# WhereScape FAQ

> Preview: common questions about the WhereScape connector.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Preview.** The WhereScape connector isn't generally available yet.

## Connector Lifecycle

> **What happens if I delete a connector?**
>
> Deleting a source triggers an approval workflow based on your organization's settings. Once approved, the source and all associated metadata are permanently deleted. The deletion cannot be undone after approval.

> **What happens to existing data and alerts if a connector is paused or disconnected?**
>
> Existing metadata, run history, and alerts are retained while the connector is inactive. No new data is collected until the connector is re-enabled. If the connector is permanently deleted (after approval), all associated data is removed.

## WhereScape-Specific

> **Which WhereScape repositories are supported?**
>
> Repositories on Microsoft SQL Server. Oracle, Teradata, and DB2 repositories aren't supported.

> **Does Prizm read my data warehouse?**
>
> No. Prizm reads only the WhereScape metadata repository, and it is read-only.

> **Can I connect Dev, Test, and Prod repositories?**
>
> Yes. Each repository is a separate connection with its own catalog. Prizm doesn't correlate assets across environments.

> **Is Windows Authentication supported?**
>
> Not yet. Use a database username and password, or retrieve them from a vault.

> **Why does an alert need run history?**
>
> Thresholds are learned from each job's and task's own history, and alerts need at least 5 runs. Until then values show without a threshold.
