Close out retired external locations deliberately
For a source your team has confirmed is retired, schedule the Databricks cleanup and keep the outcome visible in your run reports.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Delete External Location
Deletes an external location.
Why this helps
Old external locations linger when cleanup depends on someone remembering the final access task.
- Adds a clear cleanup step to a planned source retirement.
- Makes the scheduled operation and its report easy to track.
- Avoids repeated manual follow-up for an explicitly retired location.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AimTell and Databricks once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation naming the confirmed retired external location and asking Notis to delete it.
- 3Pick a Notis schedule for the approved cleanup time.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with a safe real example or review the target carefully before scheduling.
Questions about this workflow
Can this remove a location with dependent tables?
The Databricks action supports force deletion of dependent external tables. State the intended behavior clearly in your instruction.
Should I schedule deletion before confirming retirement?
No. Use this only for a location your team has explicitly confirmed is no longer needed.
Is there an AimTell native trigger?
No. This workflow uses a Notis cron schedule.
