Delete a Data Source Connection

If you no longer need a data source connection for CDM, you can delete it.

Important: If you delete a data source, you cannot undo your action. Proceed with caution.

To permanently delete a data source connection, take these steps:

1. Verify that no reports will be adversely affected if you delete the data source connection. You cannot delete a data source if any queries are set up to use it.
2. In CDM, do either of the following to open the Data Source Connectivity tab in the work area:
   • Click the File tab, then navigate to Administration > External Data > Data Source Connectivity.
   • Click the Home tab, then in the Navigation Pane, click Administration and double-click Data Source Connectivity under External Data.
3. Right-click on the data source connection you want to delete and select Delete.
4. In the confirmation window, click Yes.
