How can I add a data source to IRE Engine?

Hello
I need to have some different import sets to be identified by the IRE Engine as different data sources. currently the IRE Engine identify as the same data source all of the import sets, with the data source named "ImportSet".

I have already found a way to set the IRE data source value from a transform map script. according to this doc
https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/rome/server_legacy/c_CMDBTransformUtilAPI#CMDBTU-setDataSource_S

but I need to set my own different data sources in the Data Source field of the IRE Rules, in the attached screenshot . I am showing the field where I want to add my custom data sources, is not possible to add it in my case, how can I add more options?

You can add your own discovery source by adding it to the discovery source choices in the sys_dictionary table for the cmdb_ci table and discovery_source column.  Go to sys_dictionary and select the cmdb_ci table and discovery_source column. find_real_file.png

Is working!, thank you Sandeep

The screenshot you attached is for creating a data source rule.  This would limit what sources can insert into specific tables.  Please refer to this document for further explanation.

Sandeep's answer is the correct way of creating a new discovery source value.  I believe this is what you are trying to figure out.  Please mark Sandeep's answer as correct if that is what you are looking for.
