Documentation

Definition

A DataSource is an object for retrieving data. The DataSource is located in an OLTP system.

It has

• an extract structure,
• an extraction type and
• an extraction method.

The extract structure describes the internal table fields that contain the extracted data. The extraction type describes the extractor type used by the DataSource. The extraction method extracts the data and transfers it to an internal table with the same type as the extract structure.

The DataSource also contains information about the type of data it provides, for example, attributes, transactional data, hierarchies, or texts. It also supports different types of data update.
