a new version, the associated sources are not automatically updated. You need to manually update the connector version for each instance of the connector you wish to upgrade. Each instance of the connector must be updated separately. If you have created multiple instances of a connector, updating one will not affect the others. Here are the steps to update the connector version: 1. Select Sources in the main navbar. 2. Select the instance of the connector you wish to upgrade. 3. Select Upgrade 1. Follow the prompt to confirm you are ready to upgrade to the new version. For Airbyte Open Source users, you must manually update the connector image in your local registry before proceeding with the migration. Here are the steps: 1. Select Settings in the main navbar. 1. Select Sources. 2. Find your connector in the list of connectors. 3. Select Change to update your OSS version to the latest available version. Please note that once a connector has been published for use within Airbyte, special care must be taken to account for the customer impact of updates to the connector.
