+The triggerDataSource() function eliminates the need for manually executing a Data Source from the UI.
It programmatically triggers the import of a predefined Data Source record and loads the associated data into an Import Set table.
+This function is typically used in:
+* Scheduled Script Executions
+* Flow Designer Actions.
