Hi Kumar,

DataSources include extraction source structures and transfer structures. Data is staged in the extraction source structure and the transfer structure, and transferred into the BW system by ALE or tRFC.

An InfoSource is always a quantity of Info Object that logically belong together. The structure in which these are stored is called a communication structure.

There are basically two types of InfoSources.

InfoSources with flexible updating

Info Sources with direct updating

Hi Kumar,

Datasource implies the logical grouping of fields from a source system whereas Infosource implies the logical grouping of fields which may be from different Datasources & hence different source systems.

<b>Multiple DataSources can be assigned to an InfoSource.</b>
