Managing Data Sources
You can enable, hide, ignore, empty, or delete a data source in Prepare.
Ignored Data Sources
If a data source is set to Ignore, the data source is not included during Process Data execution. Any data contained in the ignored data source cannot be accessed. When a data source is ignored, all prior relationships configured for the ignored source are canceled. If the ignored data source is the source for an ETL (scripted) data source, upon changing the status to Ignore Source, the ETL data source is no longer valid.
Empty Data Sources
The Empty Source option truncates all the data from the data source although Birst maintains the structure of the table. This allows you to remove data from a space without having to fully delete the source.
Deleted Data Sources
The Delete Source option permanently deletes the source from Birst. The database table and all the relationships defined with this source are deleted.
