Dataiku DSSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, enabling users to perform a wide range of operations on Dataiku DSS resources. Specifically for the Plugin resource and the Delete Plugin operation, the node allows you to delete a plugin from the Dataiku DSS instance by specifying its Plugin ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating plugin management tasks such as installing, updating, or removing plugins programmatically within workflows. For example, you might want to automatically clean up unused plugins or manage plugin lifecycle as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

Practical example:

• You have a workflow that manages your Dataiku DSS environment and want to remove a specific plugin by its ID without manual intervention. This node can be configured to delete that plugin safely.

Properties

Output

The output of the node is a JSON array containing the response from the Dataiku DSS API after attempting to delete the plugin. Typically, for a delete operation, the response may be empty or contain status information confirming the deletion.

If the operation involves downloading files or binary content (not applicable for delete), the node would output binary data accordingly. For the delete plugin operation, no binary output is expected.

Example output JSON structure on success might be:

{
  "Status Code": "204 No Content"
}

or an empty JSON object indicating successful deletion.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
• Requires valid API credentials: an API key credential with access rights to manage plugins.
• The node expects the Dataiku DSS server URL and user API key to be configured in the credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the API key credential is properly set up and linked.
• Plugin ID Required: The node will throw an error if the Plugin ID is not provided. Make sure to specify the correct Plugin ID.
• API Errors: Errors returned from the Dataiku DSS API (e.g., permission denied, plugin not found) will be surfaced as node errors. Verify that the API key has sufficient permissions and that the Plugin ID exists.
• Network Issues: Connection failures or timeouts indicate network problems or incorrect server URLs.
• Unexpected Response Format: If the API returns unexpected data, check the API version compatibility and the correctness of input parameters.
