Data sources are the
building blocks that you use to set up an enterprise configuration. Data
sources define all the databases and logic machines configuration. Each
database and machine must be defined as a data source to recognize it.

There are two types of data

Database data sources
A database is a grouping of
tables in a database management system. You must identify databases to the
applications that access them. You can distribute databases across a network
and involve various servers and database management systems. A database data
source identifies the database information that the software needs to connect
to a database.

Logic machine data sources
A logic machine is the
machine on which batch applications and master business functions run. You must
identify logic machines using a data source definition. The data source
definition must include the network information about the machine. When mapping
logic objects for distributed processing, the software uses the machine data source
(distributed processing data source) as the target location for processing
logic objects.
