Deleting a dSource will delete the dSource metadata for a particular source database, along with all snapshots, logs, and policies stored in Delphix. This is a permanent operation, and re-attaching the dSource will require a new linking operation. If a dSource is deleted, it does not affect your source database.
If you wish to temporarily disable your dSource without deleting it, you can follow the steps described per data platform on Enabling and Disabling dSources instead.
Prerequisites
You cannot delete a dSource that has dependent virtual databases (VDBs). Before deleting a dSource, make sure that you have deleted all dependent VDBs as described per data platform on Deleting a VDB.
Procedure
- Login to the Delphix Admin application using Delphix Admin credentials.
- Click Manage.
- Click My Datasets.
- In the Datasets list, select the dSource you want to delete.
- On the Configuration tab, click the Trash Can icon.
- Click Yes to confirm.
Deleting a dSource will also delete all snapshots, logs, and descendant VDB refresh policies for that dSource. You cannot undo the deletion.
