Issue with the data source short name, cannot change it afterwords

Dear,

 

when creating a new data source connection, my colleague cloned it from an existing instance and the adjusted the ingest instance mapping. Whereas mistakenly there is an unwanted character in the short name as below.

After hitting the clone button it appears not possible to change the short name anymore. Thus the name in the storage account container is also incorrect. Could you advice how we can change this short name?

The setups (such of pk and incremental settings) of the data source are completed, and the DW_SourceCode is also used as a calculated column and loaded to the following layers so it is not impossible to create the data source from scratch but would cost a lot time.. That is why we want to see if it’s still possible to be edited.

Thank you in advance

Hi ​@Xiaoqing Hu 

It is most likely not possible for you to change it after it has been created with this name.

I think that could be a good idea for a feature actually.

I will ask internally if this can be changed.

Hi ​@Xiaoqing Hu 

I have converted this to a product idea

As a workaround, please create a new new data source in the desktop application with the new name
