How to deactivate a source

This page will explain how to deactivate a source in K

There are 3 classes of sources:

1. Identity Stores - These are sources such as Active Directory or LDAP to load User and Group information into K.

2. Databases - These are sources such as Oracle, Teradata, Snowflake to load metadata and logs from the database source.

3. Tools - There are sources like Tableau, Alteryx, Informatica to load metadata and logs from the tool.

Known limitations

• You can only deactivate Databases and Tools currently.

• Deactivated sources cannot be reactivated. This will be addressed in an upcoming release

• Deactivating a source may take some time as the process deactivates all of the source’s items (reports, tables etc).
  Deactivated items can be still be found in Search by using the Active = No filter
