Hi Venkat,

Datasource is one which provides the data available in the tables to the BW System.A group of fields which are coming from one or more tables is called as datasource.Data will not be resided in the datasource.It will be present in the Tables.Using Datasource we extract the data into BW.

Coming to Infosource.

InfoSource is on the BW which contains all the InfoObjects. It contains transfer structure and communication structure. Transfer structure is actually the structure similar to the R/3 Datasource structure and comm. structure contains all the InfoObjects.

Hope this Clears

Regards
