Get the name of the selected data source

While you can get the selected panel (DSV) object. To get the name of the data source, the parent object needs to accessed:

var ec = app.easycatalogObject;
var myDSV = ec.selectedDataView();
var myDS = myDSV.parent;
alert(myDS.dataSourceName);

var ec = app.easycatalogObject;

var myDSV = ec.selectedDataView();

var myDS = myDSV.parent;

alert(myDS.dataSourceName);
