Design Studio 1.3 : one large generic Data Source or multiple smaller Data Sources

[hans_segers]

Dear all,

In DS 1.3, is it still a best practice to have one large generic Data Source ? Or is having multiple smaller Data Sources a better solution ?

Minimizing the number of Data Sources remains a golden rule, but what is the best solution :

• One large generic Data Source : and using setDataSource

or

• Multiple smaller Data Sources : and using Load in Script and Background Processing

Many thanks for sharing your ideas,

Hans

It depends on your application and how much the data is pulling in and how you want to present that to the user/consumer of the application.

At TechEd Las Vegas last year, SAP showed a 9 dashboards (3 per row) with background processing for each row.
