Task Json Source Table Keys

[egile20]

I'm working on automating task modifications, specifically regarding the addition of new tables.  I have a JSON example where SAP is the source endpoint. 

"source_tables": {
"name": "SAP-SRC",
"explicit_included_tables": [
{
"owner": "R4S - CA MASTER",
"name": "ADR6",
"description": "<b>Source:</b> ADR6</br><b>Class:</b> Transparent</br><b>Description:</b> E-Mail Addresses (Business Address Services)"
},
{
"owner": "R4S - CA MASTER",
"name": "BP001",
"orig_db_id": 2138046477,
"description": "<b>Source:</b> BP001</br><b>Class:</b> Transparent</br><b>Description:</b> FS-Specific Attributes; Organization"
}}}

Within the JSON example, there are keys labeled as "orig_db_id" and "description".
1) What is the "orig_db_id" and "description" keys used for in the source table list? 
2) What would be the implications of omitting either "orig_db_id" or "description" from the task JSON?

Hello @egile20 ,

The two values are optional, they are retrieved from source database while exporting to the JSON file. You may omit them from the JSON file.

Hope this helps.
