getDataSourceChildResources
Deprecated as of API version 6.0. Instead use getIntrospectableResourceIdsTask or getIntrospectedResourceIdsTask to get this list of possible resources, , or getIntrospectionAttributes to get the desired data. If the resource is introspected, you can use getResource. getResources. or getChildResources.
Gets information on the child resources within a data source, even if those child resources have not been introspected. Accessing data source childInfo is relatively expensive. If multiple calls to this operation and/or updateDataSourceChildInfos and/or updateDataSourceChildInfosWithFilter are going to be made, making them all on one transaction improves performance. Also see reintrospectDataSource.
