• Key Concepts: 
  A source record is a row of data in a source system that is used as input for a Data Services job. It is the basic unit of data that is read from the source system and transformed into a target record. Source records are identified by a unique key, which is used to identify the record in the source system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Source records are used in Data Services jobs to read data from the source system and transform it into target records. The source record is read from the source system and then transformed into a target record using the transformation rules defined in the job. The target record is then written to the target system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Data Services job, it is important to ensure that the source record has a unique key so that it can be identified in the source system. This will ensure that only one record is read from the source system and transformed into a target record. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Data Services jobs can be used to transform data from multiple sources into one target system. This allows for data from multiple sources to be combined into one target system, making it easier to analyze and report on data from multiple sources.
