Can I alter or replace the connector for a given dataset?

The MySQL SSH connector I had been using stopped being able to connect last week after my network administrator retired the server that I was using as an SSH tunnel. I can still connect to the target database using a direct MySQL connection and would like to alter the connector settings or swap it with a different connector. Is there a way to change the data connector for the existing dataset or will I need to completely replace the dataset?

    You can't directly change the connector type for an existing dataset. Behind the scenes I believe Domo has a unique identifier so it knows two different datasets, even if given the same name.

    You can update the connection settings for the existing connector. Or create a new dataset with a different connector. And migrate your existing elements to the new dataset and update cards, reports, etc. But I don't know anyway to modify and link back to the original dataset.

    Thank you for the answer. I will see if I can salvage the existing connector by updating its settings.
