You can deactivate a Glue table from Data Dictionary.

To deactivate a Glue table:

  1. Open the Data Dictionary. In the initial screen, enter the name of an active table and click Display.
  2.  Click Deactivate and confirm.

The deactivation influences the Glue table based on its type:

  • Deactivate a table created through Glue Data Dictionary
    • For a Glue table created on a transparent storage, the table in the external storage is deleted and all extractors with their variants are deactivated.
    • For a Glue table created on a binary storage, all extractors with their variants are deactivated. All the created files remain on the storage.
  • Deactivate a table created from an external table
    • Both table and data in an external storage remain unchanged. All extractors and their variants are deactivated.
  • Deactivate a table generated as a part of a Glue Business object
    • In this case only the table in the external storage is deleted. Extractor and variant generated for this table aren't deactivated.
  • Deactivate a table generated by Delta merge
    • In this case only the table in the external storage is deleted.
