A data source is a resource in the repository that defines how and where to obtain the data displayed by reports or views. Typically, it includes the location of the data and the details you need to access it, such as a user name and password. In the case of Jaspersoft OLAP, data sources are exposed through Mondrian connections.
For detailed information about data sources, refer to the TIBCO JasperReports Server Administrator Guide.
