Deleting a Workspace

You can delete (terminate) any Data Integration workspace.

When you terminate a workspace, you remove all associated objects and resources:

  • Data assets
  • Projects
  • Folders
  • Data flows
  • Tasks
  • Applications
  • Task runs

All task runs within a workspace must be stopped before you can delete the workspace. Any open tabs associated with the workspace are closed when it's deleted. After you delete a workspace, it cannot be restored. Be sure to carefully review the workspace and resources before you commit to deleting it.

Data Integration retains deleted and failed workspaces for 15 days. After 15 days, the workspaces are permanently removed.

    1. Close all open tabs in the workspace that you want to delete.
    2. Navigate to the main Workspaces page.
    3. From the Actions menu (Actions menu) of the workspace to delete, select Terminate.
    4. In the Terminate workspace dialog box, enter the amount of time in minutes to wait before deleting the workspace.

      The wait time lets active task runs complete gracefully.

    5. To enable a forced stop, select Force stop active task runs when wait time expires.
      Caution

      Force stopping an active task run could result in data inconsistencies in target data entities. If the checkbox isn't selected, Data Integration attempts to terminate the workspace and any active task runs until the wait time expires. If task runs are still active when the wait time expires, the workspace remains active.
    6. Click Terminate.

    You're returned to the Workspaces page, and the status of the workspace changes to Terminating.
