Definition

A data source is an object for procuring data. The data source is localized in the OLTP (R/3).

It has

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

The extract structure describes the fields of the internal table, that contains the extracted data. The extraction type describes which type of extractor the data source uses. The extraction method extracts the data and transfers it into an internal table of the extract structure type.

In addition, the data source contains information on the type of data that it makes available, for example, attributes, transactional data, hierarchies or texts. It can also support different update type for the data.
