Remove a Data Source

You can remove a data source that you have registered to CA Performance Center. A data source that you remove can be registered to another CA Performance Center instance. The removal process also unlocks data source administration.

Views that are associated with a data source that you remove are suppressed if View Suppression is enabled. As a result, removing a data source can cause menus and dashboards to become unavailable. To be displayed, a dashboard, context tab, or custom menu must contain at least one view whose data source is registered.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with the Administrator role.
2. Navigate to the Manage Data Sources page.

   The Manage Data Sources page displays the current list of registered data sources.

3. Select the data source that you want to remove (to unregister).
4. Click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.

   The data source is removed from the list.
