Managing dSources

DCT provides the ability to view, search, sort, and filter all dSources within a connected Delphix ecosystem. This page can be found under the Data section and is used to find and act upon all dSources, if they have the appropriate access.

dSource overview

Individual dSource details can be viewed and acted upon by clicking down on a particular dSource's detailed view. Once clicked, users will be sent to an "overview" tab that provides relevant metadata related to the dSource.

Timeflow visibility

Users are able to view snapshot information by tabbing over to the "timeflow" section, which lists all available snapshots via a vertical timeline. Users are able to modify snapshot retention periods by clicking on the ellipsis located to the right of the relevant snapshot.

Access auditing

Users are able to audit what other users have access to a particular dSource, what access group they belong to, and the associated permissions that each user has on that particular dSource.

dSource linking

DCT 10.0.0 introduces the feature to link a dSource using DCT APIs. With the new API parameters exposed from DCT, you can get the dSource linking defaults and use them to connect the dSource. The API parameters are available in the API references article under:

BaseDSourceLinkSourceParameters
OracleDSourceLinkSourceParameters
OracleStagingPushDSourceLinkSourceParameters
AppDataDSourceLinkSourceParameters
ASEDSourceLinkSourceParameters
LinkDSourceResponse
LinkDSourceDefaultRequest
MSSQLDSourceLinkSourceParameters
MSSQLDSourceStagingPushLinkSourceParameters

DCT supports APIs for linking all types of databases. DCT does not have a GUI flow for these APIs yet, which is why they are API only.

As a prerequisite, Continuous Data Engines should be registered in DCT and should have non-linked sources to be linked as a dSource.
