Actions

Actions related to the life cycle of a dataset:

Action

Button

Description

Save

Saves all new configurations and modifications operated on the dataset.

Publish

Makes the dataset's modifications go live on the portal. The duration of the publishing varies depending on the dataset, and the nature of the modifications.

Abort

Replaces the Publish button after clicking on it, and only lasts until the end of the publishing. Stops the publishing and leaves the dataset in a clean state, but incomplete since not all records have been processed.

Unpublish

Removes the dataset from the portal, deleting all the records during the process.

In some cases, the unpublishing of a dataset can erase data (i.e. realtime without recovery, specific connectors, dataset schema change etc.).

Delete dataset

Removes the dataset from both the portal and the and back office. Entirely deletes the dataset, its records and everything else related to the dataset.

Once a dataset has been deleted, it is not possible to get it back. This operation cannot be cancelled or reversed.

Redo

Processing

The processing is ongoing. Records are extracted from the connector, processors are applied and the result is made available through the Opendatasoft API. The number of records increases during this step.

Unpublishing

The dataset is being unpublished, thus removed from the API.

Aborting processing

The ongoing processing stops at where it was when the Abort button was pushed.
