2. Pass the InfoProvider name as input along with OBJVERS = A.

3. Field 'Name of Function Module/Class/HANA mod' - FUNCNAME will give you the Function Module name.

Conclusion:

Either of these two ways will give you the source of the VirtualProvider along with its SourceSystem for further investigation.
