  In the PLM Web Applications component, data sources are used to define the connection between an external system and SAP. This allows users to access and read data from an external system in SAP. To create a data source, users must first define the technical information needed to access and read data from an external system. This includes the type of connection (e.g., HTTP, FTP, etc.), the server address, and the user credentials. Once this information is defined, users can create a data source in SAP by entering this information into the appropriate fields.
