Manage existing Amazon DataZone data sources

After you create an Amazon DataZone data source, you can modify it at any time to change the source details or the data selection criteria. When you no longer need a data source, you can delete it.

To complete these steps, you must have the AmazonDataZoneFullAccess AWS managed policy attached. For more information, see AWS managed policies for Amazon DataZone.

Edit a data source

You can edit an Amazon DataZone data source to modify its data selection settings, including adding, removing, or changing the table selection criteria. You can also add and remove databases. You can't change the data source type or the environment in which a data source is published.

To edit a data source

  1. Navigate to the Amazon DataZone data portal URL and sign in using single sign-on (SSO) or your AWS credentials. If you’re an Amazon DataZone administrator, you can navigate to the Amazon DataZone console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/datazone and sign in with the AWS account where the domain was created, then choose Open data portal.

  2. Choose Select project from the top navigation pane and select the project to which the data source belongs.

  3. Navigate to the Data tab for the project.

  4. Choose Data sources from the left navigation pane, then choose the data source that you want to modify.

  5. Navigate to the Data source definition tab and choose Edit.

  6. Make your changes to the data source definition. You can update the data source details and make changes to the data selection criteria.

  7. When you're done making changes, choose Save.

Delete a data source

When you no longer need an Amazon DataZone data source, you can remove it permenantly. After you delete a data source, all assets that originated from that data source are still available in the catalog, and users can still subscribe to them. However, the assets will stop receiving updates from the source. We recommend that you first move the dependent assets to a different data source before you delete it.

Note

You must remove all fulfillments on the data source before you can delete it. For more information, see Discovering, subscribing to, and consuming data in Amazon DataZone.

To delete a data source
