• Key Concepts: 
  Local window is a feature of SAP Event Stream Processor (ESP) that allows users to define a window of time in which to process events. This window can be used to limit the amount of data that is processed, or to ensure that only events within a certain time frame are processed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the local window feature, users must first define the window size and type. The window size can be defined as either a fixed number of events or a fixed amount of time. The type of window can be either sliding or tumbling. Sliding windows move forward in time as new events are processed, while tumbling windows remain fixed in size and reset after each event is processed. 
  
  Once the window size and type have been defined, users can then specify the conditions for processing events within the local window. These conditions can include filtering out certain types of events, or applying specific transformations to the data within the window. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using local windows, it is important to consider how often the window should be reset. If the window is reset too often, it may cause unnecessary overhead and slow down processing. On the other hand, if the window is not reset often enough, it may cause data to be processed out of order or missed altogether.
