Sources contain information about services that provide data and its metadata (data structure).
Source List
A list of all sources is displayed on the Source List page. On this page, it is also possible to validate source and view source updating history.
Source Validation
Administrators can validate a source by clicking the Validate link. Validation is necessary to check the source remote changes. It covers the cases when an additional column was added to a specific table on a remote source, removed from it, or its properties changed (type, canFilter, canEdit). After validation, all changes will be synchronized.
After clicking the Apply Changes button, the source will be updated, as shown in the following image.
Source History
Administrators can access the Source Update History page from the Source List page by clicking the History link. This page contains all update events after a source validation, as shown in the following image.
