Specifying the Data Source Object
This task is a step in Process of Configuring External Business Components.
When the external table has been defined, specify the data source for the corresponding external table. The Data Source child object of the Table object specifies the data source for the corresponding external table:
The Data Source child object corresponds to a data source defined in the application configuration file (.cfg) or in the Application - Server Configuration screen, Profile Configuration view.
The Data Source child object instructs the Application Object Manager to use the data source for a specific table. If a Data Source child object is not specified, then the default data source for the application will be used.
For more information about the Data Source child object, see Siebel Tools Online Help.
