Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity

Introduction

A Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity, using its Pinecone (Beta) connection, deletes a vector from Pinecone and is intended to be used as a target to consume data in an operation.

Create a Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity

An instance of a Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity is created from a Pinecone (Beta) connection using its Delete Vectors activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Creating an activity instance in Component reuse.

An existing Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity can be edited from these locations:

• The design canvas (see Component actions menu in Design canvas).
• The project pane's Components tab (see Component actions menu in Project pane Components tab).

Configure a Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity

Follow these steps to configure a Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity:

• Step 1: Enter a name and select an index
  Provide a name for the activity and select an index.

• Step 2: Review the data schemas
  Any request or response schemas are displayed.

Step 1: Enter a name and select an index

In this step, provide a name for the activity and select an index. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Name: Enter a name to identify the activity. The name must be unique for each Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity and must not contain forward slashes / or colons :.

• Select an index: This section displays indexes available in the Pinecone (Beta) endpoint.

  • Selected index: After an index is selected, it is listed here.

  • Search: Enter any column's value into the search box to filter the list of indexes. The search is not case-sensitive. If indexes are already displayed within the table, the table results are filtered in real time with each keystroke. To reload indexes from the endpoint when searching, enter search criteria and then refresh, as described below.

  • Refresh: Click the refresh icon or the word Refresh to reload indexes from the Pinecone (Beta) endpoint. This may be useful if indexes have been added to Pinecone (Beta). This action refreshes all metadata used to build the table of indexes displayed in the configuration.

  • Selecting an index: Within the table, click anywhere on a row to select an index. Only one index can be selected. The information available for each index is fetched from the Pinecone (Beta) endpoint:

    • Name: The name of the index.

    • Type: The type of the index, either dense or sparse.

    • Host: The host name of the index.

  Tip

  If the table does not populate with available indexes, the Pinecone (Beta) connection may not be successful. Ensure you are connected by reopening the connection and retesting the credentials.

• Index namespace: Enter the index namespace.

• Optional settings: Click to expand additional optional settings:

  • Deletion Type: Specify the deletion type to be used, one of Delete vectors by ID, or Delete vectors by metadata, or Delete all vectors in a namespace.

• Save & Exit: If enabled, click to save the configuration for this step and close the activity configuration.

• Next: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and continue to the next step. The configuration will not be saved until you click the Finished button on the last step.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Step 2: Review the data schemas

Any request or response schemas are displayed. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

• Data schema: These data schemas are inherited by adjacent transformations and are displayed again during transformation mapping.

  Note

  Data supplied in a transformation takes precedence over the activity configuration.

  The Pinecone (Beta) connector uses the Pinecone API. Refer to the Pinecone Delete records documentation for more information.

• Refresh: Click the refresh icon or the word Refresh to regenerate schemas from the Pinecone (Beta) endpoint. This action also regenerates a schema in other locations throughout the project where the same schema is referenced, such as in an adjacent transformation.

• Back: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and return to the previous step.

• Finished: Click to save the configuration for all steps and close the activity configuration.

• Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Next steps

After configuring a Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities, transformations, or scripts as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity actions menu in Connector basics.

Pinecone (Beta) Delete Vectors activities can be used as a target with these operation patterns:

• Transformation pattern
• Two-transformation pattern (as the first or second target)

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.
