Changing Data Source for a Dataset

Question & Answer

Hi @dan.kainz -

It sounds like you could be looking for 1 of 2 things.

  1. If you need to update the DataSource connection properties you can follow the steps outlined here Editing a database data source.

  2. Updating the DataSource used by a DataSet. This is not currently possible in the UI.

As a workaround, you can update the DataSet using the QuickSight API.

The rough process;

  1. DescribeDataset
    a. Update the property DataSourceArn to your new DataSource Arn
  2. UpdateDataset
