Hey Carsten,

Hope you are well!

What build of 7.3 are you currently using?

Are you deleting the datasource as the administrator?

Thanks,

Lesley

Hey Carsten,

Ive tried replicating on your version and build however it has not been successful, after looking more into it and talking to the team about it, there is a query you can run against your yellowfin configuration database to delete the datasource.

Please backup your yellowfin config database before running the query provided below. this should delete your desired datasource!

UPDATE ReportViewsource

SET AccessCode = 'DELETED'

WHERE SourceName = <insert data source name here>

Let me know how it goes and i look forward to your response! :)

Best Wishes,

Lesley
