An XML/A source provides access to a single catalog (database schema) referenced by a Mondrian connection in a local instance of JasperReports Server. It defines a particular Mondrian connection in the repository that answers OLAP requests. The XML/A source is referenced by remote clients (such as an XML/A connection in a remote instance of JasperReports Server). The catalog name you specify uniquely defines the data that an XML/A client can retrieve from the source.
An XML/A source is also sometimes called an XML/A definition.
