# Using Snowflake on Azure as a target

This section describes how to set up and use Snowflake on Azure as a target in a replication task.

Information note

When configuring a task with a Snowflake on Azure target endpoint, note the following:

* If the [Apply Changes](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2024/Content/Global_Common/Content/SharedEMReplicate/Design%20Tasks/tasks_setup.htm#Apply_changes) task option is enabled and the change processing mode is set to [Batch optimized apply](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2024/Content/Global_Common/Content/SharedEMReplicate/Customize%20Tasks/tasks_applychangtunestab.htm), it is recommended to enable the Apply batched changes to multiple tables concurrently option in the [Change Processing Tuning](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2024/Content/Global_Common/Content/SharedEMReplicate/Customize%20Tasks/tasks_applychangtunestab.htm) tab.

* When the Apply batched changes to multiple tables concurrently option is selected, the option to set a Global Error Handling policy will not be available. Also, some of the task-specific error handling defaults will be different.

  For more information, see the Apply batched changes to multiple tables concurrently option in the [Change Processing Tuning](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2024/Content/Global_Common/Content/SharedEMReplicate/Customize%20Tasks/tasks_applychangtunestab.htm) tab.
