Select data sources

You can set one or more data sources for the data feed definition, for example, MS Excel, CSV, or XML files. The data sources for a data feed can be located locally, in the LAN, or on the Internet.

The data sources are represented by data source operators. Various options are available for setting the data source depending on the data source type.

See Data source operators for a list of data sources and the relevant settings supported by the data feed editor.

The source files can be selected by specifying the path, and must be stored in the Repository Repository of ARIS.
