The name of the data source defined for the specified Interface Type. Possible scenarios:

For Interface service CSV/Excel: The corresponding File, FTP or Amazon S3 data source.

Note:

The filename in the Data Source definition is used only when executing the interface service using a macro.
If you are manually importing or exporting data using a file interface service, you must select the file to be used from your local machine.
When the Database is used with Interface Direction set to Import and Source set to Table, the data is imported based on the natural order of the table.
When Source is set to Query, allowing the use of Order By command, the Market Intelligence events are grouped correctly. The query must be specified as:
```
SELECT A as ColumnA,B as ColumnB,C as ColumnC, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY A) as ColumnRowNumber FROM TABLE
```

The query is rejected if specified as:

SELECT A as ColumnA, B as ColumnB,C as ColumnC FROM TABLE ORDER BY A
