The Datasource defines a connection to an external database. You need to define at least one of these in order to push and pull data to and from external database systems.

It has a name and a driver class (which should match the kind of datasource you are connecting to, e.g. Oracle, MySQL, SQLServer etc.). The protect during import flagĀ can be used to prevent this datasource being updated or deleted during import. Remember to set the enabled flag to make the datasource active. Most importantly, ensure you have configured at least one datasource instance.
