Remarks

A data source object is one of the first class object (FCO) types in PerformancePoint Services in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. Data sources are stored in a SharePoint document library (by default, the PerformancePoint Data Connections Library), but other FCOs are stored in a SharePoint list.

A supported development scenario for PerformancePoint Services is to create a custom tabular data source. For more information, see Development Scenarios with PerformancePoint Services.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
