Data Source → Delete

AI-generated

Summary

Delete a Tableau data source by its ID using Connected App (JWT) or Personal Access Token authentication. The operation makes a deletion request and returns no resource data on success.

Inputs

  • authentication — Choose Connected App (JWT) or Personal Access Token; defaults to Connected App (JWT).
  • impersonateUsername — For Connected App authentication, optionally authenticate as another Tableau user. Requires site administrator privileges on the Connected App.
  • datasourceId (required) — ID of the data source to delete.
  • retryOnFail — When exposed in tool mode, automatically retry on failure; defaults to false.
  • maxTries — When retries are enabled in tool mode, maximum attempts (2–5); defaults to 3.
  • waitBetweenTries — When retries are enabled in tool mode, milliseconds between attempts (0–60000); defaults to 1000.
  • onErrorContinue — When exposed in tool mode, return an error as output data instead of failing the node; defaults to false.

Output shape

No resource body — success/failure only.

The provided source pack contains no executable bodies for this operation, so the deletion request and precise success response shape cannot be confirmed from source. In tool mode, On Error Continue can return error data instead of failing.
