To extract data from a source, first define sources in the repository. You can import or create the following types of source definitions in the Source Analyzer:

You can import sources that use multibyte character sets. Source code pages must be a superset of the target code pages.

Source definitions can be single- or multi-group. A single-group source has a single group in the source definition. Relational sources use a single-group source definition. A multi-group source has multiple groups in the source definition. Non-relational sources such as XML sources use multi-group source definitions.
