About input mode
The input mode that you select determines what data source connectors are allowed for the data sources used in the workspace. The Input mode field is located on the Properties tab of a deployment configuration.
The following table shows the allowed data source connectors for each data source type, by input mode. The system enforces these rules; you cannot select a data source connector that is not allowed.
