best practice for inactive datasources

7 years ago

In SOS you can deactivate data sources in the two categories "reports" and "data loading", so that they are no longer taken into account by executing any reports or by the data loading program, respectively. But as long as a data source is still present in the data source administration, the data source itself and the active users on that data source are taken into account for product licensing. A possible way to keep the data for later use is to export the complete data in an offline file, and then delete the data source from the data source administration. This way the data source and its users no longer count in terms of product licensing. It will start to count again when you import the data from the offline file at a later time.
