Click the + icon in this field to open the Data Source Registry page to add a data source if necessary.

Data sources should be registered in Common. Refer to Register a Data Source in Common for more information.

System Type ID

Displays the System Type used as a basis for the Source. If no System Type is set, a user may be required to set one manually when attempting to map data from this Source to a Target in Map.

A Source data source can be assigned to only one System Type across all Targets. For example, the Source data source of sdbSAP has been assigned to the System Type SAPLEGACY for the Target ttMARA. If the Target ttMAKT also uses the data source of sdbSAP, it cannot use a different System Type such as SAP. The data source sdbSAP must use the System Type SAPLEGACY.
