, [ @named_instance = ] 'named_instance'
, [ @days_until_expiration = ] days_until_expiration , [ @source_id = ] source_id OUTPUT
Arguments
[ @collection_set_uid = ] 'collection_set_uid'
The GUID for the collection set. collection_set_uid is uniqueidentifier, with no default value. To obtain the GUID, query the dbo.syscollector_collection_sets view in the msdb database.[ @machine_name = ] 'machine_name'
The name of the server that the collection set resides on. machine_name is sysname with no default value.[ @named_instance = ] 'named_instance'
The name of the instance for the collection set. named_instance is sysname, with no default value.Note
named_instance must be the fully qualified instance name, which consists of the computer name and the instance name in the form computername\instancename.
[ @days_until_expiration = ] days_until_expiration

Remarks
Every time an upload package starts uploading data to the management data warehouse, the data collector run-time component calls core.sp_update_data_source. The core.source_info_internal table is updated if one of the following changes has happened since the last upload:
A new collection set was added.
The value for days_until_expiration has changed.
Permissions
Requires membership in the mdw_writer (with EXECUTE permission) fixed database role.
Examples
The following example updates the data source (in this case the Disk Usage collection set), sets the number of days until expiration, and returns the identifier for the source. In the example, the default instance is used.
USE <management_data_warehouse>;
GO
DECLARE @source_id int;
EXEC core.sp_update_data_source
@collection_set_uid = '7B191952-8ECF-4E12-AEB2-EF646EF79FEF',
@machine_name = '<computername>',
@named_instance = 'MSSQLSERVER',
@days_until_expiration = 10,
@source_id = @source_id OUTPUT;
