bw_datasource_details
Get parsed DataSource details from SAP BW. Use outputPath to write the complete result to a file and receive a summary, avoiding large inline responses.

Input Schema

| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| datasource | Yes | ||
| outputPath | No | If provided, the full result is written to this path (under the workdir) and the tool returns only a small summary envelope { ok, outputPath, bytes, summary }. Objects/arrays are written as JSON; ONLY the bw_*_get_xml family writes the raw XML string as plain text (that file is directly reusable as xmlPath in a later save call). Other *_get tools (e.g. bw_dtp_get, bw_trfn_get) write the PARSED XML-to-JSON tree, not raw XML — use the matching bw_*_get_xml tool when you need the raw XML string. Use outputPath for large responses (XML, table data, logs, dataflow graphs). When set, tools skip inline pagination/projection so the file contains the complete payload. | |
