Definition

Set of fields that provide the data for a business unit for data transfer into BI. From a technical viewpoint, the DataSource is a set of logically-related fields that are provided to transfer data into BI in a flat structure (the extraction structure), or in multiple flat structures (for hierarchies).

There are four types of DataSource:

● DataSource for transaction data

● DataSource for master data

○ DataSource for attributes

○ DataSource for texts

○ DataSource for hierarchies
