This field is used by Autogen to determine the data source that the Target System Database validation reports will be created against.
Data Source ID – Required - Select the default Migration Object Database that should be used for all Objects assigned to the Process Area. Note: It Is recommended that there is a 1:1 relationship between Wave / Process Area and Migration Object Database.
