Steps to Pull a Data Store Version

  • Navigate to the Data Store list

    • Go to Data Center > My Connectors > Data Store

  • Select the Data Store

    • Click the Pull from VCS icon for the selected Data Store.

    • The Pull from VCS dialog box opens, displaying all available versions with commit messages.

  • Review available versions

    • Version: The version number (e.g., V1, V2).

Outcome

  • The Data Store is replaced with the pulled version, reflecting the state defined in that commit (e.g., query, columns, metadata).

  • After pulling, you can use this version in your Data Preparation, Data Store, Widgets, or Reports.

Notes & Tips:

  • Pulled versions are not reversible; once you pull a version, it replaces the current Data Store.

  • Version history is retained in the VCS for auditing, rollback, and collaboration.

  • Review commit messages before pulling to ensure the version aligns with your expected state (e.g., filter changes, query optimization).

  • If multiple versions are listed, use commit times and user names to choose the correct version to pull

Troubleshooting

  • No versions listed: Ensure the Data Store has been pushed to VCS at least once.

  • Pull icon disabled: You may not have the appropriate permissions, or VCS integration may not be set up correctly—contact an administrator.

  • Version mismatch: Verify that the correct commit message and version number match the changes you're expecting to pull.
