  Key Concepts: 
  A Data Source Name (DSN) is a unique identifier used to connect an application to a data source. In SAP Data Services, a DSN is used to define the connection between the application and the data source. It contains information such as the type of data source, the server name, and the database name. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use a DSN, you must first create it in SAP Data Services. To do this, open the Data Services Designer and select “Create New Data Source” from the File menu. Enter the necessary information such as the type of data source, server name, and database name. Once you have entered all of the necessary information, click “OK” to save the DSN. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a DSN in SAP Data Services, it is important to make sure that all of the information is correct. If any of the information is incorrect, it can cause errors when attempting to connect to the data source. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the necessary permissions are granted for the user that will be connecting to the data source.
